BIG POP GIRLS 2021 - THE FINALE

[happiestgirl]

Listening to the playlist on shuffle and some of these Olivia songs...

 

[GimmeWork]

Excellent choices! They really were the dominant ones this year. I love it that many of them would have been in alt pop gurl rates in previous years, but 2021 proved more than ever that the alt gurls are mainstream. There's much I love on all of these records but Doja and Halsey really hit it out of the park imo.

Trying to pick between tolerate it and marjorie for 11 might very well kill me. Finally!

Looking forward to listening to 3-4 albums I've never heard of in a drunken two-day haze again!

The way the daily artist reveals had me thinking a 6th would be revealed today before the rate started, I was fully expecting it to be Lil Nas X, to leave the gaggiest reveal for last dd. But this is really a great line-up, evermore, Happier Than Ever, If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power and Planet Her are among my favourite albums of the year (or, well, of 2020 in evermore's case), and SOUR, while not quite on the same level in my opinion, is still pretty great.

An ad for Diana the Musical on this page just feels right

A couple of other things:

1. It's a shame Halsey's People Disappear Here isn't in the rate, because it's really great, but I guess it not being either on Spotify or Youtube would make it a bit inconvenient.

2. Kind of funny how last year Chromatica, Future Nostalgia and Smile made for half the rate, and yet this year none of the girls are serving anything even close to dance-pop.

Songs I suspect will be done dirty

 

[happiestgirl]

@aux I appreciate Not My Responsibility not being in the rate. I can't stand rating interludes/spoken-word pieces.

Raise your tens for those of us who can’t even parallel park.

Evermore is lucky that there's not a Top-10-dominating, Future Nostalgia type of album this year, because she doesn't have a wildcard like August to shoot into the Top5 nn. I guess No Feature No Haim will be its best bet though. *turns alerts off*

Billie ... I gotta tune my mumbling to a whole different frequency

I'm tickled that the narrative around which BPGs would make the cut seemed to show more support for Lil Nas X than Adele... as it should. Sometimes I genuinely love it here. <3

 

[evilsin]

I like or love 4 of the 5 albums and I didn't listen to Doja's because of Dr.*uke. Although I did learn that his involvement is very scarce on this one, so I'm going to rate it with a less narrow mindset.

I'm pretty sure Adele would have tanked bad had she been included. I'm certainly glad she wasn't.

Oxy and I am Not a Woman are definitely in contention for mine. Whew! The way they absolutely go off and already feel classic at the same time.

As much as I enjoyed most of the music in these albums, I don't know if anything here is an 11.

RIP in peace Mood Ring.
