Atonement

I really like the video. It's sensual and it suits the song. + I was already prepared after seeing the stills and the preview that it would not be very eventful.

'The Life' is alright but honestly I miss the rented rapper. The male parts were my favorite parts of their songs.

Yesss I'm really happy she's releasing a ''double A-side'' over just 'Needed Me'. Dutch radio won't touch 'Needed Me' with a 10 foot long pole and I think 'Kiss It Better' definitely has chance of being playlisted.

The truth has been spoken!!

For me the whole period from 2008-2012 was mostly atrocious. I hated the dance-pop trend as it killed both dance and r&b music and it morphed into one generic genre (my opinion :lol:). I hope I never have to hear someone scream 'Red One' at the beginning of a track again. I'd much rather hear 'Mustard on the beat' :wub: 2010 was a really big year indeed for all those artist but I'm really happy music has shifted. I think pop music right now is just as much fun again as it was in the early 00s.

''confident'' my ass. Her ''confident'' lyrics make her seem so insecure.

I think the song will do alright for us. He has a cute face and a nice, distinctive voice to make up for the quite faceless song. The song itself reminds me a lot (too much) of Whiskeytowns 'Excuse Me While I Break My Own Heart Tonight'.

I used to dislike 'We Found Love'. I quite like it now, minus the instrumental parts which should've been so much more euphoric, and I can see why others like it. But with 'What's My Name?' I just don't really get the mass adoration.

omg I love all the remixes! (except 'Burns Late Night Rollin' Mix').

I knew someone would say this :lol: 'What's My Name?' is definitely her most overrated song eva for me. I like it a bit but I would rank all other singles from 'Loud' and most of her singles discography above it.

Well her second singles are never really her best..

I don't particularly like 'Nothing Like This' (I think 'When the Bassline Drops' is more interesting) but I'm so happy about the comeback Craig David is having! I still have his Greatest Hits album somewhere.

For some reason I find her so unlikable. I can't believe this is doing so well on US iTunes.

New lead singles rank time. 01. Diamonds 02. Umbrella 03. Work 04. Only Girl (In the World) 05. We Found Love 06. Pon de Replay 07. SOS 08. Russian Roulette

05 Kelly Rowland - Work / (Freemasons remix) 10 Rihanna (Ft. Drake) - Work 09 Fifth Harmony - Work From Home 09 Missy Elliot - Work It 07 The Saturdays - Work 06 Ciara (Ft. Missy Elliott) - Work 03 Iggy Azalea - Work 03 Britney Spears - Work Bitch 06 Amerie - Gotta Work 06 Beyonce - Work it Out By the way the feature is missing at 'Work from Home'. Ty Dolla Signs part is actually my favorite bit.

I think this is why the song resonates with so many people!

:lol: And the dress she wears is hideous.

Apparently she's shooting the video for 'Needed Me' in Miami. I can see it being as big as 'Pour It Up' and 'Bitch Better Have My Money' in the US but can it really be a hit internationally?

Currently on its fourth consecutive week at #1 in the US. This ain't doin' half bad!

It's very blah. I have yet to hear a song produced by Zedd that doesn't sound flat and isn't awful. The other 5 songs are all great.

Joining you! 01. Love Me Harder 02. One Last Time 03. Focus 04. Dangerous Woman 05. Problem 06. Break Free DW already grew and I would rate it above 'Problem' too now. I don't think it will ever top OLT or LMH for me but it could overtake 'Focus'.

I'm really happy she's performing , and . Although the European leg will probably be different.

This was the setlist from yesterday's opening night apparently:

On first listen I don't really hear what everyone else is hearing. In terms of singles I'd only rank it above 'Break Free' for now.

Great results so far and I'm pleased that 'High by the Beach' seems to be the next to go. Awful song and should've left sooner (at least before 'Gods and Monsters', 'Brooklyn Baby' and 'Dark Paradise').
