By long album standards, that isn't horrible.

I don't know where this long album trend came from all of sudden, but it needs to end. I've been checking out the album though and there's some good hits on there. Chun Li has been my jam all summer. Really digging Sir, Chun Swae, Thought I Knew You right now. Barbie Dreams is indeed fire, she didn't have to do Thug like that.

 

LLC, Ganga Burns, Good Form, and Come and See Me also have some nice flavor. Rich Sex's beat goes hard, but the lyrics are just....nasty. Can't do it. PS Nicki owns Fefe. 6-9 is annoying but dang is that a bop.

 

It's early, but I think Cardi wins. Matter of fact, that may be the best rap album of 2018 period. That album is just ridiculous.

I was looking forward to Chun Swae based on the title, but it was kind of a boring song!

Basically more songs = more streams = more “sales” = better chart position.

 

They don’t really know how to handle streaming when it comes to charts and certifications yet.

It is insane just how solid that album is. Best of the year for sure. Will be fun to see the stan meltdown once they realise Nicki won’t outsell it on its first week sales.

Yeah it's a mess. Kind of ruining the fun of chart tracking to be honest. When Drake takes up half of the Billboard something's wrong. Didn't Billboard used to have a rule where only official singles could chart? And then they had some non-singles that would chart, typically high positions, for like a week. Now it seems like entire albums are charting. Drake, Post, etc. It's kind of stupid. 

 

Tha Carter 3 was more hyped than Scorpion was imo, and that didn't take up 7 spots in the top 10.

 

All these headlines about Drake breaking this and that record, besting Michael, but Michael was a in completely different era, and he didn't have more lax "rules" and Apple Music homerism to boost him. I'm not hating or anything, but it does seem like streaming is taking too much precedent and throwing the charts off wack now, especially around the top 10.

[Jandrew]

The July 14, 2018 top 10 consisted of 4 artists. Four. One artist has 7 spots, another has 2. Rewind ten years and the top 10 is a surprising 10 artists. Got pop, rap, and alternative represented.

 

2018:

- Drake, Cardi, Maroon 5, XXX

2008: 

- Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus, Plies and Neyo, Coldplay, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Leona Lewis, Natasha B, Rihanna, even the daggum Jonas Brothers

 

Streaming, or how they're trying to approach it, is definitely breaking things. Just like movies with superheroes and Disney remakes, it seems the charts are getting more "blockbuster", and rewarding less artists overall, but rewarding the lucky few more...

 

ps dang 2008 sure had some fire. Those were fun times.

I get that now.

 

Movie is amazing. Was gonna check out the sequel but it looks like the world flat out rejected it and that they replaced Keanu with some random man off the street.

[The Panda]

I was told today

 

”It’s not that I don’t like black people, I’m not racist, I just can’t stand their culture so I don’t like to hang around them”

 

What even is this nonsense?

 

It baffles me how some people are completely blind to how racist they actually are

Hey now that sequel's influence was felt in Incredibles 2.

[CoolioD1]

the best thing about speed 2 (except willem dafoe who's actually a lot of fun in it) is that the jaguar guy comes back and gets his boat stolen. if it was a continuing franchise and that guy's day was always getting ruined by these assholes and their speeding vehicles it'd have been fun.

I need Keanu and Sandra in a new Speed movie that pretends that 2nd one never happened.
