She is like 31 years old...
Looks like K & Q won’t go top 10. This girl seem to have bad luck. When SBP went top 10 it was blocked from going farther by what I forget and it only went top 10 for like a week. This song is starting peak at pop and will be blocked for the next 3 weeks by Christmas songs. I mean....

Any word on the Kings and Queens follow up? I hope it’s “Naked”. It’s pleasantly addictive.

No one can argue that Ava's debut era is messy as hell. Still she gave us bop after bop and i hope her team & label will handle her next era much better.

Ava Max becomes the best-performing female artist ever on Polish Radio Airplay Hot 100, surpassing Dua Lipa. It's worth noting that she only has 8 chart entries there but the longevity surely did wonders I have to point out that unfortunately we don't have a proper equivalent of Billboard Hot 100 chart which would include streaming/sales, so this airplay chart is considered the official Polish music chart. Ava's chart entries and their peaks: 1. Sweet But Psycho - peak: #1 for 1 week 2. So Am I - peak: #1 for 5 consecutive weeks3. Torn - peak: #3 for 1 week 4. Alone, Pt. II (Alan Walker & Ava Max; she's credited as a lead) - peak: #4 for 2 weeks 5. Salt - peak: #1 for 3 consecutive weeks 6. Kings & Queens - peak: #1 for 2 consecutive weeks 7. Who's Laughing Now - peak: #1 for 3 consecutive weeks 8. My Head & My Heart - peak: #5 (as of week ending March 12) MH&MH has just become Ava's 8th top 5 hit.

I gave Ms. Ava's album a spin today and really enjoyed it. I don't know why they tried to make "So am I" happen though. Easily the weakest track on the project.

She would have to be for them to allow "So Am I" five weeks at #1.

thatgrapejuice.net/2021/03/ava-max-talks-lady-gaga-comparisons-says-she-thought-was-going-mariah-carey/Ava Max Talks Lady Gaga Comparisons, Says She “Thought It Was Going To Be Mariah Carey” “They only compare women first of all, but I get it. The blonde hair, the pop music, the theatrics, we are both 5’2. I could go on and on. I get it. She is incredible, so it is an honor.” “Never in a million years would I thought they would compare me to Lady Gaga and then it just started all of a sudden, I was like ‘that’s so cool,’ I thought it was gonna be like, Mariah Carey.” Ok, she's talented and have some cool songs, but thinking herself that she was going to be compared to Mariah, isn't it a bit delusional? Fans, do you have any songs of hers that can justify that Mariah thought? From the songs I've heard that by now may be 10+ perhaps, I've thought several times of a Gaga imitation, not Mariah.

Fans, do you have any songs of hers that can justify that Mariah thought? From the songs I've heard that by now may be 10+ perhaps, I've thought several times of a Gaga imitation, not Mariah. I would NOT compare her to Mariah, but if it were a spectrum (which it isn't), I'd say her musical style is closer to uptempo Mariah tracks than Lady Gaga bops. This is probably largely due to the fact that she samples older pop hits a lot, not at all related to her vocal talent. I think I get where she's coming from. In the full clip from an interview that I watched, she was pointing out how she was instantly compared to Lady Gaga in a quite sexist way, based solely on her looks. Blond, short girl in pop wearing costume-y outfits: "she's the next Lady Gaga". Their musical and vocal styles are quite different if you take the time to listen to her music, but obviously once "Sweet but Psycho" blew up, she was deemed a "Lady Gaga impersonator" and it stuck. (Which was weird to me back then, too—I could justify a Britney comparison or a Kesha comparison more than a Gaga comparison, sonically. Vocal style-wise, however, I think she's in a more Dua Lipa/Rita Ora/early Rihanna territory.) I've been a fan of Gaga for more than 10 years at this point and I'm excited to follow Ava's career. I think it's just a weird question to ask an artist "what do you think of __ comparisons?" during an interview and it rarely happens to male artists. A better question would have been something like "Where do you draw inspiration from?" or "Which artists have influenced the kind of music you make?" etc. TL;DR—she's probably sick of hearing she's compared to Gaga, and threw Mariah's name as more of a "this is where I get my inspiration" kind of way.

I dunno, I think "Sweet but Psycho" and "Salt" sound like they would fit perfectly on The Fame. "So Am I" too (but as, like, a Japanese exclusive or something lol). I think she definitely has some tracks that help differentiate her, though. "My Head & My Heart" especially doesn't sound like a Gaga track, and neither do tracks like "Naked" or "Torn."
That being said, I don't hear Mariah at all on anything she's ever done lol. I'd compare her style to Madonna way before Mariah, and even then that's not a good comparison. Definitely agree Rita Ora/early Dua Lipa are apt comparisons. I do believe she is starting to find her sound too, which will help solidify her identity similar to how Dua solidified hers with Future Nostalgia.

I think the hypothetical Mariah comparison would be between their whistle notes. Of course they’re on two different levels, but they both do it. That’s my guess

To be fair, she is compared to Mariah in that they're both allegedly one year older than their "online ages" say 😉 atrl.net/forums/topic/339389-ava-max-turns-unverified-age-today/Ava and Mariah say that they were born in 1994 and 1970 respectively, but the evidence points to 1993 and 1969. (The "Finally reached legal age (to claim her pension) :clap3:" post in that thread lives rent-free in my head tbh 💀) no shade tho, Ava has my support

“Everytime I Cry” is ok, but she had so many other potential radio hits on the album. I don’t understand why they didn’t push ‘OMG What’s Happening” or ‘Who’s Laughing Now’ to US radio instead of making new singles. I think her management company needs to reign her in a bit if she wants to achieve the level of success she seems to want.

Ugh, Naked deserved to be in the top 4 of her most-streamed songs.
And EveryTime I Cry is good! You can right away see the difference in sound between this and Heaven & Hell. I already know European radios will eat this up.
