Well at least her tour wasn't canceled due to lack of demand like some others.

What? Ya'll underestimating Mehgan. She had a huge #1 hit for starters (with 1b+ views on vevo). Multiple top ten hits, currently the female with the highest album debut sales this year (she will be #2 due to Adele though), her album is almost 2m WW in sales. She writes her own songs too & is decent live. I don't really like her music but she's pretty much one the sleeper-hit girls of this decade. For now people like to say she's a "one-album wonder" but time will tell.

I don't doubt she's successful, though it seems you and Matt were referring to technical single/album success, whereas I was pointing to pop culture relevance. You can be very successful on the radio and harbor that market and still not really be talked about that much. It happens a lot actually.

The opposite is also true. Only icons and legends have both.

You're right I was

Ugh honestly as much as I adore Xtina, of course she looks radiant when she's had an 8 year vacation from her job.

And the more I consider her comeback in 2016 the more I doubt she's found herself musically/creatively yet. I don't think she knows where to place herself in the market which is why her last two albums have felt so off.

Outside of AATB there really isn't much to say about her tbh. She's not causing media controversy or in the lime-light so she won't have much coverage.

It's crazy for Xtina fans to hate Britney considering the fact that Xtina has been and will forever be relevant cause of Britney. Remember that time when she tried to leach off the attention Lady Gaga was getting before the release of Artpop with their tragic performance but the album ended up being a complete garbage like Xtina's last 2 albums

She's busy teaching online singing courses. I doubt she'll be releasing anytime soon since actually no one cared about her but rather about the feud with Britney.

It's time to line up for your lashings.

GRIMES and IMPACT.

LAUGHABLE.

NOBODY gives a fuck about Grimes.

Even at her "height" nobody gave a fuck about Grimes.

And you won't find her "impact" reflected on any surface of the music industry.

She put out a song that was cute to listen to while high, and talked a lot of shit about established music acts in attempt to mask the fact that even she knew her career wasn't shit and nobody would know who the dick she was in 5 minutes time, nor would anybody caste to learn. That's it.

She's a SOUNDCLOUD HOE, sis. Deal.

But fucking Grimes??? This is a travesty of flop taste over a chick who didn't even have enough of an impact to say she had 15 minutes. A blip 3 years ago and nothing more.

I doubt anyone would be channelling Grimes must like some contemporary artists today attempt to channel Mariah.

I mean the indie movement who's started wearing jumpers around their waists again and doing their hair like Pidgeot escaping from a concentration camp all think it's great and have updated their nouveau blogs with the scores that get archived by Metacritic but who cares if nobody remembers about it in a few years.

I don't even like Mariah Carey, why am I doing this

If there is anything you should learn about POPGAF, it's that Royalan never wins.

Have that many people even been showing up to Mariah's shows lately? The shows she doesn't cancel anyway.

[ 9 3 ]

As in, thousand, LTD sales of MIAMTEC? Maybe?

I'm gonna wait another week or two before i'll get too confident on that metascore. It's impressive & all but compared with her with other album that had like 40+ critics, it could be a bit premature.

But why are we even comparing Grimes and mariah?

One is one of the most iconic chanteuses to ever grace music, and the other is still trying to make her mark on this decade.
