Rihanna is a huge force on VEVO, but to be honest i feel like she should be having a bigger lead on Katy and Taylor taking into account she released 4 (5 if you count Goodnight Gotham) music videos this year and another 3 in 2015
She even lost her lead if you look at the past week and all channels.
Reminder that Knee is in the middle of a heavily promoted era but Xtina's Dirrty is above Make Me on iTunes (Knee's only song charting in the top 1500)
Chubbi XXL doesn't have a patch on Marina Good on her for throwing literally everything at the wall and hoping something sticks though, maybe this time it will!
I was surprised to see the mixed reception for this one... and then I wasn't.
Further proof of a deep generational chasm that divides ATRL into two camps; the twentysomething pop sophisticates with 15 to 20 years of top-shelf pop consumption to their name, and an unruly kid crew with Scream Queens avatars and tributes to Nick Jonas in their signatures. It's not that the latter generation is a lost cause entirely, but they've clearly never heard a "Britney" — that is, they've never encountered a voice quite as distinctive as Britney's. "But I know Britney! Circus was the first album I bought!" First off, ask for a refund. And no, you don't know Britney, you know a very stilted and subdued version of the iconic performer.
The Britney of "Private Show" is Britney as Britney is intended to sound. She very skillfully vacillates between a range of tones; she nasally, then guttural, then grainy, then nasally again, then delicate. (And yes, that's how she's supposed to do it.) She's sultry. She's goofy. She's sounds slightly absurd. She's fully engaged. She's expressive in ways that "technically superior" vocalists just aren't. She is brilliant. You have no idea how brilliant she is.
This is the probably purest attempt Britney has made to harness some of that ineffable charm that made her early work so irresistible. I adore it.
