I'll have to tune in! Curious what small tidbits and details she dropped!

I don't care, but y'all do, so discuss here. Happy 2021!

I love the diversity on this list! There are a few I haven't heard, so I gotta give those a spin.

Good on her for taking time to herself. 9 years in the band is a long time and a lot of pressure. Maybe in time, she'll come back down the road!

Bless. I hope she quickly gets this last album out and never has to deal with those people again.

I guess technically "Oh, What a World 2.0" came out this year, but nah, I just love all her albums.

Kacey Musgraves won my top pick for the second year in a row! Other notable artists that were in my top are: Lady Gaga Phoebe Ryan Ava Max Zara Larsson Songs: Freya Ridings - Castles Meghan Trainor - Workin' On It Kylie Minogue - Say So Parachute - Meant to Be Ariana Grande - Don't Call Me Angel I don't think Spotify is a great measurement for me because I also have local files, so I tend to use my default music player on my phone. From that list, the top songs were: Ally Brooke - No Good Dua Lipa - Hallucinate Little Mix - Gloves Up Clean Bandit - Tick Tock Mabel - Don't Call Me Up All in all, I think it's been a great year in pop music! Lots of artists, lots of options, lots of great moments with these songs and albums.

One thing I was thinking about was, so many artists ended up releasing albums this year (probably to help record labels from hemorrhaging money). What's going to happen next year? Are these artists and singer/songwriters going to come back with a quick follow-up and do a double feature tour? On top of this, if any of the albums that came out this year were rush albums, I wonder how many artists are almost done with their contracts. Thinking in line with Kesha's situation. I think she only has one more album that she needs to release under RCA/Kemosabe before she can finally be free.

lmfao first it's dbree and now it's genius. I love the internet.

I stream, I buy CDs, I buy vinyls, I download, I'm a hoarder.

no joke, I sometimes search for stuff on dbree cause larger hub sites like iTop sometimes host on there. This way I can bypass all the ads and pop-ups.

With the way the world is, is the Super Bowl even still happening?

tbh, let's give it to Blackpink.

Pass

I noticed that Jesy was missing from some of the promo and signatures! But I also heard she's been sick, which is why she hasn't been at any events.

Where's Jesus going?! Is he paying Satan a visit?

Can't argue with talent! But tbh, I do hope Little Mix gets it next week!

Can I vote for Kylie to hit #1 this week and then Little Mix next week? ?

Trump can finally go eff off.

Disco sweat! ?

Ava? Is that really you?

I will never be a vegan. If eating meat kills me, it was nice knowing y'all!

I don't think my parents were actually that strict. I held extremely high standards for myself growing up, so if anything, I have self-induced pressure towards success. But I guess that's why I don't relate to Paris' story. As a kid, I always used logic to explain my stance or dreams. I would have long-term plans drawn out so my parents couldn't disagree with my ideas.

I don't necessarily agree with all the treatment she received, especially the parts with grown men is too much and wildly unchecked. The part that's self-induced is her behaviour prior. On a personal level, I didn't act out the way she did, so my parents never considered sending me to boarding school or any other type of correctional facility. I do know someone close to me that did. She was sent to a therapeutic boot camp in the desert where she had to go through some pretty physically strenuous activity. Luckily she didn't have to deal with any questionable behaviour by staff. After, she said it was one of the toughest times of her life, feeling isolated and alone, but she also speaks of emerging grown and now has a better understanding of how to reach kids in today's society who are going through a similar mindset to her when she was a kid. She now teaches parents how to be better equipped to deal with their kids so that these new parents don't have to resort to boarding school. Point of my logic: There's blame to be placed on both sides, but the perspective of the outcome is where my respect lies. To me, this whole documentary is trying to build sympathy, but in my friend's case, she builds respect from her experiences. That's why I wish she went more into how those experience drove her to chase and achieve her dream. From what I can understand, she chased her dream simply because she likes to earn money. I think it's explicitly stated at least twice.
