Technically she is.

But this thread isn't about Nicki. Congratulate Meghan or leave :foxaylove2

Nikki technically doesn't count as a lead on Bang Bang sis, Jessie gets that spot, most of the coins go to ha

They are all credited equally as leads and Nicki is the only credited songwriter and composer out of the three. So technically, most of the coins are going to her.

I'm glad Bang Bang got dethroned

Sorry, I accidentally clicked "submit" before I was done typing. It's all there now.

It incorporates clever word play, an underused metaphoric style, tackles a weighty issue in the US, captures a nostalgic feeling, and has a very catchy hook.

The central metaphor is slightly clever, but that's about all it has going for it. The production is basically derivative of Blurred Lines and Happy, the rest of the lyrics are utter tripe, and the whole "raise your glass you beautiful firework because we r born this ****in perfect" thing wore itself out a couple years ago. I do like that she doesn't fit the typical weight standard but if the only reason she's taking off is BECAUSE of her weight that's not really any better.

1. Doo-wop is not the same as what "Blurred Lines" and "Happy" are.

2. It's not just her weight, it's who she is pandering to. Middle-aged adults who have a need for a nostalgic style that they either missed or reminisce about, and teens who hate being judged by their body image. Two huge demographics outside of party animals and twerkers. It's a welcome change to the flow of pop music lately.

Aw good for her! Not a huge fan of the song but its always cool to see new artists smashing off the bat like this.
