I know she hasn’t had a hit in a few years, but still I’m really shocked by her streaming numbers considering she’s one of those people that is always in the news the last 5-6 years. And had quite a few big hits…
And she only has one song with a billion streams. I know streams aren’t everything but considering how she has been everywhere in media since 2019 I’m just surprised that her streams are like this.
His 80s period gets a lot of haze and I honestly don’t understand why. Hotter than July is an undisputed class at that mini say would have been considered a part of his classic era had had not been for the plants album.
So many killer tracks on that one I mean… rocket love, master blaster, Ain’t gonna stand for it, cash in your face. And then in 1982 he had that girl, do I do, and front line. Which I think are three of his all-time best tracks.
I like a lot of the stuff on in square circle I feel like it’s just a fun album. Land of Lala and part-time lover and it’s wrong. Plus overjoyed it is one of his best ballads in my opinion. I just love the whole sound of that album. Even if maybe it was a little too poppy for some people.
I understand he did make some cheesy stuff like I just called to say I love you or the Ebony and Ivory collab. But I think he made a lot of really good music in the 80s and I just don’t understand why this was seen as a low period for him.
