only cause of streaming. If streaming was around in the 00s GRODT or those early Em albums would probably still hold all records lol rap barely had a #1 record this decade until 2016

She’s chasing a Grammy last two albums

So that’s why she seems lost

Before 2010 she was a sweet country singer

But still the music stepped up a lot imo this decade

But I absolutely respect your opinion you know your music

2000s is a great time for genres coming together too. it's easier for fans now cos of streaming, but some of the new scenes and cultures being put together in the 2000s would have been crazy at the time

That's true. I remember one time she was sad she didn't win aoty, but said "guess I just have to make a better album next time."

I think she wants to go down in history, but she might be trying a little too hard sometimes

she's always been a grammy favourite i thought anyway?

i just mean songs really, i'm not a big country fan but i think her older songwriting has more personality

i think she'll get AOTY for folklore unless they give it to some artist or genre they've snubbed in the past. they've done that so many times, there's bands from the 60s that didn't start getting grammys till they were washed up in the 80s lol

That’s why she needs to go back to 1989 vibes

Lover and folklore are both great albums she’s incapable of making a bad album with her songwriting abilities but she’s not going for it atm

Right. Some artists are such amazing vocalists or writers they'll never end up with a truly bad album. She's one of them.

I think going back to her 1989, Red type of vibes would be helpful, but I won't be mad if she doesn't. She may be past that tbh. I always get mad at people saying Usher needs to go back to his Confessions sound, so I can't be a hypocrite and say she needs to go back to her magnum opus too lol

I think she just needs to focus on creating a masterpiece like she was before and she'll be able to squeeze out one or two more huge eras like that and have the critical acclaim and quality too. She's got a huge and loyal fanbase, so she'll be fine either way

i didn't mean in sales. just in general relevance. for younger fans hip hop has dominated over everything. that was probably true in the 2000s too. but there's some genres which have completely fallen out the conversation for younger people. the arctic monkeys could compete with any US rapper in the uk in the mid 2000s for younger fans, now no rock band would come close. the same with soul/r&b and amy winehouse. at her peak she could compete over here with us or uk rapper.

i'm just talking about the uk there tho. that whole ye thing of 'rappers the new rockstars' was true in the 2000s, but now it's more like for youth culture they're the only rockstars if that makes sense

2010s easy for drake alone

2000s had say what's real and best i ever had at least

2010s by far. The best decade ever in music

2010s easily wtf.. 2010s was like another 90s

I’m waiting for the counter proof

2000s babies saying 2010. Only explanation

Back then they didn’t want want me

Now I’m hot

Even better

Okay I’ll expose myself and admit listening for the first time

early 2010s

No harm done, just listen and admire :word:

It’s really good but I like I Love It more

2000s

2000s

1989 prob my favorite followed by Folklore

10s

and no doubt it's the 10s for most of us here
