Runway 27,876 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 26 minutes ago, Versace said: I can literally tear up thinking about the current music climate. The late 2000's and early 2010's is the music of my generation. The songs and albums released will forever be my childhood/teenage years. It's sad to think that once pop was the reigning genre and how Gaga and Katy really helped bring it to the forefront. It's hard to believe the girl that gave us Teenage Dream and 5 #1 off that album is now struggling to break top 10. I felt the same sadness when Perfect Illusion a GAGA LEAD, couldn’t break top 10. What has the streaming era done to our beloved pop artists and our beloved genre. Also Taylor who we thought was keeping pop alive with 1989 and Reputation, might not get a #1 this year. I worry that pop as a genre and all the artists we grew up loving will very soon no longer be mainstream and on the forefront. Nowadays the streaming era decides on a weekly-monthly basis which one hit wonder it wants to capitalize. I know that chart success isn’t everything but believe it or not this is a commercial indication that Pop music is dying the same way rock music did, in the mainstream aspect at least. Never Really Over was an amazing pop song and deserved more success!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Gaga sobbing on So You Think You Can Dance) It's like they forgot they are on a forum dedicated to a pop star who is responsible for a million melodramatic speeches. When she just presented the "Hairstylist of The Year" award she acted like she was addressing the United Nations. You're passion isn't a bad thing.

bloody g 31,746 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I expected a lot worse. And it still has plenty of radio support. It can still chart and eventually rise. 『𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝』 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never Really Over was an amazing pop song and deserved more success!!! I know that there may be mixed reactions to this statement because there unfortunately is a mixed reaction to her on here, but Ariana Grande is holding it up pretty well. Now I know people might be like, "7 Rings isn't really pop." and they are mostly right, but at her heart she is a pop artist. The Top 10 also has several pop songs in it now, so let's see how things evolve in the next few months. Don't lose hope! he/him/his Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverLoader 1,254 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 It's a perfectly good 3rd or 4th single..but it wasn't lead single material imo. It's a weaker song than CTTR tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdaines 209 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Just a note of positivity -- "Never Really Over" just eclipsed "Con Calma" on overall radio (#28, +1) with a really strong increase in radio airplay (+2.21M today, 3rd best). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo 4,293 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 There was a time I might have argued the merits of NRO... but nowadays, I'm more like, "At least this is music. I understand this." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
