Ariana Grande’s new album ‘petal’ debuts with 62,194,069 filtered streams on Spotify, her 2nd biggest debut behind ‘thank u, next’. I’m so happy the album is a smash. I can definitely see it being a positions-level grower.
She also reaches #1 on the Spotify global charts for the first time! It was a given really, but might as well add it 😂
It’s certainly not among her best albums in my opinion but it wouldn’t shock me if this ends up being one of those “appreciated years later album.” It’s doing incredible on Apple Music, partially because HTIMYLM is a bigger hit worldwide than even WCBF was off the last album.
I’m in the minority that really enjoyed this album on first listen. It’s not my favorite of all her albums, but it’s probably in the top 3 for me. I’ve been replaying Like I Do and Oh Well to death lol.
Crazy that TUN still is her biggest opening. She really was *the* moment.
I really enjoyed the album but I do think her diction could be a lot better. Petal has also been stuck in my head all day she put crack in that song
Warner Bros. is reportedly negotiating with Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling for a “BARBIE” sequel. If no deal is reached by December, the sequel rights will revert to Mattel. The big hold-up is that David Zaslav is currently refusing to pay what they're demanding, calling it “too generous.”

Not that I don’t trust Gerwig or Robbie’s judgement anymore, but I really hope that there being a compelling enough story to drive a sequel is the number one factor here.
Didn’t Mattel already make a deal with Illumination for an animated film or am I imagining that?
Preliminary talks about Barbie 2 before the rights revert back to Mattel are at a standstill because David Zazlav,not this guy again, doesn't want to give Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie the salaries they're demanding, and Greta Gerwig doesn't want to give them any plot details until she can be guaranteed that the movie is happening
I didn’t mind the first movie, but is Barbie 2 really something that people are asking for?
Very exciting!
James Somerton is shaking right now/s. But I’m interested in this lol. I like the concept I need to read the book!
The stars of Off campus have recently been “outed” as maga and people are somehow surprised.
I make fun of their surprised reaction because in my opinion a shoe that can be accurately referred to or summarized as just “the straight hockey show” is obviously going to be one that probably attracts a lot of magats.
Also for some reason one sub referred to stephen kalyn as being the “internet’s boyfriend” which is like blatantly untrue.

I’m not sure any hockey gets played in this show it’s romance stuff like the summer i turned pretty
I'm somewhat surprised by Jalen Thomas Brooks because The Pitt is very much an anti-MAGA show but at the same time nothing should surprise me anymore.
ADÉLA's "Ain't In LA" reaches a new peak of #122 on the global Spotify chart with 1.503 million streams.
