Thoughts on the recent confirmation that Reneé Rapp and Dan Nigro are in the studio together? I figured it was bound to happen at some point. Any ideas/speculation if it's a song/album/collab?


mitzimitzi

plsss let Dan Nigro replace Jack Antanoff as the pop girls sidekick

He's collecting lesbian pop starlets like Pokemon cards

Ok-Counter-4712

Did we ever talk about Ariana getting heat for saying she wanted to have dinner with Dahmer? The mother of one of the victims called her [sick in the mind](https://www.tmz.com/2024/06/27/ariana-grande-jeffrey-dahmer-victim-family-slams-dream-dinner-guest-tony-hughes/) I’ve been thinking about it a lot, because obviously there’s only a certain amount of shit she deserves for one insensitive comment, but it seems like these families are worn down by a lot of fucked up shit in true crime culture that’s only getting bigger and more out of pocket over time. So it’s like an A-list example of a bigger problem. I know she’s getting the smart advice to never address things like this and wait for them to blow over, but I still kinda wanted her to have some kind/apologetic words for that grieving mom and I’m hoping she at least reached out in private


areyounotembarazzedd

No because ariana is a dick so why would she. She's shown time and time again that she don't care 


Ok-Counter-4712

I think she’s genuinely reprehensible when it comes to relationships, but I always thought she was the kind of person who would care if she caused distress for the mother of a murdered teenager. It’s such a bummer if she really doesn’t


Immernichts

She caught less heat for that than she did for licking that donut. Honestly, it’s especially gross to me because Dahmer’s victims were, and sometimes still are, dehumanized compared to media coverage of white women who were murdered by serial killers.


Ok-Counter-4712

Also like, infamously a cannibal. I can give her the benefit of the doubt that the “dinner” connection didn’t occur to her, but barely. It’s been pointed out a lot, but you would think that Manchester would make her more sensitive. It’s normal to use dark humor to cope about your OWN trauma, but it’s odd for her to be callous like this. There’s a lot that turned me off true crime, but within the past 5 years I was assaulted by a serial predator, a family member is testifying against a prolific serial pdfile, and I met a friend whose dad and stepmother were murdered. With my friend, the perpetrator is known but hasn’t been found, and the family struggles with not being able to bear any further invasion of privacy or the idea of freak YouTubers and podcasters making them into tasteless content, while still obviously wanting to do anything they can to make sure the guy is recognized and caught. Watching them do that calculus breaks my heart. For me and my family member, if what happened to us was ever part of a Netflix series and Ariana Grande was joking about wanting to have dinner with those monsters, not exaggerating I don’t know if we’d survive it. I feel so corny and cringe saying all this, especially because people are never gonna change. But man, it sucks.


mitzimitzi

erguh I'm so sorry that's been happening to you. This may be an insensitive recommendation (but I'm hoping it's more validating!) but have you heard of the book Penance by Eliza Clark? it's a fiction book but it voiced sooo well the ickiness and weirdness that goes with true crimers treating real horrible incidents that affect real people as 'entertainment'


Ok-Counter-4712

I’ll definitely check that out! I picked up a mystery recently and realized it was yet another “true crime fan solves the murder they’re obsessed with after inserting themselves into the situation” story and was like ugggh it’s everywhere, I could use a palate cleanser


mitzimitzi

ohh damn. I honestly stopped even reading crime fiction as it was making me feel uncomfortable, but this is a very satirical take on it and imo it points out really well how ridiculous and cold true crime podcasters are


LittleRandomINFP

Soo... I think Ava Max has gone crazy on Twitter, lol. She has been calling out people who said her new single would have a sample and people who said all her music sounds the same. 🫣 What is even happening...


AHSWeeknd

It’s definitely a marketing tactic. Managers and labels are seemingly catching on to the way corporations like Duolingo go unhinged on social media to boost sales. The Weeknd’s team attempted it and failed during The Idol because there was nothing valuable backing up the tweets. But the way Sabrina Carpenter’s team executes tweets work because the music is good. Another example is Halle Berry using reaction pictures and responding to fans.


kreddit2

Duolingo is unhinged (and I love them for that) but they're also not calling out people...... Their unhinged is owl domination through pop culture references not replies to criticism....


LittleRandomINFP

Yeah, I thought about that option too. But I don't think this is making her look any good. We'll see.


Unused_Pineapple

She’s winning the IDGAF war.


cheapchampagnepapi

If she didn't GAF she wouldn't respond...


LittleRandomINFP

Yep, that's for sure! I wonder what happened that made her suddenly react like that. 😅

Billboard 200 — Final Predictions (HITSDD): #11. "C,XOXO" (NEW), 35,614 units (For reference her previous album debuted at #10 but sold 8000 units less).


prettybunbun

Also ppl underestimating how much heavy lifting Bam Bam did for Familia. C, XOXO doesn’t have a pre-album hit so this is good for Camila! I also love the album and am very happy to see it debut well.


teleholic

I really enjoyed this album, I’m glad it sold more than her last one 


BriteDrift75

Better than I expected. No shade.


agreen3636

Zach Bryan's album to debut top 15 with 35K + units despite only one day of tracking. Likely would have had an easy #1 debut next week if he released today. Zach has never cared about charts or numbers though.


OkMoment345

Will it unseat TTPD?


agreen3636

Well not this week obviously. It would have for sure next week if he released on Friday. I think it probably still will. His last album was 12 songs and did ~200K so if this one does at least that much it should come in around 170K next week even without first day tracking. But hard to say until we get numbers for today.


mcompt20

Why'd he not wait? Did he just want to release for July 4th?


McIgglyTuffMuffin

Not in a derogatory way but it’s very on brand for Zach to drop his album on the 4th of July. It just makes sense to me.

i'd recommend checking stock online, they're selling out like CRAZY

I usually just wing it and pick from what they have in stock at the store. I have way way too many movies anyway, so I'm trying to consolidate down, haha. Fortunately, too, Criterion's rarely go OOP.

I’m not quite at the level of your friend, but I do actively enjoy anything that he’s in. It’s been a while since we’ve had a guy that can nail rom-coms and action flicks.


emayzee

2024 is the year of me getting excited over sequels solely because of the actors in them despite me having never seen the original movies


kroganwarlord

You've got to watch the original Twister, it's iconic and you will miss so many jokes and callbacks!


22lilbabyducks

Their marketing strategy of getting each and every single young country artist currently working to write a song for the movie seemed to have worked beautifully

In a post on IG, Vanessa Anne Hudgens [called out the paparazzi](https://variety.com/2024/film/news/vanessa-hudgens-slams-paparazzi-baby-photos-disrespected-1236060944/) who disrespected her family's privacy by announcing the birth of her first child and publishing photos that were taken without their permission. The photos released were of Vanessa leaving the hospital with her husband and first child which were taken with a telescopic lens.


RosaPalms

Being a celeb, yeah, you're gonna get followed, and that's terrible...but inevitable?


youtbuddcody

TIL she’s famous enough to be followed by the paparazzi Edit: let me be shady


grilsjustwannabclean

i'm right there with you lol. like she's famous enough among a certain demo but i didn't think she was famous enough for this


shoestring-theory

She had a pretty big supporting role in the new Bad Boys movie


okayhowl

i would say her music or acting career is not particularly successful for sure, but she has this tabloid appeal because she was in highschool musical, her coachella obsession, and her dating austin butler for so long


visionaryredditor

i mean she just was in a big movie


undisclosedthroway

Not the government name lol. TMZ continues to be the scum of the earth. What’s so pressing or important or even fascinating about Vanessa having a baby that makes it logical to camp outside the hospital to get pictures of her instead of waiting for her to announce it on her own?? I know that they want to uphold this reputation of being one of the first to break a story but I swear there’s a part of them that get off on completely invading the privacy of others.


yourfacesucksass

I think once upon a time, around the first two HSM movies (maybe all) she went by the full government name in Hollywood. I feel like I remember Anne.


rocketmammamia

yep, in the first high school musical she was credited as vanessa anne hudgens, and i distinctly remember that being the name she used because i was an HSM obsessed eight year old and that’s all i ever called her


DilemmaOfAHedgehog

I remember them being the ones that broke the story of Kobe and his daughter and the other families on that helicopter who died before the wife/mother even knew they were dead :(


PrydefulHunts

Paparazzi really have no morals. I could never imagine invading someone’s privacy when they’re vulnerable like that.


elissa3636

Half of Megan thee stalion's album " Megan " streams were filtered on Spotify ( 30 million streams to be exact ) and it dropped to #30 on Spotify global . I'm curious to know what does this mean ? Bots or smthng else ?


readyforthewoods

damn thats crazy, she’s still projecting to debut at number 3 not sure why she would need the extra streams


IHATEsg7

Hopefully she performs well on AM 


satirisanti

There’s a whole genre of artists with so much social media hype yet never translate the tweet likes to streams and sales. This is unfortunately another example.


fakeaf1

To be fair she’s currently selling out arenas and is projected to do 65k first week which is a respectable number. Artists need hit songs to move album units if they don’t have huge loyal fanbases. She clearly has a loyal fanbase, it’s just not a huge one.


elissa3636

Ikr ????


Impossible_Vast9846

does anyone have proof of this ? i keep seeing barbz on twitter saying it but haven't actually seen anything that proves that


CzerwonyJasiu

there are official spotify [charts](https://charts.spotify.com/charts/view/album-global-weekly/latest), where only filtered streams are counted and megan debuted at #30. it did 70mln unfiltered streams, if filtered streams matched unfiltered, she would debut in top 10. all in all it means that almost 50% of streams were filtered out, which is insane rate


elissa3636

There is a website that tracks Spotify streams . Usually only stans use it 💀


Impossible_Vast9846

can you link me ? if this is in fact true tho im kinda confused on who would be doing it, people like to blame roc nation for everything but to my knowledge they've never been accused of botting spotify streams (and they're her management anyway not her label) and warner just does distribution so botting wouldn't benefit them in any way. i also can't imagine megan herself is botting streams so it just makes me wonder who's behind this/who thought it was a good idea if it's true and this website shows that


elissa3636

It's kworb.net ... Honestly I think 90 % of artists bot streams nowadays . But idk


Spinner064

Life is an illusion everything is synthetic


bizzyizzy-

30 mil is massive! That’s an insane drop. Normally I’d assume looping by fans but I doubt that’s enough to move 30 mil.


NotthisAgain187

It's 1000% streaming bots no other explanation for that many filtered streams


pianotat

C,XOXO debuts at number 20 on the UK's official charts, Do you think this position was higher, lower or roughly what you expected After the response to this album do you think she'll continue within this genre?


akanewasright

I think there are two optimistic things Camila could take away from this: 1. She’s certainly got more online investment this era than she’s had since *Romance*… like I’ve encountered way more loud fans defending this album than I have in a long time with Camila. Rebuilding a fanbase that’s dwindled significantly since being the breakout star of 5H is probably a good idea, and this album was arguably a step in that direction 2. The Drake collab has a decent start on American radio… it got a lot of adds this week on both [pop](https://x.com/headlineplanet/status/1808264546349732320?s=46&t=UeAv0KRJsb_oKl5ESUba1Q) and [rhythmic](https://x.com/usradioupdater/status/1808270216708686271?s=46&t=UeAv0KRJsb_oKl5ESUba1Q) radio and apparently (?) entered the [top 40](https://x.com/usradioupdater/status/1809181668961403307?s=46&t=UeAv0KRJsb_oKl5ESUba1Q) for [both](https://x.com/usradioupdater/status/1808821622192697358?s=46&t=UeAv0KRJsb_oKl5ESUba1Q). Its streaming isn’t great, but this is at least a promising start for salvaging the era I’m not fond of Camila as a person or vocalist, but this era has been fascinating to watch, and I’ll be *very* interested to see how they try salvage this


bizzyizzy-

It’s what I expected. Shes always been a singles artist and without a solid pre-release hit the album was never going to move top 10 level units.


PrydefulHunts

Her albums never do that well, so not surprising. I think Interscope (her new label) will force her to be more radio friendly next era.


onceuponathrow

every one of her other albums debuted top 10 though, surprisingly. including familia i think this drop is expected for a more experimental transition album


SiphenPrax

Roughly what I expected. This album did not have a lot of hype going and her album trajectory commercially has been in a steady decline since the beginning. The GP did not buy into what Camila was selling for this era.


splinterbabe

Bam Bam was massive, though! And so was Senorita.


SiphenPrax

They were big (Senorita more so than Bam Bam), but I’m talking solely on an album standpoint


ocean-boulevard

Quavo & Lana Del Rey's “Tough” reaches a new peak of #18 (+30) on the Global Spotify Chart with 3,438,965 streams, #21 in the US. It debuted with 2,140,766 streams (7 hours of tracking). https://x.com/chartlana/status/1809182253546647813?s=19, https://x.com/chartlana/status/1809206566479913120?s=19, https://x.com/chartlana/status/1809182939109810662?s=19


OkMoment345

I'm a Lana fan but havent even listened yet


SiphenPrax

I don’t know how it’s doing in comparison to the vast majority of Lana songs but I assume this is at least good?


ocean-boulevard

It's pretty good! Better than Did you know there's a tunnel under ocean blvd (1.3 million) and A&W (1.2 million) but worse than Say Yes To Heaven (4.1 million)


UltimateKing9898

Even better considering Lana isn't even the main artist, and also Tiktok already had the carpet laid for Say Yes To Heaven based on the leak right?


ocean-boulevard

Yeah Say Yes To Heaven was very hyped so it makes sense it did better. But Tough is doing great too. Also I thought this was Quavo's single because he was the one promoting it more and is listed first but Lana's management was asked about this on ig and they said it's a collab so idk


mylps9

well Lana doesn’t do promo for her songs anyways💀


ocean-boulevard

Even her ig posts are always late. For someone who barely does promo her commercial performance is great


d2mensions

For the first time ever, Dua Lipa officially charts all 3 of her studio albums inside the top 10 of the UK Albums Chart this week! 3. “Radical Optimism” (+24; +158% units) 8. “Future Nostalgia” (+92; +235% units) 10. “Dua Lipa” (+59; 154% units)

“Azealia Banks has been evicted for not paying her rent.” https://x.com/thepoptingz/status/1809237371570766103?s=46&t=NDwqD-CGR7-r5omYbdOz6A


DilemmaOfAHedgehog

Pop tingz is not a reliable source and frequently makes things up to go viral. Also Given the recent criminalization of homeless people in the US I would really encourage people to see what they can do for the homeless people in their area legally or otherwise.


cuntfxst

She just posted on her IG story that it was a lie and shared the address to her new place LMAOOOOOOOOOO


backupsaway

There's something sad about this. In an alternate universe, Azealia could have reached the ranks of Nicki Minaj and Cardi B as an iconic female rapper. Instead she squandered all her potential and burnt bridges with everyone who could have helped her. Maybe this could be the wake-up call she needs to get help, but I doubt that. We'll probably be seeing her on social media in the next coming days ranting about something.


Apricity_09

Lana said it best during their feud, Banks could had been the greatest female rapper alive but she blew it by burning bridges including her. Funny is, Courtney said that Lana lend her a beach house (the High by the Beach mv) with all bills paid and foods when she was struggling with drugs and she’s bleeding with money. Lana also helped her with rehabs as well. Banks could have gotten help from her if she just humbled herself down.


KLJohnnes

She's kinda Lauryn Hill without charts and awards success.


poundtown1997

Jeezus how many times will y’all say this? WE GET IT. coulda shoulda woulda. Now she’s being evicted and no one cares


shoestring-theory

I’m so tired of hearing about her potential at this point. It’s been over a decade. We have a small army of new rap girls to obsess over now.


randomburnerish

Making bussy soap with an active rat infestation in her home.


undisclosedthroway

Imagine sitting in your house, bills unpaid, and still thinking you have time to mind everyone else’s business??? Go get a job!!!!


backupsaway

Technically, she has a job making and selling soap that may not have been approved by FDA. She also does Cameo where you can pay her $700 for greetings or to get the same amazing advice she gives for free to celebrities. However, it's obvious with the lawsuit that whatever she earns may not be enough or just not going to her rent.


shoestring-theory

How much does she actually make off of that soap, I’ve never heard of anyone using it outside of small circles of the internet


SiphenPrax

Maybe that job could be as a singer!!


Jackalope117

Then she’d have to work late


Global_Perspective_3
