Hit Different was whack, so I'm glad the Good days looks like its gonna do well, because it's really good.

"Hit Different" was the warm-up, "Good Days" is the game opener. An appetizer, a first course.  :kii:

While I love both songs and generally like SZA's music, I just wish I could listen to her songs without having to pull up the lyrics because she doesn't enunciate well enough for me when she's singing. I don't know when not saying words well became a style of singing but I mostly have difficulty making out most of the lyrics on most of her songs. I hope she fixes that sh*t on her album.

It'd be nice if the R&B girlies had a great 2021. H.E.R. is also supposed to release her debut album (FINALLY) this year.

Speaking of R&B girls having a great year, SZA's on top of AM with Good Days! As someone who doesn't have much experience with R&B it's a great song. I think I'll listen to CRTL and Chilombo soon (I listened to P*$$y Fairy after it was on a few lists and really liked it two).

Tipsy by Chloe x Halle to be huge in 2021 please.

[m450n]

I'd just like to point out how cool it is to see women topping these streaming charts. Since WAP topped Spotify and AM we've seen positions singles, willow, RATCT & AIWFCIY, SZA and Megan Thee Stallion singles doing big numbers too.

Anyone doesn’t have a radio deal either, but I believe she will surpass him tomorrow 

[otaviohmg]

I can't explain how much i'm happy to see her doing good and successful music. Grammy and many other awards need to stop being petty and recognize the quality she bringing since day 1.

It still means a lot, lol. Megan is a good example of that. Yes, she had seen success with her EPs and mixtapes but people kept waiting for her debut album to get a good feel for where she was commercially, seeing as she's a mainstream artist. Same with Jack Harlow. Same with Normani and how it's such a huge deal with her fans that she hasn't released her debut solo album yet and how she's beating herself up about it, trying to make it perfect. Albums, especially debut albums, mean a lot to artists. It's like a way of announcing that you've finally commenced your career/building your catalog of work.

H.E.R. especially has been making a big deal of her debut album. I've wondered why she opted to release a bunch of EPs up until now but apparently, she's been working to make the best possible debut album she can make.

thx for explaining to me what a debut album means to artists. what I meant by that was her "debut" album clearly won't be her "debut" era, that's all.

OK I get Bruno but this is the first time I've ever seen someone refer to Cardi as traditionally talented lmao. Especially while discrediting an artist who won 2 Grammys in her first era and is not now nominated for 6 more.

I think we know what that user was trying to do, and it just came out as a boring, stiff comment.

Chances are that H.E.R. receive a Lifetime Achievement Grammy before her debut comes out.

*4th. The Weekend actually peaked higher than Love Galore, it's just a shame it got caught in between years. You can also make an argument for Hit Different being a hit, it's had a very underwhelming run but it still debuted in the Top 40.

and "love galore", "the weekend", "broken clocks", "homemade dynamite", "just us", "power is power", "the other side", "hit different", "i do", and "staring at the sun"... so her 13th hot 100 hit

What do you mean? She got a huge amount of Grammy nods with her first album, and of course, "All the Stars". They clearly like her and if and when she drops her next project she'll probably be well represented again.

It's hard to argue that she had to win when she was against huge cultural behemoths like "This is America", "That's What I Like" and "Shallow". Maybe she deserved BNA over Alessia Cara, but it's such a dumb award anyways. 80% of the time one of the nominees ends up being a bigger deal than the actual winner anyways. She's #2 on Spotify while Alessia had trouble reaching #200 with her singles on the same chart, so she won anyways lol.

"All the Stars" was a worthy winner for the movie song categories but it had the bad luck of going up against "Shallow"; in most other years it would have been the biggest movie song by a mile.

[Groovy]

I honestly SZA to have sort of mainstream career after Love Galore and All the Stars but I'm glad she's getting more hits now lets see it un-seat Anyone on the top of the Spotify charts.

[wavey.]

SZA has had a good chart record/start for an R&B artist. She gradually grew within her debut era. I mean hell, "CTRL" is still charting after 2 yrs.

Since I brought up Blinding Lights making it next year, I just realized how rare it is for a chart topping song to repeat, Shape of You and Rolling in the Deep both did it but the last time it happened before that was Candle in the Wind 1997 in 97/98.

I was so sure that you're wrong because I Gotta Feeling charted two years, then I realised BBP was #1, and IGF was only #4 on the Year End chart. How was it #5 on the 2000-2009 Decade End Chart but only #4 for the 2009 Year End? Real chart points vs inverse point system?

I don't know the actual points but I Gotta Feeling didn't start charting until June while Boom Boom Pow was charting since March, Poker Face was charting since January and Just Dance was charting since 2008. Also I Gotta Feeling had a longer run than those songs that stretched until 2010.

Anyone by Bieber is #1 on iTunes, it's about to become the Blinding Lights of 2021. Yeah, people need to chill with those predictions.
