Main Pop Girl

Awkward photo of Nicola But they all look gorgeous. I think Sarah would be happy to see them all together again

Nice! Seems promising that we'll get some more stuff coming up for the album anniversary. Open up the vaults girls

Let's agree to disagree. Hope you have a good day too!

I remember this story too. He wanted to do an original album but they wanted him to do a covers album which they thought would be more successful. Realistically I think either one would have flopped But best of luck to him with the new deal!

Very true. Plus, Geri and Vic probably had the least vocals out of all the girls, whereas I would guess Sarah is just behind Nadine as the singer with the most lines in GA (or maybe tied with Cheryl?) I'd be really here for that actually! I know they have a heap of unreleased songs lying around, and Xenomania has always been great at splicing together different tracks to make a masterpiece. I'd love to hear something new from them! Sarah definitely had an amazing energy on stage and always brought that rock edge to their live vocals. I will say Cheryl is pretty good at hyping up a crowd too and given that Nicola has (imo) the best voice and very few lines, they could easily divvy Sarah's parts out between her and Kimberly. Still, songs like Sexy No No No wouldn't be the same without Sarah's energy up there

The German opening to Sailor Moon goes off

Like the Sugababes, Girls Aloud aren't really an active band anymore in that they're not releasing music, but they're still working together on new projects. They recently announced a new sleepwear range with Primark with all proceeds going towards breast cancer charities to honour their late bandmate Sarah Harding. They also have a charity concert coming up, but that guy from Years and Years will be performing instead of them I'm sure their intentions are very pure, but I can't help but feel like a part of this is testing the waters to see if people care about them as a four piece. I don't know what their sound would be in 2022 and Xenomania is MIA from the pop scene so Idk what they would do together as a group. What do you guys think?

Only half of it!

It's hard to say isn't it? I also read something a few weeks ago that said that most Russian people were in support of Putin, but I think it will be a different situation if and when those same people or the people they love are actually sent into war. I know there's a lot of people in the Russian government who are pissed off with Putin for all the sanctions as well, so maybe they'll apply some pressure and keep him in line. China is a whole other thing to worry about. The fact that China, Russia and even India (with the biggest population on earth!) and all those other random African countries are in cahoots is pretty scary. It's sad that these leaders still haven't figured out that war won't solve anything and the pros are never worth the cons.

I hope so too! If you're interested, there was a Twitter that was working on getting a lot of big songs from the early 2000s on Spotify. I think this was them:

I think we're really coming to a breaking point when it comes to Russia right now. Ukraine is undoubtedly winning the war, and instead of backing down Putin has decided to double down by sending millions of men into war who have no interest, and many of whom are fleeing Russia for their own lives. Either people will decide that enough is enough and figure out a way to get rid of Putin (god only knows how) or this really will devolve into World War 3. I really hope it's the former and Russia is able to finally join the rest of the world in the 21st century where democracy is a respected concept and human life is valued

Right? And also, how many members of the general public are crawling through Discord servers or music forums to listen to demos of unreleased songs? Even if 1% of an artist's fans heard the song, that's still 99% of people for who it's completely original and fresh

Oh true, I was thinking of Camila's new label 😅

Here it is now with Charlie Walk who was apparently a chairman at Republic: And her manager Roger Gold: All just kinda creepy but nothing explicitly bad Ig Gaga? 🤔

At least Eiffel 65 will be getting awesome royalties from this song

I feel like this is one of the most straightforward R&B songs they recorded. Even then Mutya's voice still sounds so cool

I've never found her a likeable person and I don't enjoy her music so I'm not surprised I remember a bunch of text messages between her and a label exec leaked and the whole thing just put a gross taste in my mouth. But it is weird when she has a big single with Ed out right now. I wonder if she'll do a Gwen Stefani/Shakira/Xtina and just focus on being a Voice host full time

I'm much more of a Navy member (?) than a Swiftie, but at this point I think that Taylor would have actually made a lot more sense as a performer. Apparently she doesn't want to commit to it until she's finished rerecording all her albums? I guess she knows that the Superbowl always leads to a huge surge in streaming numbers so she wants to be prepared when it does I hope Rihanna makes a comeback! Unfortunately it seems the pop world doesn't seem to really like seeing women with children still be sexy and fierce (Katy ) so I'm not sure if it will happen though

Sacrifice was a total bop! I don't understand why that version of dance pop didn't work for her but this messy 90s rehash is now the biggest song on the planet I know I'm old now because these TikTok trends completely allude me

I hate this song But good for ha I guess. Will she ever have a hit that isn't a collab? 👀

She'll be singing all the hits! "We found the right shade for your faceeeee" "You can come and use my lash curler, urler, urler, aye, aye, aye" "Your face is in Contrastia...Apply the dark, apply the light"

So weird there's still music that doesn't appear on certain services or in certain countries! I wanted to listen to Painted Windows by PCD the other day and had to stream it on YouTube because it doesn't seem to be on any streaming service Thanks for compiling this list for us!

Rihanna has confirmed she will be performing at the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show! Five years ago I would have been so excited for this, but girl has been out of the music industry for so long at this point that I'm not really too hyped for a performance from her... But I guess if she's performing she'll probably drop some new music around the same time so I guess a musical comeback is on the way. She definitely has enough hits and she seems like she always puts on a good show. I think she'll do well! Your thoughts?

Not sure it’s the same track, but Heidi would actually probably do really well on All Around the World! She has a great voice for dance pop.

I mean, I sort of get it. But at the same time, they only got to write on one track out of four with Dallas Austin and Keisha's always been very positive about their collaboration. I've never heard them say a bad word about Dr Luke or Diane Warren even though they didn't get to write on those tracks at all. But for some reason it seems like Xenomania is worse than all of them...I think that something personal must have happened between them, or even just a bad personality mismatch
