This is really great but I agree that it's too short. Like, almost to the point where it's just two hooks cycled twice? Hot 100 songs have been getting shorter since streaming rose to prominence, but we have to be nearing the floor here. I can't help but wonder if a minimum length rule for the Hot 100 is in place by 2022.
It is a great encapsulation of the moment in the way that it is co-existing as a TikTok, a viral video, and a song, but in that order.

Is Kylie promoting a new record? She released an album named Disco in November. I assume she's still promoting that. There's a long-rumored re-release of Disco that includes her Infinite Disco live performance and maybe a few new tracks, but I'm not sure she would announce that first in the US. I am looking forward to see two legends, icons, stars interact either way.

Hopefully it's not a coincidence that Cherry Blossom peak bloom is generally March 20-April 5th.

This sounds so good and fresh on the radio. Their fans should be really proud of pushing it this far and you can tell a lot of stations really enjoyed the request and audience engagement surges. Wish it could nab a second wind, but I think it would require a pretty muscly promo surge that just isn't going to happen.

This is a killer album. Very J-Pop influenced, especially that distorted guitar (gives me Utada vibes) in a lot of the tracks.

Amazing album. Cohesive without being same-y. I even like Boys Will Be Boys, especially compared to other message songs from pop girls, it's great.

I wonder if we will see her perform this mashed up with Don't Start Now as it peaks once they kick the album promo into high gear soon. It has to start in the US soon, right? We're less than a month out, so I'd expect a second push on TV, plus streaming/radio promo. It seems like there is some desire for this song with early adds, but I would understand if they feel like a global Break My Heart rollout is the safer choice.

This is a truly iconic song and it pairs so well with Blinding Lights on radio. A dark 80s synthpop era is a timely fit for our world right now tbh

Lots of examples of why radio is a tired good old boys club. She won't kiss the ring, she wasn't "nice" enough when he met her. The sexism is unreal.

I was just hoping she starts doing a more modern release pattern. Throw a great song on Spotify if you like it even if it doesn't go with a specific project, like Florence did with Moderation or Gaga with The Cure. It might help bolster her streaming presence a bit, of course without going overboard. There is no reason to be locked in a strident 2-year album cycle, first single a month before the album etc. etc. release pattern anymore.

The scream I let out when they announced her for AOTY. A QUEEN. Now I'm glad that her Chicago show got postponed because I'll get to see Album of the Year winner Kacey Musgraves

The Australian National Final is LIT. I can't believe they are nailing their first one ever like this. On My Way could stomp its way to a win in the Grand Final if they can deliver on the staging.

I'd put money on one of these, possibly Something New, being the Talk Show theme song.

She needs to quickly get some promo booked to get this over its next plateau.
I agree with Just Dance comparisons, but The Fame and its singles were such a cohesive vision and execution both visually and musically, that I'm not sure she has that established of an identity yet, but I definitely see big things for her if she can follow up on this.
Her biggest challenge is that the US is lagging so far behind Europe on this (surprise surprise), and I'm sure they would prefer to release a new single to all markets simultaneously before she loses momentum in Europe.

I'm dead. The hair, the outfit, the boots, the WHIP. Literally makes every other guest judge in show history look like dirt.

Nnnn... I can NOT believe Go is in this compilation. Let me go find my old illegal mp3 from Kazaa. Heat not having a video and being excluded is a shame. Also didn't All I Ever Wanted get a cheap tour video?

She's leaning into Gaga's Fame Monster aesthetic a bit too much, but this song lies somewhere between that album and One of the Boys and that is a very attractive spot to try and make a pop moment happen.

The Pop categories overall are a trainwreck (Pop Solo Performance is an unholy mutant that should be locked in a basement), and Vocal Album is a snoozefest, but it's great to see talent rewarded.

I saw the tabloid thing a week or so back, but had no idea that it had actually happened let alone had already been executed. What? I think they mean because Reba is divorced from Brandon’s dad. Kelly and Brandon aren’t divorced. Though, I think she would disagree with the former part, seeing as how she’s always claiming her step kids as her own. Oh I forgot Brandon was her stepson lol

In that Cher clip at 1:15 the interviewer is talking to Reba and calls Kelly "your former daughter-in-law" It’s factual although I’m sure they all remain incredibly close. I saw the tabloid thing a week or so back, but had no idea that it had actually happened let alone had already been executed.

Guys, I had to download Wrapped In Red from iTunes because I don't know what happened to my cd. I'm in love all over again. What a treasure. :) The Queen appreciates your re-investment in her holiday masterpiece.

Does it typically happen that way for a Christmas song? I think there's a bit of a survival period for holiday songs. There is a rush of new songs and albums every year, so if a song remains active year after year, it eventually becomes a staple. Since it's such a small window of play, the longer a song is kept on playlists, the more it's associated to memories, the more play it gets and it kicks off a self-feeding cycle.

This is a global smash that's going to get away because neither artists' management is interested in doing anything for it at the moment.

I just realized how much I want to see her do this on the tour, even though it's a long shot

I'm sorry my lackadaisical post has affected you so much. Jack as much as I agree with you on here, you are completely unable to post an opinion on this board without also trying to pick a fight with someone. It's great when it's toward obvious trolls, but when there isn't one for you to torment, you become the troll. So much? I remarked that it was annoying. Others seemed to think so too. To which you replied 'NO YOU 1!@4'. If you want me to go through my last one hundred posts and show how your accusation is defensive fantasy the-[to be continued on the next page]. Anyway, I wish you the best and will only post up to your and all these "others" standards from now
