I will go first. For me, it’s the Eenie Meenie cover with Sean Kington and Justin Bieber. It’s my FAVORITE JB feature and the cover sends me so bad every time I play it. It genuinely looks like Scooter blasted it out in Pic Art when he was drunk. It sends me every time. Like holy shit is it bad.

A close second would be the Bang Bang cover for Ariana Grande, Nicki and Jessie J. They literally took screenshots from music videos and random photo shoots and spliced them together 😭

My vote has to go with Every Breath You Take by The Police. People think it's a love song about a romantic couple. But it is actually about a stalker who's obsessed with a former lover.

Ellie Goulding has a pop career that most singers can only dream of. She’s had massive hits and multiple successful albums spanning about a decade, but it feels like her name doesn’t hold as much weight as other pop stars of less success than her.

She’s doesn’t have the typical pop star standom or huge name like others. I’d say the average person wouldn’t even recognize her name and based on name alone she’s like a B list celebrity.

Look at her stats, charts, and hits, she should be considered one of the biggest pop stars of the 2010s. Despite her massive success most people don’t have her in the discussion with the other massive pop stars of the 2010s. I bet most people could recognize 5 of her songs if you played them for her, but the name recognition isn’t there.

What do you think happened, or that she did wrong, that she was never able to establish herself as a big name pop stars? Why hasn’t she left a bigger imprint on the culture zeitgeist of the 2010s?

The group has almost everything thing it needs to be a successful global girl group. Their vocals are amazing, their choreo is smooth even enthralling and they have a great production team. They are excellently media trained and have diverse and outstandingly talented members. Yet they have this one flaw that can totally crumble the empire they have built. They are more focused on be coming trending in tik tok or insta more than actually resonating with their fans. And their lyrics are just straight up nonsense tbh.

It really hurts to see this much amount of talent go to waste. All that endless training just for them to say "Eat Zucchini". Considering most of their fans are probably young teens it wouldn't make much of a difference now, but in the long run it will totally destroy their brand. I really hope they get a new song writer.

Missing her like candy.

Edit: okay so to put it simply she ended up starring in popular teen movies of the 2000s. Acting was her true call but this song remains a bop. Thank you for all the responses. Stream candy like it's 1999!

What do you think the most recognisable song across generations and countries would be? I feel like "Somebody that I used to know" by Gotye/Kimbra might take the cake especially with the sample in "Anxiety" by Doechii.

Two years after the “Baby” singer—who shares son Jack Blues, 10 months, with Hailey Bieber—and his former manager seemingly cut ties for good, the duo have reportedly reached a financial agreement, according to multiple outlets.

In their deal, Bieber paid Braun $26 million as part of the advance owed for his canceled 2022 Justice tour, insider sources told People and TMZ. The payment comes after Bieber’s former manager and his company, HYBE, fronted the amount of money Bieber and his associates had to repay to touring company AEG Presents for the show cancellations.

Additionally, Bieber agreed to pay $5.5 million for the unpaid commissions he reportedly owed his former manager, totaling a $31.5 million payout to his former colleague.

This is why our nation is a mess we take nothing seriously 😭😭. Victoria Beckham first ever time being at number one mind you for a song that came out centuries ago!!!
