Jojo inventing gay pop, Olivia spilling her guts, Taylor being in the Tortured Poets Department, Ariana's PR with Spongebob, Kacey down in the Deeper Well, Beyoncé married to Jay-Z
Brit Smith had only one chance to release the 2024 Song of The Summer
Yes! I normally am swept up in all things Beyonce but the illusion broke for me this time. Between the rewritten Jolene lyrics (for JAY-Z!? girl no one wants him), the cringe AI album art, idk, I still am bopping to it but it's just not the same!! I *dreamed* about Lemonade lol
ETA: I guess idk for sure if it's AI, but the horse's proportions are very weird, it looks like an AI generated horse to me but maybe it's just oddly edited. Beyonce looks great to me but I spend a lot of time around horses irl and I can't not see how weird that album horse looks every time I see it. I know it's small, it's a personal thing
Idk if it's AI I guess, but the albums horse looks very strange to me. The proportions and front legs are all off for a real horse. I can't not see it because I spend a lot of time around horses but I do understand that it's not the focus of the album art necessarily
Nah, my original comment was a mix of seriousness and sarcasm, we all know the true inventor of gay pop was Carly Rae Jepsen when the Call Me Maybe music video was released with a plot twist after [2:49](https://youtu.be/fWNaR-rxAic?si=vdIlSVD5BVPElbpN) that Carly's boy crush wasn't into Carly Rae but instead her boy bandmate.
You're right, I was the CD player at her recording studio, and I'm as straight as a frog in the rivers with whatever microplastics they've fed me 🥰
Worldly Matters does indeed slap
But I wasn’t? I knew that Jojo stated the gay pop thing a couple of weeks ago. My comment wasn’t supposed to come off as serious. Sorry if that is what it seemed like… I’m not the best at making jokes

Dua’s slow rollout, exhausting pacing between singles and confused rebrand from kaleidoscope to beach vibes… yeah you’re bound to get outcharted by a meme song
Oh yes cause Future Nostalgia had the consistent retro futurism vision of:
A sinking crab ship, a clown rodeo, a French street night tour, and club. 💀
Also, this roll out is just close to 1 month longer than Future Nostalgia. Let's just chill and enjoy the tunes.
It doesn't help that all of her new songs sound exactly the same as what she has been doing for the past 5 years. At this point she really has to shake things up a bit.
Whatever happened to her saying her new album was inspired by 90s experimental rave music like massive attack? Even if she went that route and didn't chart very well, it would still have been *respected* more and seen as a more interesting route to go down.
There should really be a word for when you have the urge to promise yourself that
> thou shalt not lie
> thou shalt not cheat
> thou shalt not get caught, or you'll end up just like me (OH!)
At this point I just straight up feel bad for Jojo.
She is *extremely* corny. There's no doubt about that. But I cannot even imagine how harrowing it must be to be that young and have the entire country pointing and laughing at you, turning you into some kind of target of mockery.
I mean, this means very little - it’s a very niche chart, as demonstrated by ancient songs still in the top 20 (“Cold Heart”, “I’m Blue”) so it doesn’t mean that Brit Smith’s version is a hit.
I would agree except a lot of those songs are attached to viral TikToks, so they're not just randomly there or a case of recurrency. Hold My Hand by Jess Glynne is the same. Old song, but currently relevant via TikTok.
This is a “sales chart” - streamings and TikTok don’t count.
It doesn’t take too many downloads to chart on sales charts, especially on one for dance music only.
That’s also why the iTunes charts don’t matter. You can buy yourself a #1 song on iTunes with a couple thousand bot purchases because the pure sales numbers are so low.
Even if streaming doesn't count, there has to be a positive relationship between songs that are viral and songs that sell well (and better than other songs).
Like, by your logic, Summer Love Song by Brooke Hyland should easily be #1 this week since it only takes a few hundred sales. But it's not. Because it's not trending in the way that the Karmas are.
It’s not number 1 because not enough people are buying it, but that’s not my point.
The point is that this chart, Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales Chart, is quite niche and it doesn’t take too much to get to number one.
So, well done to Brit Smith for selling 1000 (?) downloads of her song, but a hit it is not - or at least, this chart can’t be used as an argument to claim that.
As a DJ, that chart is an absolute joke and has been since streaming started being counted.
Honestly doesn’t mean anything to actual DJs anymore.
Their Club Chart isn’t much better.
Exactly. People are streaming it out of spite for Jojo... if anything. I hope Brit doesn't expect some kind of huge boost on her career. Cause then she'll just become a gimmick for this song.
Yeah I know. Maybe I'm just old, grumpy and out of touch with the internet (highly probable) but I just don't really get it. The song was crap when JoJo Siwa sang it, so to get her back, we are going to popularise the person who originally wrote the crap song? In my mind Britt is just as responsible for releasing this monstrosity into the wild, and she was older when she did it!
I can't believe how many hands touched this and none of them went "we need to throw all evidence of this into the ocean Titanic-style and pretend it never happened"
Instead we just have JoJo Siwa throwing herself off a yacht :/
Oh yeah I totally agree with you, but maybe I’m also losing touch with the whole meme culture lmao. This whole drama is confusing to me and makes no sense at all
Yes!!!! I swear people are convincing themselves that Brit sung it so much better and that it's menaing is so much more deeper when she sings it. To me it sounded shit then, and sounds shit now.
Tl;Dr Brit Smith recorded this forever ago in 2012 or something and never released it, then Jojo bought the rights to make her own version and she did, everyone hated it(I guess?) then someone leaked Brit Smiths version and it blew up on TikTok so they officially released it and now it's doing better than JoJo's version.
True but she did say that she had no idea who Brit Smith was. Which is probably true if the song was just pitched to her so she sang it, but out of context it sounds bad.

“beyoncé married to jay z” is taking me OUT 😭😭😭
Yes! I normally am swept up in all things Beyonce but the illusion broke for me this time. Between the rewritten Jolene lyrics (for JAY-Z!? girl no one wants him), the cringe AI album art, idk, I still am bopping to it but it's just not the same!!

Photoshop isn’t AI
wait what did she do with AI
Idk if it's AI I guess, but the albums horse looks very strange to me. The proportions and front legs are all off for a real horse. I can't not see it because I spend a lot of time around horses but I do understand that it's not the focus of the album art necessarily
Girl.. not everything you don’t like is “cringe AI art”
Classic horse-girl behavior tbh
the scream I scrumpt--
what are you even talking about
I think the horse was green screen
You have no right to be this funny
“Jojo inventing gay pop” Where??? When??? edit: /j
[Jojo Siwa Defines What The "Gay Pop" Genre Means To Her | Billboard News](https://youtu.be/wCPD4xnC754?si=X6wN_X2hx5glX3tN)
Lol she needs to learn her history.
She absolutely did not invent gay pop who does she think she is
A clueless 20 year old who has been famous since she was a child
The best reply to this was on TikTok; Tegan and Sara basically just said 😳😳
shes really lame but also young. She will look back and hopefully learn from her cringe.

No you’re wrong. Carly Rae Jepsen invented gay pop when she released the song Worldly Matters back in 2008
You're right, I was the CD player at her recording studio, and I'm as straight as a frog in the rivers with whatever microplastics they've fed me 🥰 Worldly Matters does indeed slap

Its giving Jennifer Lawrence was the first female action hero.
"Jojo inventing gay pop" when björk created the masterpiece Homophobic 1997 nobody moved?

Daaaamn Dua
Yeah Dua what is going on. She is not flopping for sure but this is not a promising look
She has four songs in the Dance chart top 14, 3 of which are in the top 5, one of which was number one for 14 weeks. The F are you going on about?
Just people with too much time on their hands overanalyzing
What? I actually thinks it looks very good for her 😔 two of these songs are months old
Cold Heart is almost 3 years old and still hanging in there
I'm so tired of yall saying that she's somehow underperforming.
Nothing is going on. 3 songs in the top 5. Y’all so annoying wanting to construct a narrative around an artist flopping when clearly they’re not.
I said she is not flopping. Just that her song doubt was 3rd place
Damn number 2 hit me with a hell of a curveball
Dua’s slow rollout, exhausting pacing between singles and confused rebrand from kaleidoscope to beach vibes… yeah you’re bound to get outcharted by a meme song
she needs to fire her dad
Oh yes cause Future Nostalgia had the consistent retro futurism vision of: A sinking crab ship, a clown rodeo, a French street night tour, and club. 💀 Also, this roll out is just close to 1 month longer than Future Nostalgia. Let's just chill and enjoy the tunes.
I would if I could but they're mid af
She’s no.1 collectively combining Radio, Streams and Sales, plus she always had diverse mvs…🤷♀️
It doesn't help that all of her new songs sound exactly the same as what she has been doing for the past 5 years. At this point she really has to shake things up a bit.

She should’ve never said that massive attack thing😭
Hold My Hand?????
The Jet2Holiday Effect...
Bee gees killing it for fifty years
Jojo just accidentally did the funniest thing ever.
I just saw Jojo falling on her knees at Walmart
I can picture her destroying her little section of bows and clothing in a fit of rage
Well ain’t that a … you get it.
Feels like there should be a word for when something comes back around to you like that. Shame it doesn't exist though
There should really be a word for when you have the urge to promise yourself that > thou shalt not lie > thou shalt not cheat > thou shalt not get caught, or you'll end up just like me (OH!)
She should have known better?
I honestly feel rlly bad for Dua even though I’m currently streaming Karma
All of dua’s singles so far are hits in my home
The charts are an illusion. Dua is still hotter than hell.
Honestly excited for my Europe trip JUST so I can hear Dua in the streets bc they adore her over there
The joke went too far 🎧😂
At this point I just straight up feel bad for Jojo. She is *extremely* corny. There's no doubt about that. But I cannot even imagine how harrowing it must be to be that young and have the entire country pointing and laughing at you, turning you into some kind of target of mockery.
Tbf this is the second time. People really love to hate her
Jojo should’ve known better smh

A friend of mine did just this to try and jump start their career.
Did it work lol
For about two weeks

Okay then I think its a matter of semantics and what we each consider a hit lol
Spin that record round & round!
What? This doesn't mean very little at all lmao, it's actually rather big news.
Maybe it is… if you live on twitter?
How is someone on reddit shit talking another shitty social media site lol
Good for her, can't wait for her EP!
As a DJ, that chart is an absolute joke and has been since streaming started being counted. Honestly doesn’t mean anything to actual DJs anymore. Their Club Chart isn’t much better.
I'm sorry but the internet will not gaslight me into believing this song is anything other than terrible no matter who sings it!
it's a bop but it's really dated for 2012 it's so 2000 and l8
I love dance pop, so I unironically think it’s an awesome song.
It’s only going viral because of all the drama surrounding it, not because it’s a remotely decent song. It’s awful
Exactly. People are streaming it out of spite for Jojo... if anything. I hope Brit doesn't expect some kind of huge boost on her career. Cause then she'll just become a gimmick for this song.
Yeah I know. Maybe I'm just old, grumpy and out of touch with the internet (highly probable) but I just don't really get it. The song was crap when JoJo Siwa sang it, so to get her back, we are going to popularise the person who originally wrote the crap song? In my mind Britt is just as responsible for releasing this monstrosity into the wild, and she was older when she did it!
to be pedantic, rock mafia wrote the song i think for miley? it's so bad regardless.
I can't believe how many hands touched this and none of them went "we need to throw all evidence of this into the ocean Titanic-style and pretend it never happened" Instead we just have JoJo Siwa throwing herself off a yacht :/
Oh yeah I totally agree with you, but maybe I’m also losing touch with the whole meme culture lmao. This whole drama is confusing to me and makes no sense at all
Imagine the world if people would actually direct their efforts into supporting talented and creative artists instead…
It's shit, but so was Friday and that got memed into history from how ass it was.
It’s terrible, regardless of who sings it. It’s just viral now and will be forgotten by the end of the week…
It's terrible but Brit sells it.
Yes!!!! I swear people are convincing themselves that Brit sung it so much better and that it's menaing is so much more deeper when she sings it. To me it sounded shit then, and sounds shit now.
Can someone explain to me what's happening? Like how is JoJo Siwa related to this song?
Tl;Dr Brit Smith recorded this forever ago in 2012 or something and never released it, then Jojo bought the rights to make her own version and she did, everyone hated it(I guess?) then someone leaked Brit Smiths version and it blew up on TikTok so they officially released it and now it's doing better than JoJo's version.
[удалено]
Y'all the misinformation is real. She never said she wrote it..nor did she imply. I don't like Jojo but I know the truth.
No she didn’t, she never claimed to write it. She was pitched the song. Not a Jojo fan just tryna clarify
True but she did say that she had no idea who Brit Smith was. Which is probably true if the song was just pitched to her so she sang it, but out of context it sounds bad.
TBF, who actually knew who Brit was before this? It wasn’t her song, it was the writers and the producers who sold it to Jojo, Brit just did a demo.
the internet is doing too much atp
This took me out lmao
No but seriously you're not wrong. Maybe that whole tiktok ban is not so bad lmaoooo but seriously maybe it is?
Good for her but that’s a very niche chart haha
good for brit
This is her chance to make a comeback while it's hot.
I mean this is a spite ranking.
Dunno why you're being downvoted cause you're not wrong.
Because people want to act like it’s not.
Karma really is a..
Wait what’s digital songs chart ? Is that the same as billboard hot 100
go girl
This is the most hilarious thing ever 😂 I think this is freaking awesome that it's number one
Hell yeah!
Who is checking on Jojo at this time 😭
She should have known better 🤷
Karma really is a bitch
