@ttpdkilledhmhas@pearlmuffins Hahaha:
1) Shakira is a legend with a career of more than 30 years. Ariana is not.
2) There’s no payola, the song is #1 in YouTube and in a lot of countries.
3) There’s more than 15 WorldCup Songs. None have reached this milestone.

@BaigFarhan11@lipaxchinouriri I think Watcha Doing with a killer video would’ve served as the perfect lead as the bridge between the albums. Then Houdini, and the singles we got.
Remember how Break My Heart peaked at 13 after DSN? Well, Houdini could’ve still peaked at 11 or even higher as a 2nd single.
@BaigFarhan11@lipaxchinouriri No, I disagree.
Houdini wasn’t a top 10 hit on the Hot 100. Great song, yes, but a lot of people weren’t not feeling it as much when it came out bc it felt different than FN.
Training Season and Illusion both underperformed too so Watcha Doing as the 4th makes no sense.
@theuusany She’s really talented and her music is great, but she overuses darkness, satanic references and shock value to sell it and it gets annoying after a while, especially when she doesn’t need that.
@BaigFarhan11@lipaxchinouriri I agree, and I also think it’s the hit that got away and actually should’ve been the lead single with an amazing video as a perfect way to transition from the FN era into RO.
@arisxsunshine You know I’m not even a fan of hers, I even hate on her but this is ridiculous. Mayhem was amazing and the vision, concept and everything was better than anything else released in 2025. She’s also improved so much in so many areas.
Your taste has declined, not her artistry.
