This seems to be an unpopular opinion reading the threads on here, but I honestly really like Avenue Beat, particularly "F2020." I agree with you. In fact F2020 hit #3 on my personal chart. Is that a problem lol

Is that a problem lol New unpopular opinion: Anyone who hates "F2020" is just redirecting their aggression of how crappy 2020 has been at the song haha.

I'm not a big fan of Weak by SMV. I think it sounds pretty dated but not in a charming way and in terms of 90s R&B, I would much rather listen to Erykah Badu or Janet Jackson or even Boyz II Men

If talking about british female singers Leona Lewis is 10x better than Adele. And to be honest "Bleeding Love" is better than anything Adele released.

Rolling in the deep, when we were young and especially water under the bridge say hi. I'm kidding. I do those songs but I just never liked Adele's music. It just doesnt move me

As a lamb, have to say: Firecracker melody flows muuuch better on Jlo's I'm Real than on Loverboy Firecracker version.
But of course, Loverboy Candy version (the one recorded after Jlo stole the sample) is miles better, so underrated.
So thank u J.lo, without you doing dirty, we would never have the Candy version

I can understand some/many of the fans feeling some kind of way about Jason DeRulo not acknowledging BTS for that new remix version being the reason he got the #1 with his current single but they are being far too dramatic and extra about it.

I've said this before, but I think people here give AJR a lot more hate than they deserve. Sure they're "cringy", but a lot of pop music is I really don't think they're too much different from Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, or even some of Taylor Swifts stuff

The current #1 song “Mood” is garb. Generic and the singing isn’t good.

The whole Top ten is garbage. Pop radio is generic with no diversity in this modern day tine.

The more I think about it: stuck with u is way worse than Yummy. Yummy is stupid but stuck with u is corporate bullshit, using the pandemic for a quick buck - and let us never forget the cheap charity stunt they pulled with it. It's the equivalent of soulless corporate pandering and I look forward to seeing it on other worst hit lists

Number one hits arent special anymore. Streaming ruined #1 hits. Fans do all these campaigns to get their artist to #1 and after the hit #1 they freefall of the chart. Today its all about #1 but back in the day it was all about enjoying the art. We will get less and less organic #1's.

While I agree number ones aren't special anymore, I don't think it has anything to do with the songs being less about the art. As many Pulse members have said, chart manipulation has a long history. Only differenece is we're more aware of it now, and it's more consumer driven than corporate.

Songs with long runs in the Top 10 is better than quick turnover times and the Top 10 being constantly bombarded with debuts

Today its all about #1 but back in the day it was all about enjoying the art. We will get less and less organic #1's. These campaigns don't actually impact chart performance much at all. 100 people on stan twitter streaming a 3 minute song on loop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the first week of release would be a grand total of 336k streams. #1 hits are getting 15-20M streams a week. It just not having the impact stan twitter thinks it does.
