Why are people formatting their entries? It can still look nice without don't so.
Yeah but some prefer to make it look a little more polished I guess. Besides, it can save space if you for example put a single cover and the explanation for the single next to each other instead of having the text below.
The year is 2010. Coming off of a successful re-debut era, Katy Perry is gearing up to release her new album, Teenage Dream.
Single #1: Pearl
Official single cover
The era officially kicks off with a performance of the lead single, “Pearl”, at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve 2009/10, ringing in the year 2010. The performance is a typical Perry performance, with little-to-no vocal control shown and over-the-top theatrics to try and hide her weakness. It is interrupted towards the end by a breaking news report, much to many viewers delight. This will be the only major performance of the song, although she does travel to several clubs to promote the dance mixes.
A still from the music video
In March, Perry releases the music video for “Pearl.” The video is simply the Dick Clark performance, breaking news interruption and all, dubbed over with the studio version of the song. The song peaks in the low 70s on the Billboard Hot 100 and fails to chart in the UK, but does become a significant hit in South Korea.
"Pearl is a poor single choice because the song does not have a strong hook at all, the production is lazy, and it feels very long with how meandering and uninteresting it is," said Clark Fisk from MTV. "On top of that, it is a terrible lead single choice because the point of a lead single is to get people interested in the album, and I don't think anyone would be excited to hear more after listening to this. This song screams 'FLOP'."
Single #2: Who Am I Living For?
Official single cover
In June, after several months with no new word on the album or new single, Katy releases the album’s second single, “Who Am I Living For?”. Though initially met with negative reception by the few people that listen to it, people start paying attention to the song after an article is published in the New York Times in July that alleges that the song was written about Perry’s initiation into the Illuminati.
After accidentally confirming that the Illuminati was indeed the inspiration behind the song, Katy immediately has to have the single pulled from radio and the Illuminati message-filled music video is scrapped. The song does not chart.
Clark Fisk of MTV offered his take on "Who Am I Living For?" as a single: "It's hard to think of a song that deserves to be a single less than this song. The hook is shouty but with no particular melody. It is not catchy at all and the lyrics are dark and vague, making the song unrelatable and useless for radio audiences."
Desperate to find some traction, Katy releases a single that features an extremely relevant rapper.
Single #3: The One That Got Away (feat. B.o.b)
Official single cover
“The One That Got Away (feat. B.o.b)” is released in July (a mere week and a half after the "Who Am I Living For?" fiasco). “Love The Way You Lie” is the current #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, so Katy hopes that the “emotional song by a pop star and a rapper” trend will work in her favor. She performs the song on the View and Family Feud, but when B.o.b isn’t able to attend either performance, she has to do his rap verse herself, which is met with poor reception.

The music video for the song is released in September and features Katy and B.o.b as animated cats. The music video is banned from YouTube and MTV because of the explicit animated cat sex scene between the cat version of Katy Perry and the cat version of B.o.b. However, it does find a significant audience on fetish porn websites worldwide, and the song becomes Katy’s second hit in South Korea. It reaches number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Clark Fisk from MTV had this to say on Katy's third single choice: "Even aside from the completely terrible, out of place, and unnecessary rap verse, this song does not deserve to be a single. In our current music climate, dominated by catchy dance songs and cute love songs, it would take endless remixes and discounts to make this song even a minor hit. It's too slow and the production is lazy."
In September, Katy releases Teenage Dream, the album. Critics and fans alike are disappointed with the album, especially with the inclusion of a dance remix for a song that was not on the album and two collaborations (“Starstrukk” with 3OH!3 and “If We Ever Meet Again” with Timbaland) that had already been released in the years prior. However, Katy begins a massive promo tour to promote the album, appearing on Live! With Regis and Kelly, the Today Show, Ellen, the View, and Chelsea Lately.
When the album is not successful, Katy takes to Twitter to vent her frustration. This gains her some media attention, as people begin anticipating her Britney Spears-style breakdown, but the attention does not help her sales. Katy goes on a court-induced media blackout, divorces Russell Brand, and gains significant weight.

Single #4: Not Like the Movies
Official single cover
After several months out of the news, Katy finally convinces her record label to let her release one final single before moving on to the next album. “Not Like the Movies” is sent to radio in May of 2011 and a music video is released that features Katy in old woman makeup doing a complicated dance routine to the song. It gets one live performance, on Channel 9 News in Little Rock, Arkansas, but this does not keep the song from becoming Katy’s fourth flop single.
A still from the music video, which was choreographed and directed by Lady Gaga
Ever the Katy Perry expert, Clark Fisk posted his analysis of the single choice: "Not Like the Movies is a great song but an awful single choice. It is too slow and not very catchy. Pretty, but unmemorable and without a strong hook, it doesn't stand a chance of success."
After losing considerable weight through questionable means, Katy shaves her head and poses for Playboy, which helps Teenage Dream re-enter the Top 200 with a new peak, #13. She begins her world tour for the album (which is just two concerts in South Korea), and then begins work on her next project: the Smurfs.
Though the Teenage Dream era was rough for Katy, she never gives up hope that she will one day become the Female MJ.

A Completely different genre to what her fans or following are used to from BEP.
Fergie decides to put this song out as the first single, but no matter how sexy or sultry Fergie tries to sound in the song, you can't help doze off. Which is why the song dozed off the charts ranking on #100 on the Bubbling Under charts.
Labels Or Love
Quote:
A Very Bubblegum type of disposable track. Although this follows the famous pop formula for success, Fergie must have went wrong somewhere in the calculation because this song fails to print an impression in your head, no matter how hard you try to let it sink in.
Here I Come
Quote:
In this song, Simple drum patterns play through bubbly, generic synthesizers which act only to pad the record out; snaps and claps are employed and occasionally Will.I.Am will come in shortly to provide vocals, that's about it.
Voodoo Doll
Quote:
Fergie released Voodoo doll, a mid-temp track with some reggae influence.
Not much of a bop, flopped on radio. People were begging for an uptempo dance track.
Especially with Party People hidden between the tracklist.

7. Rock Me In

9. Lace and Leather

Singles:
1. My Baby
Britney is an artist that is known specifically for her uptempos, with the exception of Everytime. Releasing a ballad (even an amazing one) would be a big risk...let alone releasing one of her worst and most cringeworthy ones. While the song came from a good place, considering it is obviously about Britney's sons, the final result wasn't impressive. The "I smell your breath, it makes me cry" line is particularly laughable. This song would be a complete era killer, and this is only single #1!
2. Blur
This song is the epitome of a boring midtempo that doesn't go anywhere. Plus t it is the low-rent knock off of Early Mornin' from the In The Zone album. After a ballad as a first single, this song would completely bomb! Also it was a disappointment to a lot of fans after finding out Danja produced it. He went from producing the majority of the amazing Blackout album to this on the Circus album.
3. Rock Me In
As a third single, Rock Me In would continue Britney's string of flops. Although it is finally an uptempo it is one of the worst uptempos on the album imo. It's pure cheese & bubblegum filler. I don't think that I've listened to it more than 5 times since 2008! It's completely forgettable and makes no impact on the listener which obviously means it would have no place being a single.
4. Mmm Papi
This song much like RMI is super forgettable. Not only that, at the time it was rumored that it was written about Adnan, Britney's paparazzi boyfriend from the Blackout era. That would of created bad press especially in the first era after her breakdown. It's a pretty strange song and isn't typical Britney and not in a good way. Wouldn't work at all as a single and tracks like this are why Circus was a downgrade overall from Blackout, every song on Blackout offered something fresh, experimental, and hot while Circus had many boring throwaways.

4. Cry
5. Push Up On Me
6. Question Existing
7. If I Never See Your Face Again
8. Say It
9. Haunted
10. Lemme Get That
First Single:"Say It"
To kick off Good Girl Gone Bad, the first single would be "Say It". In other words, the era would be starting off with a snooze. The song is almost universally agreed to be one of the weakest on the album. On top of that, it doesn't have a catchy hook, or anything to it that would grab the attention of listeners and show off Rihanna's newly found "bad" side.
Second Single:"Haunted"
Next would be Rihanna's somber ballad that used to be a bonus track in some countries, "Haunted". What better to follow up the massive amount of momentum created by "Say It" than slowing things down even more with "Haunted"? The song just isn't grabbing, and is completely not single worthy.
Third Single:"Question Existing"
Following "Say It" and "Haunted" would be Rihanna's self-questioning and reflective ballad, "Question Existing". The song may have a bit more appeal to it than the previous two singles, but after two slow songs, people would probably lose interest in the era when a third one comes along. Not to mention the bridge, in which Rihanna writes to her "diary" and talks to herself, is not fit for radio at all.
Fourth Single:"Cry"
The fourth and final single to this exciting and bad-ass era by Rihanna would be her former international bonus track, "Cry". Yes, it's just as slow and dull as the previous singles and wouldn't fare well on radio. That's if listeners weren't already asleep after "Say It", "Haunted", and "Question Existing". But best of all, having "Cry" closing this era out would create irony once Rated R drops... once people go back to listen to it and hear the line "felt like I was just a victim" in the chorus.
Killer Queen - Beyonce - I Am... Sasha Fierce Era
Tracklist
1. Video Phone
2. Honesty
3. Diva
4. Ave Maria
5. Hello
6. Ego (ft. Kanye West)
7. Save The Hero
8. Why Don't You Love Me
9. Poison
10. Satellites
The first single starts of with Bey releasing Video Phone. The worst song on the album. The song is over sparse and eerie beats and she delivers innuendo-laced lyrics. There is very little actual musical value to the song and this is why fans would be left very disappointed if released as a first single from the album. Diva would be the second single released from I Am...Sasha Fierce. Diva is a song that is awkward & horribly dated. Beyonce tries to take on a persona as being a badass and being a female companion to "A Milli. The song is glitchy with bass-heavy thumper with the most ridiculous chorus which is why it would be a terrible choice as a single.Honesty would be the third single. Why this would be chosen as the third single because it is basically a bland, boring ballad that doesn't add anything to the original version by Billy Joel. The song doesn't add to much to the record and really wouldn't add much if released as single. The song wouldn't have any chart impact due to the time the album was released where ballads weren't the focal point of the music industry. Ego (ft. Kanye West) This may be a surprise, but this is the 4th and final single. Kanye doesn't add anything to the song, and his parts of the song is just pointless and just ruins the song as a whole for Beyonce. His verse is just too long and unnecessary. It's why it's perfect as a single if it was to make the era worse. Releasing the crappy version of a song rather than the better original version. It's just fitting that she put Kanye West on the track because well we all know what his Ego is like.
potentbreakupsong - Ke$ha - Animal Era
KE$HA - ANIMAL
Cover:
Explanation: I had trouble finding a fanmade cover that I would classify to be bad, so I took my least favorite and used some minor photo editing to make it look unattractive and clashing.
Singles:
Single #1: VIP. There’s a reason this was only a bonus track. In terms of appealing to mainstream audiences, I believe this is the worst track from the entire Animal/Cannibal era. A new artist wants to impress and catch attention with their debut single, which is exactly what VIP fails to do. The song sounds very lazy both musically and lyrically, and there is no catchy hook or melody whatsoever to be found. In a time when dance-pop was at its peak and a catchy melody (or lack thereof) could either make or break a song, something like VIP would be largely ignored by mainstream audiences, which is why I chose to release it first.
Single #2: Stephen. I think it’s a bad move to release a second single with a different sound than the first one, because an artist like Ke$ha who gets most of her support from pop radio would want to establish herself in the dance-pop genre before straying away to something like a ballad. Stephen indeed has a very different sound; it’s slower and more experimental, even containing some country influences like the harmonies in the beginning. I also chose it because in my opinion, it’s the worst ballad from the Animal/Cannibal era; its attempts to sound vulnerable are offset by the humorous lyrics, and overall it sounds a little awkward and silly.
Single #3: Boots and Boys. This is definitely a filler track that was never intended to be a single. It’s an upbeat song dominated by Ke$ha’s signature sing-talking drawl, similar to VIP, and musically, it suffers from a lot of VIP’s same problems. It’s just very uninteresting. It lacks the explosive chorus and catchy hook that Ke$ha always relies on for her hits, and it seems like very little effort was put into the writing and production of the song.
Single #4: C U Next Tuesday. In my opinion, another bad move is to end the era on a ballad/slower song unless it leaves a huge impression. C U Next Tuesday certainly does not leave any type of impression. The general public usually appreciates ballads that are vulnerable and emotional, while this is heavily sugarcoated and sounds safe and generic. It’s like a watered-down version of The Harold Song or Dancing With Tears in My Eyes.
Tracklist:
1. VIP [Single #1]
2. Stephen [Single #2]
3. Grow a Pear
4. Hungover
5. Cannibal
6. Animal (Billboard Remix)
7. Boots & Boys [Single #3]
8. C U Next Tuesday [Single #4]
9. Dinosaur
10. Backstabber
Explanation: 10 tracks. I deleted all six original singles because I believe they were strong choices, along with various other standout tracks. I alternated the remaining songs so that no two songs with a similar sound ended up next to each other, which creates a lack of cohesiveness within the album.
Singles. 1-Dear Old Nicki
everyone expected to have a big and very radio friendly song, but this song just came out making a big surprise a ballad that may boring us because its a calm one, something we are not used to nicki. So we may be a little dissapointed but we should see what is next.
2-Stupid Hoe
then the worst song ever released from nicki, which really dissapointed us to the point that no one will buy the CD. The start of her worst era ever.
3-Beautiful Sinner
after the disastrous songs she released and the album flopping so hard, she tries to recover some of her old style and trying to hit the radio pop, but people really didnt care about listening to this, after her old songs and this flopped again
4-Sex in the lounge
to finish this disastrous era,she releases a collaboration to see if this can help, but this sounds like a song from Lil Wayne and Bobby V not from nicki she just seems like a backup singer so anyone cared to listen her anymore because she now is a flop.

6. The Best Day
7. White Horse

9. Our Song
10. Teardrops on My Guitar
11. Should've Said No
What made Fearless a great hit was the success of its multi-format smash singles, such as Love Story and You Belong With Me. So in order to insure this re-working of the album flops, I took away as much pop appeal as possible. I basically tried to make this album as boring and bland as possible by including mainly ballads and mid-tempos (not applicable to the tracks taken from her first album, which were included on the international version of Fearless). The inclusion of older songs in this track list make this version of the album less than 75% original material. They were previous singles for Taylor's first album, so they would highly unlikely be used again to promote Fearless.
Singles
1. The Best Day - This song was always my least favorite song off the original standard version. The song is just really boring. The chorus does nothing; the song basically stays in one place for its entire duration.
2. Forever & Always (Piano Version) - I love the original, but this version is BORING. The song is speculated to be about Joe Jonas, who was very popular with the Jonas Brothers at that time, so the original version could have potentially smashed on pop and country radio because of buzz, but this version is too boring to make any sort of impact.
3. Come in with the Rain - Another yawner. The song has no elements that would otherwise make it special.
4. White Horse - This song is quite good, but it is too late to save the era after three dull singles. Releasing another slow song wouldn't help its chances of becoming a hit for the album.

06. The Fame
07. Love Game
08. Speechless
09. Just Dance
10. Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)
11. Beautiful Dirty Rich
Single #1 - Teeth
What better a way to start off such a messy era than with Gaga's less-than-iconic song "Teeth"? While 4 out of 5 dentists would recommend Teeth, everyone else wouldn't. This messy almost four minute song about Gaga wanting to see our teeth would flop on the charts and the general public would find themselves confused listening to it.
Single #2 - Eh, Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say)
I mean, this bubblegum pop song about love is even too cheery for the happiest of people. All of the "eh's" and obnoxious instrumental are sure to rub people the wrong way. There's nothing else I can say about this really... it's a sure flop.
Single #3 - Boys Boys Boys
This song, even dated for 2008, might catch on among her hardcore stans, but other than that I can't imagine it would exactly soar up the charts. The amateur lyrics and obnoxious chorus are a sure concoction that would annoy all listeners from the radio to the internet.
Single #4 - Brown Eyes
Everyone loves a good ballad every once in a while, right? Well, that's not what you're going to find here. Brown Eyes is a slow, drab, and uninteresting song that puts you to sleep until the whiny chorus kicks in, and then you'll just want to plug your ears.
Lippy - Christina Aguilera Stripped
Tracklist:
1. Stripped Pt. 2

6. Primer Amor Interlude
7. Cruz
8. Make Over
9. Underappreciated
10. Impossible
11. Loving Me 4 Me
Singles:
1. Loves Embrace Interlude
It is the bad choice for the lead single, because it is only 46 seconds long.
2. Primer Amor Interlude
This one is 7 seconds longer, but still too short and in Spanish. She doesn't even sing in it.
3. Stripped Pt. 2
People would be sick of her releasing short songs and this would be another one.
4. Stripped Intro
It is a bad choice because it is almost the same as the previous single.
Kavish - P!nk - The Truth About Love Era

Tracklist:
1. Here Comes The Weekend (featuring Eminem)
2. How Come You're Not Here
3. Is This Thing On?
4. Walk of Shame
5. The King Is Dead But The Queen Is Alive
6. Good Old Days
7. **** Like You
8. Where Did The Beat Go?
9. Timebomb
10. True Love (featuring Lily Allen)
Single 1: Where Did The Beat Go?
Where Did The Beat Go? sounds like P!nk's old materials, and releasing it as a first single is not a very wise choice. While her old sounds are great, putting the same style out will only hurt her because the generation has shifted musically. In 2012, there has been an abundance of electronic music which seems to have modernized the whole music industry. Releasing something that sounds dated will only make it unappreciated in this youthful music ground. Besides, the song itself is not strong enough to be a big hit, or something that reflects the album as a whole.
Single 2: Here Comes The Weekend (featuring Eminem)
Here Comes The Weekend will not be a great choice, either. For one, it is the least liked song from the album by P!nk's fan base and I don't think even Eminem can save the song, which is really lackluster in both the lyrics and the production. His verse does not fit with the whole song, and is even disappointing coming from Eminem, who is known for his fun and witty lyrics, which he somehow failed to make stand out on this song. The song itself is more of an annoying sound rather than catchy, and may not grasp the attention of the attention of listeners that much.
Single 3: The King Is Dead But The Queen Is Alive
The King Is Dead But The Queen Is Alive is on the bonus track of the original edition for a reason. The song is nothing special, since it is both lyric-wise and sound-wise the same stuff that P!nk is used to. The slow, mid-tempo verses and the blasting, loud choruses - which she somehow likes to adopt for her songs (see Blow Me (One Last Kiss), for another example) may not work for this song as it is not that appealing and catchy. The song being edgy may be a bit too on the pop-rock side for regular Pop fans, and after releasing two upbeat singles, a ballad would have been better.
Single 4: **** Like You
**** Like You is a fan favorite and can be perceived as the Marry The Night of this era. By releasing the song NOW, it is obvious that the hype of the song has already died and will only be anticipated by her fans. The song bearing swearing words as well may not help it gain much airplay as not many radio stations will be willing to play the song. And even if they do, there will be a lot of unpleasant beeps. If her label really wanted this song as a single, it should have at least been the first one, even though it would have been risky. But seeing the disorganization of the single choices, there is no way this song could smash as a fourth single, and that totally ruined her chances of having a hit this era.

I thought placing one of Born To Die's most successful track as a bonus track (and not a single) would help add insult to injury to the already now bad album. The album's only hope of success ends up being a bonus track... in Japan.
Quote:
Originally posted by Kitt
Born To Die (now a fitting title), filtered to a body of work consisting of 10 tracks of nothing but awkward lyrics and "daddy" songs that are pack filled with every 50s⁄60s reference there is. Paired with Lana's natural tendency to lack promotion and steer away from the limelight, a more disjointed tracklist with the lack of it's standout tracks would be sure her desire stays true.
The Singles
1st single — Yayo released: late December 2011
Albeit the demo version being a fan favorite, Yayo's reworked version is just generally bad. Yayo also isn't exactly ones standard first single, at least sonically. And vocally, I strongly feel it's just an awkward mess.
2nd single — Million Dollar Man released: late February 2012
Following in Yayo's footsteps to remain sonically depressive, Million Dollar Man becomes the second single. A universally agreed upon dull and boring track amongst even fans, Million Dollar Man fails to shine out of the pack of 'daddy' songs under her belt that even touch the subject better.
3rd single — Dark Paradise released: early May 2012
Starting off the summer with a bit more of an upbeat choice in comparison to the previous singles, yet clashing with lyrics such as "Your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine, but I wish I was dead" being chanted throughout the song — Dark Paradise, indeed. Note the theme being the polar opposite of the usual 'finding and celebrating a summer love' topic the season tends to bring as well.
4th single — Bel Air released: late July 2012
Concluding the era and the summer, with yet another semi-depressive tune. Even if you've fallen in love with some hidden gems in the album, let's hope you feel your summer was a bit cheated with such anti-summer, anti-happy, depressive and hopeless singles.
Tracklist Notes
'Cola' as the opening track to set the tone and kickstart the record with it's infamous opening line "My ***** tastes like Pepsi Cola"(just for awkward's sake) and "I gots a taste for men who're older ⁄ It's always been, so it's no surprise" to forwardly set the theme. 'Lolita' being the following track to hopefully give a bad taste in ones mouth after imagining Cola flavored vag to now thinking about little lolitas. 'Yayo' comes in as the third track and lead single, but a bit out of place being sandwiched between the upbeat 'Lolita' and springy 'Lucky Ones'. Refraining from including the original Born To Die's successful standout or fan favorite tracks, reverse Born To Die becomes a conjunction of it's overlooked, fan hated, and second-hand embarrassment inducing tracks. Although in that way, the era is consistent but still manages to find loopholes to maintain clashes and disjunction at times.
tatu including songs from a completely different album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is not a re-release and I hope it's not counted as such.
Lippy, the album cover I chuckled but TOO MUCH.
DFY, that cover you chose my favorite "bad" cover of the bunch.
Kitt's flawless entry (except the inclusion of Dark Paradise ) "My ***** tastes like Pepsi Cola" being the opening line of the album & "Born To Die (now a fitting title)" biiiiiiiitch
Stevie Take a Bow? and I actually like that cover
Monk, clever to use the international bonus tracks/songs from her previous album
I feel like the Monsters would eat that cover up, Scene but then again there's not much they wouldn't. Boys, Boys, Boys was an odd choice imo, but I love that song so I'm probs biased.
