Britney and Mariah have no 350 million videos (JLO got another one this year), no hit film ever, no success in television (both booted off their tv shows after one season), and are out-grossed constantly by Jennifer in Vegas.
on track 15 of Starboi and what the **** is this album maybe 3 total standout tracks so far, all the rest are basically one same forgettable, midtempo melody-less song with those whiny vocals.
Excellent releases this year:
Godga: Joanne
The Weeknd: Starboy
BeyGOD: Lemonade
Rihk: ANTi
Kanye: TLOP
Bruno Mars: 24 Inch Midget
Solange: A Seat at the Table
Frank Ocean: Blonde
