#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax track 4: claire rosinkranz - i wanna be in love so bad (from my lover, 2026) a standout from the real AOTY just in case you don't know www.youtube.com/watch?v=STvj...

sadly i am back on reddit 😭

We all know it's Britney, bitch, however, there's still something that still wasn't revealed up to this day.....

Who is the bitch Britney introduces herself to?

I fear we are the bitch

i actually went on gemini or something the other day and it was just like a sort of talking encyclopedia that's wrong about 10% of the time, somehow i expected more?

i love her subtlety, queen

Grande’s new album frequently expresses her frustration with the expectations of the public; in the video for Petal, she murders a group of critics with a chainsaw.

can confirm i was mad about this ages ago, ahead of the curve once more www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

A pressing issue: why are vinyl albums becoming so different from their digital versions?

They’re expensive, elaborate – and may not contain all the music. After Olivia Rodrigo, Charli xcx and more sent out incomplete or unfinished vinyl versions, fans are feeling shortchanged

CDs and vinyl

What is your favorite example of when the cheap version of a product is legit better than the expensive one?

#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax track 3: ariana grande - petal (from petal, 2026) showstopping title track from the new album www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRnx...

been looking for penpals to fill my time recently and got a message from someone who wants to meet people who "work hard". and i thought about it but no, while my life may be hard work i cannot claim to work hard and i don't think i want to meet people who think that's a virtue

important and timely @peoples-pop-polls.bsky.social context for the worst song in the poll www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

‘I didn’t understand what Gaz was singing. It’s about needing a hug’: how Reef made Place Your Hands

‘We were swept up in the moment and full of testosterone. The 90s wasn’t a time when men were encouraged to be sensitive’

actually it's a shame that no robbie has shown up in the 1996 @peoples-pop-polls.bsky.social, this is very memeable (was he eligible?)

same energy

faith from the dumping ground - "...and my brother can't stand robbie williams. nor can i"

#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax track 2: charli xcx - ss26 (from music, fashion, film, 2026) may as well do them all from this year, plenty to choose from www.youtube.com/watch?v=twLh...

vaguely remember saying that ariana, gracie, charli and olivia were going to be the four horsewomen of the summer apocalypse and only olivia let me down! time to accept that harry was an honorary horsewoman all along and get on with things

last fm 7 days with baby queen, charli, britney (3rd again!), ariana, gracie, laura nyro, harry and olivia

Dave Moore@otherdavemoore.com · 5d ago

pop music only really works in a singles based format (tho ofc dave would that that's because it changed and everything is indie now)

Hot takes are annoying, tell me a strong opinion you had about music at some point in your life that changed

been less commented upon this week that ultra naté is in the top 10, the 90s really are back and she's still free to do what she wants-to-dew

Official Charts@officialcharts.bsky.social · 5d ago

seeing a few people round and about saying that it's not really taken the record cos it was much more special when bryan adams and wet wet wet were #1 for months on end and actually no it wasn't, they were bad songs and deserve to lose and no one remembers who frankie laine is

HISTORY MADE! Sam Fender and Olivia Dean's Rein Me In becomes the longest running single at Number 1 EVER! 🥳 🙌 https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/sam-fender-olivia-dean-rein-me-in-longest-running-single-at-number-1-ever-record-breaker/

I see Jonathan and Jennifer Hart have opened a shop together

A K-beauty shop in Westfield White City, named Moida, which looks like it may sound like the word ‘murder’ in a New York accent, making this a very niche 80s joke. (I know it probably isn’t pronounced like that, please don’t write in)
