VERY over the whole katy centered questions, i GET IT i UNDERSTAND katy and her song writing played a big part in her career but in the whole hour the talked about hot city for like 5 minutes and the rest wasn't about her own music it was all about her collabs. I was shocked he even mentioned april kills the vibe which i was happy about tbh. He could've used the structure of the interview on hot city, like break down the tracklisting if the issue was filling in the hour required.

I know the public is arguing that 2024 is the year of Charli, Chappell & Sabrina, but 2024 is really the year of Bonnie. Let's be real.

Sometimes I still can't believe we have Hot City, the album. Let alone on vinyl! If it came out in 2014, for sure it wouldn't be on vinyl and we all know Epic Records would never do a vinyl re-release because they hate their artists. #Justice4Karmin

Like @Ice Prince, I feel like I was mostly listening to older stuff! I don't even think I listened to ten albums released this year But of the ones I did, here's my list! Charli XCX - Brat and it's completely different but also still brat Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard and Soft Sabrina Carpenter - Short n' Sweet Troye Sivan - Something to Give Each Other Hikaru Utada - Science Fiction ... Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism Ariana Grande - Eternal Sunshine Katy Perry - 143

The Interviewer absolutely did not use his Opportunity to talk to Bonnie correctly. Can someone on this Website do a little special Podcast with Questions from us? I'm sure Bonnie would like to do that and I think we'd have the best Questions and most interesting ones.

I have to agree, I wanna hear more about reclaiming Hot City or even that lost album she said she made in between Bombastic and now!

original Bouquet tracklist by Gwen - Bouquet Some Body Else’s Problems (sic) Swallow My Tears Pretty Marygolds (sic) Purple Iris Empty Vase Late to Bloom Hold Tight True Babe All Your Fault True Babe was relegated to a standalone single long before the album, and "Hold Tight" was replaced by "Reminders"

I actually thought the duet was cute! It reminded me of carpool karaoke.

I don't care for holiday music but I'm just glad Bonnie keeps finding ways to keep us fed! 2024 really was her career's rebirth and I'm so happy

Here you go. If anyone with the CD can check their american girl & see if they got a good version please send 😭😭 And here's Bombastic CD rip too Trouble i can upload if anyone wants the CD rip too

Whoa, that's a very extensive list! Tbh this year I was in a very throwback mode and aside from my top 10 and a couple other projects, I was revisiting older releases instead. But omg it must've been hard to narrow +100 projects to this!

I've probably listened to about over 160 projects this year, eps included lol. I still have some stuff I'm yet to check out But anyways... lakeemmahottie's Top 30 Albums of 2024 Honourable Mentions lakeemmahottie's Top 12 EPs of 2024 (somehow only 12 are on my list. anyway!)

rip the CD for us to compare!

@Main Pop Girl You've been summoned! It's been a while since we've done one of these!

same. i really dont like zach sang but i wish she would go on a show like that to talk about her music instead of having to talk about all the songs she wrote with katy over and over again

I'm interested in Somebody Else's Problem! I wonder how that compares to the final version of the song

Kim Petras - Candy (2023). This is utterly simple but effective imo. Let's hope this album gets Problématique'd and we get it in full HQ on streaming one of these days

My vinyl arrived yesterday! HOT CITYYYYYYY

7 by Nelly Furtardo (2024) Tracklist First time listening to a Nelly album. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, but it's a bit of a mess despite my appreciation for the diversity. I tried to put most of the dance songs at the front and have them transition into the second half as a more personal side. Is it better than the tracklist she went with? Maybe not so much. Might switch a few songs but other than that I may get into her other records. Lack of cohesion in a comeback album from a 2000s pop icon continues the legacy of alot 2000s albums having that same fault in a way. My faves are: Love Bites, Honesty, Take Me Down, Fantasy, Corazon

Florrie - Give Me Your Love (2010) Instead of the Introduction EP released in 2010 as Florrie's debut extended play, she instead went for a full studio effort including the other tracks she released earlier that year. It is also retitled Give Me Your Love as for its title track being a fan-favourite. The era begins with "Call 911" and continues with other tracks like "Fascinate Me", "Come Back to Mine" and "Panic Attack" as promotional singles throughout the year. Ultimately, "Fascinate Me", "Give Me Your Love" and the first Fred Falke mix of "Panic Attack" are subsequently released as official singles to follow up the commercial success of "Call 911". Singles from Give Me Your Love: "Call 911" (12 July 2010) "Fascinate Me" (3 September 2010) "Give Me Your Love" (28 October 2010) "Panic Attack" (8 November 2010) Track listing: Call of the Wild Give Me Your Love Fascinate Me Fred Falke version Call 911 Radio mix You Wanna Start Something Summer Nights Panic Attack Fred Falk mix 2 Come Back to Mine Jaxon remix edit Left Too Late Call 911 Florrie remix; Exclusive Florrie website bonus track

My signed CD came in the mail today 😍

lmao I was aware of this but she has to be joking although if now every album she's released is being nicknamed her debut album I wouldn't be mad as long as it has some true bops in it

I wonder if she's going to try for another summer smash. Malibu deserved more! (and that cut bridge also deserves to be released)

I listened to a lot of older music this year as well, along with unreleased and AI generated so, I definitely didn't listen to 10 newly released albums this year. But, according to Apple Music my most listened to albums this year were: Higher Than Heaven (Deluxe) - Ellie Goulding To, X. (The 5th Mini Album) - TAEYEON eternal sunshine (slightly deluxe) - Ariana Grande Red (Taylor's Version) - Taylor Swift Why (The 2nd Mini Album) - TAEYEON Brat and it's completely different but also still brat - Charli XCX Hot City - Bonnie McKee Chromatica - Lady Gaga Confident (Deluxe) - Demi Lovato ME - Single - JISOO

yeah I've listened to ALOT of music this year aside from this year's releases. I got into Bladee this year and deadmau5 and Julia Holter etc etc

Let me begin by saying that many artists I've followed for a long time released music this year, and several were underwhelming in my opinion. Others, very overrated due to their TikTok/social media popularity/virality (rather than actual quality), but despite all that, I was able to grab a top 10 list that ultimately wasn't that much in the spotlight. Here's mine! AURORA - What Happened to the Heart? Hayley Mary - XS Florrie - The Lost Ones Kylie Minogue - Tension II Paloma Faith - The Glorification of Sadness Bonnie McKee - Hot City Bastille - & David Kushner - The Dichotomy Kerli - OVERSOUL Dua Lipa - Radical Optimism Yup, I was expecting to have Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Brooke Candy, Katy Perry, and Charli XCX the most of all, on this list, but honestly their albums this year were not enough to make it. Ultimately, it's not all so bad. With Bonnie McKee giving us THE maximalist bright pop record after a decade, Florrie delivering us a brilliant full studio album after several delays, and AURORA with her most sublime album to date (+ I went to see her live this year and it was the best night of this year!), I'm happy to close this year with some pop bibles that will definitely become classics.

The way I'd be hunting it down, causing commotion.

I remembered that an unused drum stem for Text Book by Lana Del Rey leaked earlier this year, and I tried to mix it into the song. The difference is noticeable only in the first verse, but I think it really switched the track up! Lana Del Rey - Text Book (Alternate Version with scrapped drum stem)

New podcast episode came over the weekend

i wanna make cds for my album but i am not the greatest designer! espically when i lack alot of decent visuals for my album where i only took two photos. considering reaching out to great quality designers since i know a few and maybe doing a few more photos idk

YESSSSS. im gonna try and snag a copy after my london trip. im also trying to get this plushie which i fear may be out of production soon

My CD finally arrived. I didn’t realize when I ordered from her site that I was paying £8 for her autograph (my CD cost £21). Now the autograph copies have run-out, the non-autograph copies from her site are selling for only £13 (minus shipping + handling).

The improvement this would have been.

wish we did icl. I think all we know is that the album had these tracks: One Obsession 17 Haters Anonymous Traces Sex Rules 108 99 Tears Too Many Boys American Dream (Unconfirmed, tho the producer, FrankMusick, was said to have been on the album, tho this was the only song he recorded with Sky) I think Untouchable was on the album at one point since she posted the final snippet on her soundcloud. Cobra also has a finished format so maybe that was on the album too. Watcha Gonna Do was a B Side to One, could have been on the album, maybe not. Speaking of scrapped albums with currently missing drafts, I NEED the Poppy Bubblebath album tracklist. It was most likely finished since it had a set release date in 2015.

hmm.. im not a big fan of Dua but i would like for one day, someone to clarify the recording sessions timeline for the songs considered for release, not just the album. when tracklists or lists in general were made, dates of when songs were written and later recorded, dates for when the lists were revised, etc would be interesting.

Heads up everyone! I will be travelling for the next month, so I'll have limited access. If there are issues that require one of the admins or mods, reach out to @Main Pop Girl or @Heartbreak Anthem!

Following the highly-acclaimed Spirit, Echo was Leona Lewis' second studio album. It saw her working with many "name" producers, such as: Max Martin, Harvey Mason Jnr, John Shanks & Ryan Tedder, among others, however, Syco⏤much like with the release of Spirit⏤mishandled the fuck out of this era. "Happy" was the album's lead single and while praised by critics, I felt like it provided a false start to the era, and isn't a single-worthy release. I would have kicked-off the era with its second single, "I Got You" and went from there. Praised as the next Mariah Carey, Céline Dion & Whitney Houston, I do believe Lewis was always set up to fail by Syco and her management, and it's unfortunate because of her powerful gift. Track listing Happy I Got You Love Letter Can't Breathe You Don't Care Outta My Head Brave My Hands Alive Don't Let Me Down Fly Here Now Broken Naked Singles I Got You Can't Breathe Outta My Head Don't Let Me Down Broken

Bubblebath by Poppy (2015) Imo Bubblebath would have been a stronger debut album than Poppy.Computer. I'm not saying Poppy.Computer is bad, but its a little underwhelming in some places especially being the first album. Moshi Moshi and Software Upgrade are total bops, espically Software Upgrade. Bubblebath would have been a better debut since there was a set theme and concept behind the album, Poppy.Computer just feels like a void of her YouTube personality with some great songs here and there but some lacking delivery in some songs. I may change this tracklist but so far I think it's satisfactory. I wanted to add New York, All My Fault, and Guns & Gold also but couldn't find placements for them. Though I want to keep Bubblebath at no more than 14 songs unless I make a deluxe idea. Must say Renegade makes a great into to the album, defo should have been released!

Considering how scarce were her releases after the Bombastic EP, I'm so grateful by how many things Bonnie has given us just this year: apart from the Hot City album, which was already a huge deal obviously, and would be enough to satisfy the fans, she also graced us with 2 more music videos, Rendezvous in partnership with Spotify, two EPs with additional versions of American Girl and Sleepwalker, and a tour (for those lucky enough to live in the United States). Not to mention the physical copies of Hot City. I really appreciate that, I hope she continues to be this prolific.

Tension II by Kylie Minogue (2024) Tracklist I forgot to make a post when I listened but Tension did not need a second volume, especially when a quarter of this album is filler. Some bops in here for sure but it's one of her weakest and least exciting albums. I do hope she releases Night Owl so I can cut some of these songs out. Also Midnight Ride is shite, does not fit the album whatsoever. Why couldn't have she saved more songs like Stars In Our Eyes (especially for the slight astrology aesthetic going on) for the final cut. And shoulda left ya was way too short too. Edit: Night Owl leaked!!!

I can't believe we got new music from Mozart sooner than Rihanna.

I forgot about this EP! Is it time for one of your famous tracklist reworks?

Fergie - Double Dutchess Love Is Pain Hungry Just Like You Get High On Love Like It Ain't Nuttin Love Is Blind Sexy Life Goes On Milf Money Save It Til Morning Dancin A Little Work

anyone wanna leak the original scrapped K5 tracklist that had Nothing's Sacred as the lead single?

I found this but I doubt it was the actual tracklist. I would love to see an official draft though: Ariana Grande - Moonlight Baby Loves (Intro) Moonlight Be Alright Let Me Love You (feat. Lil Wayne) All That Hi Lavender Envelopes I've Heard It Both Ways It Ain't Right She Got Her Own Focus on Me

2018 version of treat myself deserves Justice. It was such a good album that never got it’s moment to shine due to poor single choices and poor promotion of the album. It has some of her best songs on it. Even Meghan admitted on a live stream with her brother that hard to please is one of her favorite unreleased songs and said it is one of her best written. The 2020 version of the album is alright but doesn’t even compare to the 2018 version. The 2018 version was more consistent and at least had a specific style that it was going for. The 2020 version was just a random bunch of her songs that she recorded within a 3 year span. In the end, unfortunately we got an album that doesn’t flow well because Meghan was just desperate to release the album.

Below is the original tracklist for Annie's album, Don't Stop. This version was scheduled for release in 2008, but was pushed to 2009 and had its tracklist significantly revised. 1. Girlfriend [Renamed to "I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me" and released on the All Night EP] 2. Loco 3. Sweet [Released on the All Night EP] 4. My Love Is Better 5. Marie Cherie 6. Take You Home 7. When The Night 8. What Do You Want (Breakfast Song) [Renamed to simply "The Breakfast Song"] 9. Bad Times 10. Heaven & Hell 11. Perfectly Honest [Remains unleaked] 12. Songs Remind Me of You 13. Misery (Duet) [Renamed "I Can't Let Go" and released on the All Night EP]
