Iggy is not the biggest pop star in the world because she has the #1 song, her only #1 song, in America. She's got the #2 song also... I'd say that's a pretty big deal since almost no one does it unless they are the most popular star at the moment....

And Codex, I know she had the #1 song in the world. My comment was directed at them acting like her having the #1 song on Billboard meant she was the biggest star in the world. Billboard is not the only chart, and I'm not even saying Iggy isn't a big star, but the biggest? Really?

The bottom line is Iggy is kinda the most popular right now even on a global scale. I hate to say it but it's true. She is this year's Adele.

Was Ke$ha the biggest star when 'Tik Tok' happened? Will Rihanna be the biggest star for the 13th time when she gets her next world wide number one? Your logic is incredibly flawed.

On the verses she does kind of sound like Robyn, but that's about where that good will ends. Ariana certainly has a pretty good voice generally speaking, but on this it just kinda is bland? Idk something about the production on the instrumental doesn't do it for me and on this her vocals are blandular.

I like this. Bit bland, but not much that it works against it.

Kesha had only one song out and Gaga was over shadowing her in every other way. Anyone can be the biggest at a single point in time. By definition longevity isnt a requirement for this to happen. I cant honestly think of a single artist who is bigger than her at the moment. You can deny it but Iggy is the biggest right now.

Iggy came out in a big way and is currently the talk of the town, but I don't think that makes her the biggest artist right now by any means. I really don't know what you want from me here.

I'm just explaining my position further. I just disagree that she isn't the biggest thing out right now. No one is bigger than her at the moment. Im also stating that longevity is a faulty metric in terms of how big someone is at the moment. The logic doesn't make sense.

Longevity was the wrong word, but I know you know what I meant.

Once again in talking but not listening to what is being said, you're absolutely missing the logic and lesson being given to you. Nobody is talking about longevity or anything of that nature, all people are saying it takes more than having the #1 single in the country to be considered the "Biggest pop star in the world" with your logic then Carly Rae Jepsen was the biggest pop star in the world when she made "Call Me Maybe" I think you're confusing the simple concept of having the biggest song in the world with biggest star in the world, but then are you really confusing it or are you being difficult needlessly?

That wasn't my logic at all. I never said being #1 made someone the biggest star in the world. I said being #1 and #2 on the charts certainly qualifies you for the consideration... I didn't even say that it was the only criteria for consideration. No pop star in the world is being discussed in volume and actually connecting the WW audiences more than Iggy at the moment. That much is fact. Iggy is not the biggest pop star in the world because she has the #1 song, her only #1 song, in America. She's got the #2 song also... I'd say that's a pretty big deal since almost no one does it unless they are the most popular star at the moment.... So lets at least comprehend my post correctly. So you can make an appropriate response.

As riveting as I find Adonis' opinion that Iggy is the biggest star in the world because she has a couple of hits-- one with a heavy feature, the other as a minor feature-- can we finally lay this to rest because what the hell does it have to do with Ariana?

I am SO tired of this sound, but for some reason I actually really like this. Hopefully the rest of the album is closer to "Problem" though.

This took a couple of days to grow on me, but I'm really liking it now! Hope it does well for her!

It will definitely be interesting to watch her album sales seeing how the first album didn't perform overly well considering she had a huge hit with "The Way".

Id say her album did well, and I wouldn't call The Way a "huge" hit. Her debut came out after the way had peaked and the subsequent singles didn't do much and still debuted with a healthy opening and outsold Selena and Demi's albums, both of which had much more radio success than Ariana did.

The only part of this song I don't get is the last chorus when there is room for so many ad-libs that she could kill and there is hardly anything. That was possibly the producer's choice in the end. I bet she'll add something there live.

I bet she'll add something there live. Probably producer's choice. I think it would sound very muddled with ad-libs given the production, honestly.
