I am a huge fan of Ari, WAYYY more than Meghan But there is no denying that AATB was way bigger than Problem, which also was a monster hit. Plus, if you do compare there major singles, Meghan is more successful Let's take there album singles and there terms of success, since both there previous albums both had 4 singles each
AATB (Higher peak + Double year end appearance) > Problem Lips Are Movin (Same peak, but higher year end placement by a 10 spot difference) > Break Free Dear Future Husband < Love Me Harder Like I'm Gonna Lose You > One Last Time
And Title has sold more than My Everything as well
Also, No has been doing better than Dangerous Woman so far as current album lead singles. So, you can't go disrespecting Meghan even if Ari is a better artist. Mainly since, AATB alone is one of most successful songs of all time and is a chart topper A feat Ari has yet to accomplish.
Also, IMO Ari & Meghan are pretty different in sound Meghan has gone into some Doo-wop influence and is now doing more pure Pop While Ari has pop with influences of R&B or EDM/Dance overall/And yet she still only has one hit. You're plain biased and being petty

There's perhaps something here, but whoever recommended that she largely ditch her sound** (and producer Kevin Kadish***) needs a stern talking to.
Of the songs that have been released (I haven't checked out the full album stream yet), "Mom," which aligns with her "Title" album sonically, is the only one on which she sounds natural. It's too basic and cutesy to be a single, but at least it sounds right for her.
I also think she's going a bit too overboard with the "confidence" theme. "All About That Bass" worked because it "took back" a quality generally viewed as a flaw and also because it was relatable for "normal" people. Much of what she seems to be deriving confidence from now (wealth, fame, success, nice breast-eses) separates her from the "normies."
Granted, this is still picking up a good amount of early airplay, so it'll have a legitimate chance to become a hit if the public embraces it. Radio is still high on Meghan.
**I sincerely hope this wasn't a reaction to "Dear Future Husband" "flopping" because there were other factors at play - including the song being too familiar (it received the 2nd most buzz and exposure from the debut EP) and the misogynist backlash. If she releases "Title" or "Walkashame" or even "Credit" in that spot, she has another Top 10 on the Hot 100.
**I also hope the Kevin Kadish thing had nothing to do with his legal complaint over streaming revenue. He for sure didn't come off well -- but, still -- he works so well with her.

This is a letdown after how good "NO" is. That said, it should be considered that I'm usually not into Meghan's songs, aside the aforementioned.
However, I do like the bassline here and it reminds me of "Trouble for Me", but Britney's track is so much better than this though.

I've never liked her, but at least all her other songs sounded like hits. WHAT is this?!

Ari is trying to be Mariah. However Meghan is now trying to be Ari. Seems to me she is the lowest on the totem pole in this triangle.
Case solved! So pretty!

What would the threads be like without these fan-created diva wars spiraling into spoogey messes where this one ( ^ see above ) wraps it all up in a supremely c*nty bow?
OH, right... they'd be a thread about the song's performance at radio. My bad.
Anyway... regardless of Ariana and Mariah... this song isn't going to take Miss Meghan to the next level. Rather, it's going to add another notch onto the "best new artist" Grammy curse bedpost.
She isn't the first and won't be the last. And the band played on.

The only thing Meghan and Ariana have in common is that both of them look awkward dancing in their videos.... I never thought they seemed similar at all. Was that a joke or was it because someone thought "No" was similar to "Problem"

LOOOOVVVVVVE THIS! "No" did nothing for me and was a step down imo.
This reminds me of LMFAO, but I love it anyway.

Come on guys I don't mean similar in appearance or voice just the awkward sultry light rnb pop lane that ari went and Meghan followed.
I run a drag house and I have all types the grown ass wide drag queens I tell them to not sultry it up its kinda awkward for the audience. Meghan coming out with that video trying to sex up the place was as awful as Jessica Simpson two left feet trying it with Britney back I'm the early 2000s.
Meghan should stick to doo wop ish stuff and appeal to that crowd over there.

I Won't Let You Down would've been a much better summer single. Hopefully this does well though!

"I Love Me" should have been the next single. Sure, it kinda rips off "Pon de Replay," but it still screams summer song nonetheless.

Ugh what an awful video.
They're clearly trying to market her as a "Pop girl" aka the likes of Katy, Rih, or Taylor which she clearly is not. I really hope they realize this before they turn too many people off and destroy all the momentum they had with her debut.
You DON'T have to be a sex symbol to be a Pop star! Ugh!

Unfortunately I have to say it's her worst single.
In this video I like the dancing scenes and that blue blackdrop there.
