Remember to take the poll and tell me how you feel about the work I'm doing
I was on break and I'll had tons of fun showing my friend around NYC
This week I ordered all my Christmas presents on Amazon, spent a thousand dollars online buying furniture, and did laundry for the first time since moving to the new apartment. Oh, yeah, and some Genius stuff too!

It's Barbie, b*tches! Nicki Minaj's album The Pinkprint dropped last week around the world (and in the US today), so that's been my main focus. Her songs are on point, we're winning most of the searches, and right now I'm working with the rap staffers to turn up the quality and make people want to stay on the site longer. I postletted on rap, put together this microsite, updated the tracklist, fixed some transcription errors, and stalked Nicki on twitter for updates. I also messaged some Nicki superstars to start coaching them. I'm in love with all the new contributors I found
I also posted a new Pop Priorities thread on our forum: y'all quickly helped me update Chali XCX's lyrics according to the official lyrics we got from her team, and the UK folks are helping us backfill a meme UK album that we missed a few weeks ago. Go pop team!
