What albums will 1989 be facing in Fall Pop Madness 2k14? Were any other albums even released this fall?
And did anyone ever decide what's being done with Sam Smith?

Have any other 2014 releases been used?

LMAO, depending on the reviews/Pazz and Jop, we MAY be seeing Tay Tay in This WAS 2014!

Speaking of, who's doing TW2007 Part 2 with Miranda and dem? I want to get my STAN on.

Although, if these doesn't happen, I would not be opposed to creating a rate of four 2014 that have dominated ATRL's consensus Ultraviolence, My Everything, Aquarius and 1989.

I still think we should do "When Pop Stars Grow Up: Britney vs. Justified vs. 1989 vs. ???"

[Vespertine]

Hi someone come up with two other (great) singer-songwriter albums with monochrome covers Maybe all from different decades to keep it spicy.

Yes, for the major young pop stars who decided to assert their arrival to musical adulthood with a new sound.

Wait, Tracy Chapman fits the criteria perfectly, but I must admit I only really know Fast Car from it I should totally listen soon, because I think it would be right up my alley.

My other thought was Vespertine, if it hasn't been used in any rates yet.

Just look at that prettiness All monochrome covers centered on the singer-songwriter, each album representing a different decade and a different style of artistry. It's already the best rate ever.


Miseducation definitely counts too though (in terms of the cover, singer-songwriter, and greatness), I will keep that in mind. I just had a thing for doing one album per decade though, and was already stuck on When The Pawn...

Revisited:

The xx: Coexist
Kendrick Lamar: good kid, m.A.A.d city
Sleigh Bells: Reign of Terror
Grizzly Bear: Shields
Tame Impala: Lonerism
Beach House: Bloom

What about this, Ace?

Looks sexy. I don't think the girls are ready for Eleanor LeGrand and them to mollywop their faves.

This Was 2010 continues to be neglected.

Ace -- what about a rate of some of the hugest debut singles the past 15 years from some of the most relevant artists through the timeframe? 100 songs. A quick selection of examples.

Rihanna - Pon de Replay
Beyoncè - Crazy In Love
Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl
Lady Gaga - Just Dance
Britney Spears - …Baby One More Time
Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass
Ciara - Goodies
Ashanti - Foolish
Jennifer Lopez - If You Had My Love
Kelly Clarkson - A Moment Like This
Carrie Underwood - Inside Your Heaven
Fergie - London Bridge
Ke$ha - Tik Tok
Lorde - Royals


Justin Bieber - One Time
Maroon 5 - Harder to Breathe
Chris Brown - Run It!
Justin Timberlake - Like I Love You
Pharrell Williams - Frontin'
One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful
Bruno Mars - Just the Way You Are

I'll let you breathe for now, but I'll bug you about this again in 2015.

Could I get a rate idea approved which I can sit on?

Basically, it's called the Better Late Than Never Rate and would include albums which were excessively delayed.

I'm thinking Cher Lloyd's Sorry I'm Late, Azealia Banks' Broke With Expensive Taste whenever it comes out, and Iggy Azalea's The New Classic. All of them were excessively late, of course, all of them are female artists, all of them were released within the space of a year, presuming Azealia delivers on BWET being released in January, and all of them market themselves as having an urban edge, although some clearly more than others.

I'm not asking to do it now (obviously) but it'd be nice to have the idea approved so I could do it at some point next year
