IF the video is good, the song could easily leap into the Top 10 of the Hot 100. It is an Urban #1 after all.

She needs a new single to re-catalyze the era, though. I don't see the album dropped till November now so she has time. And if she does a surprise release....it's over for her. lol. The Beyonce v Rihanna argument will never happen again.

Why? It's not like Rihanna's manager isn't Beyonce's husband

Plus one of the surprise releases will contain a WW hit. It's not Beyoncé's

Forgot how AWFUL Starships was until tonight. She really turned her image around from what I would consider a pretty bad 2012, at least for her image. The only plus of the RR era at all was its global success.

Starships is a fun song lol. I mean, it's obviously generic as hell but it was fun for the clubs that summer. And it sold over 4.5 million copies, which is a huge feat so it's hard to say she shouldn't have done it.

Apple Music will pretty much kill digital downloads if it's a success.

Do we think Apple Music is gonna be an immediate smash or will it slowly grow?

I wonder if we'll see digital sales literally tank like 50% in the first week.

I think it'll surpass Spotify on the first day. But it'll be difficult to say what that means since subscribers won't actually be paying for Apple Music during the free period.

It's either gonna blow up instantly or flop. 3 month free trial, if they can't blow up with that, then the future isn't looking bright.

And remember when Beats Music & TIDAL were suppose to be 'growers'.

Taylor's kinda a hypocrite though. Apple Music is paying much less than Spotify these 3 months, but ofcourse, she makes so many comments, she had to force herself to make less money those 3 months by following up on her comment of saying they should pay.

LOL no. The song was released in April. It's almost July. Nobody cares about Rihanna anymore.

Just when I thought I couldn't love Gigi Hadid even more I found out her pop idol is Britney. Your poor untalented faves!

It is very fun, I'll give it that. I mainly enjoy it if I'm letting loose with friends or something. We joked about how dumb the lyrics were a lot, lol, but sang along nonetheless.

I guess I just compare it to Super Bass a lot, which is infinitely better. SB is one of my favorite pop hits of the last 5 years - total pop perfection.

I'm kind of shocked by how big SS was - in that sense, I agree the era wasn't a mistake - I just kind of look back at it and cringe. She was such a mess at the time and seems so much more put together now. That album as a whole was pretty bad outside of Beez.

She's so dumb for that

She should've just agreed to put her pre-1989 discography and find some excuse to hold off on putting 1989 there.

Whip It is Nicki's best pop song, next to TNISY.

Will it count towards the Hot 100 during the free trial? It doesn't seem fair for it to count until people are actually paying. I know they only count the paying subscribers to Spotify and the other companies.

Her ass is fake, her boobs are fake, she lied about her age, she put out a Nazi video, she dressed up as and acted like whoever was popular at the time, she had an E! reality TV show, she had an embarrassing fake feud with Mariah Cary on American Idol, she did a song with Bieber and rhymed something with "Selener," she has a crappy flop Dr Luke pop single out right now...Starships is the least of her worries when it comes to cringe. At least it was a hit.

I don't really enjoy any of the pop songs from RR anymore, honestly. Literally the only song I still listen to from that record period is Beez.
