The only thing missing from this comment is the "-A"
Your comment is my internal monologue reacting to my OCD
This is a violent attack and I love.
this is so violent and it’s everything
“she really is serving and she is slaying and i know some people are going to be mad about that but you need to deal with that by yourselves”
the perfect end to any chain business email
@@kuro-kuromi32 LMAO !!! omg corporations found served
In the zone is 1000% galactic slay.
I'm more mad about him using AAVE (and yes it's AAVE, not Gen Z language, not internet lingo, not White gay language, it's AAVE and must be recognised as such).

“I dressed up as Joanne album cover”
“So you dressed as a flop”
THIS SENT ME 💀💀💀
That album has a Grammy it ain't even a flop😭. Million reasons, Perfect Illusion and John wayne are great songs
I mean . . . in my opinion an album by anyone who GOES OUT OF THEIR WAY to work with known sex offenders and rapists, has a history of plagiarism and needs people to puke paint on them to be interesting . . . is a flop and always will be.
@@iTeacupPanda ... may i ask what your talking about? if your talking about her song with r kelly she took it off ALL platforms and streaming services once the allegations about him came out and took a stand with the victims
@@mushmush2874 See girl here is why . . . not to be insulting, you know NOTHING.
The allegations about him came out in the fucking early 90's before Gaga was even a thing during the height of her being raised and during her childhood.
He was being made fun of for being a sex offender in the EARLY 2000's on multiple pop culture shows and news since the 90's like The Dave Chapelle show for example for urinating on a teenage girl sexually AND in the 90's was caught trying to MARRY Aaliyah who was 15 at the time at sea ONTOP of multiple other allegations.
Also WHEN does a twitter apology ONCE absolve ANYONE. Name one other person who could issue just a simple apology and everyone be like " okay " ?
She went OUT OF HER WAY to work with him knowing he was controversial that is why she wanted him on that track.
ALSO are we pretending she wasn't besties with Terry Richardson up until a handful of years ago when he was finally COMPLETELY blacklisted? ( After like a decade and a half of him being a known predator )
@@mushmush2874 yea the R Kelly song was recorded before the whole case went public. Gaga went all the way to rerecord the song with Christina instead. Though, i like the R kelly version of Do What You Want more. It felt complete.
Born to Die definitely deserved Galactic Slay, and let me tell you why: 1. Obvi it's an interpretation of American Gothic. 2. The subtle detail of the red bikini under the white shirt adds a layer of promiscuity that elevates it beyond the Milky Way and all the way to The Heavens in a way that we don't deserve.
YES
thank you i was bothered and upset about this
and let's not mention the interslayfullness with lust for life because the truck in the background of born to serve is literally in the same slayful album cover of lust for life
it does NOT fit the vibe at all. Even the paradise cover while being a shittier piece of art captures the feels
@@AugustCrossroadstrying to find who gaf besides you
Taylor having an album in every single tier. Go girl, give us everything!
She has ✨ *the range* ✨
She is a mother for a reason

She’s just flying around these categories ✈️
the immediate relegation to the D Tier for Doll Domination after that lengthy explanation killed me.
cannot overstate just how much i physically felt the shockwave of the explosion sound effect wash over my limp body as if the explosion of which the sound is all about is real and in my presenceeeee, some people (w/c/sh)ould be scared and they are and i happen to be their martyr, for i was truly slain .
i put 3(three) spaces before the period(.) for emphasis, call it a stylistic choice if will, i am styleful
like he was fully buying me i was ready for him to put him on galactic slay for how camp and iconic it is and then he did that??? queen of surprises
I just had to pause and come to the comments to see if anyone else was dealing w that whiplash LMAO
i am literally in a neck brace from it
The whole doll domination segment was a hate crime to me personally
I love how Mike is reacting to the rankings as if he isn't the one assigning them 😭
The standard Born This Way cover is a galactic slay. The girls that get it get it.
agreed
The "ello sistah" screenshot coming up every time he says A just gets funnier and funnier 😂
It took me so long to understand the joke 😭
@@hafsaz4513 lmao I still don't can you explain

charli does come through with the most galactic slays it cannot be denied. when pop 2 came out nasa shut down for the day. rumor has it the she outslayed the sun.
Bye-
oml and the covers for 5 in the morning and no angel?? I became an egg because they added 100 years to my life
@@Iachesism YESSSS HUNNY
Crash has one of the best covers ive seen
Charli herself is the galactic slay
i started listening to lana del rey's discography just because i always find her album covers pretty. that's why the album artworks or visual concepts are very important. i h@te when artists don't put a lot of efforts on their album covers.
then chemtrails over the country club cover ruined her perfect album covers streak ✨ i'm glad we have the alternate target cover tho
@@genesisdelrey777she’s back with ocean blvd. I love the album cover and the credits on the album cover make it feels like the credits of the end of a movie. NFR album cover will always be >>>> though
Her first album, ep, and NFR covees are great but everything else is mediocre as hell. Idk what yall are on in this comment section 😂 ultraviolence isnt bad but its boring af with no effort as well as blue banisters. Chemtrails and honeymoon i hate. I kinda like her new one and LFL is okay but its not at the level of her first. Born to Die, Paradise, and NFR are truly the only covers that are beautiful and iconic.
Rina Sawayama on the Hold The Girl cover is a daruma doll. When tipped they come back to the upright position. Ties well with the theme of healing from trauma she spoke about.
omg that's makes it an even harder slay
Love this context! Still can’t unsee a douche.
Can you please do this with renaissance paintings? There are galactic slays left and right in classic art. I know it’s not exactly your usual content but I would watch it. Love your work!
Ooh this would be so entertaining
Mike you better hop on this idea and give credit where it’s due!
thats such a good idea!! i hope mike sees this
I'd loooove that
1000 iq idea i wanna see this
You’re so brave for this, we stan the sacrifice
the fact that you calibrate the tiers is truly giving "i have a masters in mechanical engineering" and i love that for you
i love that Angèle’s cover (the roller coaster one) is in galactic slay, she’s an icon what can i say
It honestly feels illegal that you did Taylor offscreen and didn’t talk about the iconic 1989 art without her face on it but I guess I need to deal with that by myself
true, boy only talked about the basic ass rep cover but not 1989
Doesn't sit right with me but go off Mike
@@anisanurraudah8383 Rep is her best album cover though. Although Red TV, 1989 and Evermore are up there too
@@anisanurraudah8383 exactly rep looks so basic and bad
Honestly none of her album covers are THAT great. Rep was at least making some statement so he talked about it.
as a Belgian i was shocked to see Angèle exists in the mic microphone cinematic universe and I'm all for it
Same !
my stupid ass thought she was french for the longest time 😭
@@soobinsolos listen i can't blame you, everyone that hears French immediately assumes the artist is French! but we have so few internationally known artists that we're real protective of their Belgian nationality haha, like Angèle and Stromae are OURS, France back off 😂
both of her albums are sooo good but her sophomore album is literally one of the best pop albums to come out in the past few years. stream nonante-cinq y'all
@@soobinsolos South belgium is literally france
I'm just happy someone included Ms. Jessie Ware when talking about pop girls. WYP doesn't often get the hype it deserves. The cover art is in homage to Andy Warhol's polaroids of celebrities, I think. Very disco.
I saw the photo before knowing it was a cover of an album and I genuinely thought it was an original Warhol photo and it was taken in the late 70s. It’s IMMACULATE.
Love Janelle's Dirty Computer cover but why is no one talking about her early work?? Metropolis, Archandroid...ICONIC
Yes!! Concept!!!
When Miss Rina Sawayama says its time to shoot for her albums & singles she does NOT play. She is out here making art both visually and musically💖
You can tell she was a model. She is ready to serve face and pose. And EYEBROW
I hate the album cover for her upcoming but the single covers have been insane
@@emilyx6126 does anyone know what he means about the six letter word that starts with d that hold the girl cover looks like @ 14:54
i’m so in love with the cover for cherry😩😩

Kesha not having a galactic slay ranking is a crime against humanity
I was so excited to see the Kesha albums and he didn't even talk about them 😢
accurate her album covers are next level illuminati slay 😍
This was more meaningful for the music industry than the Grammys.
plz your content is always consistently so good
i agree that reputation is taylor's only galactic slay and i appreciate the variety of tiers that she is in
Love how unrelaxed this made me lol, but also Little Mix’s absence from the grouping of the ‘main pop girlies’ I will try not to take as a personal affront 😂x
Calling them "Main" would be a real stretch.
Little Mix once again being underappreciated, and I do take that personally 😭
@@MiloKuroshiro little mix had a number one not that long ago and they’re probably the most successful girl group at the moment and of the last decade
fr fr we need to DISCUSS this criminal offence. luv michael tho
EXACTLY those girls legit slay each and every one of their art covers!! no bad ones at all
you explaining and analyzing every single detail from the pussycat dolls doll domination's album cover and suddenly putting it in D was so hilarious
Them vocals on The Emancipation of Mimi would blow anyone out of the water!! slay!
I am in LOVE with Iggy’s last album. That cover is a statement. She slayed her way through her career. NYE is playing in my headphones 24/7
Putting reputation album cover in the galactic slay but not the iconic polaroid cover of 1989 is a crime against humanity. Folklore cover might be basic but the album is def a M.I.L.F tier (Man.I.Love.Folklore)
I’m so glad reputation is getting the love it deserves but I was also shocked by that… the 1989 cover is so iconic lives were changed
Controversial opinion but as a relatively new Taylor fan, the 1989 cover is nothing special to me so I think a big part of why long time swifties love it so much is purely because of the nostalgia of the era....:)
@@jessicalund9269 nah she literally reinvented polaroids ppl who were there remember that’s why we love it !
@@jessicalund9269 I was not a hardcore fan during the era, but she singlehandedly brought back an aesthetic from that album cover alone
@@jessicalund9269 because she literally revived the polariod industry with that cover
He put a Girls' Generation album cover in GALACTIC SLAY on the girls their 15 years anniversary, as he should 💕
i was looking for a comment about snsd 😩
I love that cover but I feel like there are better SNSD covers
@@Tenshikichi1 agreed
@@kay1561 which ones are your fav? I'm torn between the boys and lion heart
@@Tenshikichi1 I definitely love the photoshoot for lion heart the most bc of their elegant retro concept, but graphic design wise, I like The Boys and I Got A Boy better. Special honor to their recent album cover too 💖
The Namasenda album cover!! Miss Hannah Diamond truly Snapped when editing that Image! And all the single art for that album!!
i truly truly need you to do a breakdown and introduction to the genre that is the main pop girls
Mike editing out him ranking Marina and Melanie is not a slay tbh.
it was honestly what i came here for and he skipped it
oh he was so sick for that 😭
@@melspurgatory honestlyyyy
"So you're dressed as a flop?"
SCREAMING
for some reason i didnt read the title right and was waiting for mike to rate pop girl album covers from the 2000s... that would have been iconic as well
folklore is galactic slay. im sorry, but argue with the wall! the way the world stood still in shock when she posted that is so iconic. give her her place next to repuslaytion !!
girl it's a forrest in black and white... just because your unhealthy obsession with table swift went overboard, when she posted her 36th album, does not make it a 'great' album cover.
girl why are trying to argue with me over a comment i made a year ago…
@@immy6023 idc if that comment was from yesterday or 10 years ago, ima still say smith about if I disagree x stay mad and delusional swiftei
bestie are you not embarrassed right now? what do you think trying to argue with strangers on the internet is going to achieve? are you okay?? please find a hobby to fill your lacklustre life
@@loketaunajikyou took the comment so seriously and for what ??? like mad and delusional honey ??? the call’s coming from inside the house 💀💀
11:48 this is the cover of nonante cinq by a Belgian singer called Angèle!
Once again I’mma have to thank you for constantly giving the people what they want and raising the bar for everyone in terms of contents. As an English pop girlies & Janelle Monae enjoyer let me tell you I was well fed.
Where were you an hour ago 😭 I had to illegally acquire the art so I could google it to find this out I lichrally broke laws sweetheart
I love her!!
thank u for ur service
Thank you! Was literally googling "two blonde girls rollercoaster gameboy album cover" and getting nowhere.
You all are very welcome
I appreciate the amount of danger you put yourself in with all these fandoms, like you really just said “what if i lay down on the highway in front of the pop girl stan convoy and see if i can avoid harm”
Im
So glad you included Mariah’s the emancipation of Mimi album cover and both of them to be exact .. the one where she’s wearing the blue dress ? (The platinum edition one )still slays my existence to this day every time I look at it !! She ate with that cover !!! Purrr
This is using AAVE (and yes it's AAVE, not Gen Z language, not internet
lingo, not White gay language, it's AAVE and must be recognised as such), it's
cultural appropriation, and you're not even using it correctly. It's cringe.
Your ability to bring PLL into every video is all I live for
the "ancient dream in a modern land" cover is everything
marina did not have to slay as hard as she did especially after that mediocre love + fear cover... but she did it for the girlies
@@iwakeupandboomimarat the love + fear cover is a leaf of mediocrity floating in an ocean of slay
@@junosbitch literally couldnt have explained it better myself bestie like... mama that was garbage
literally the alternate cover used for love + fear acoustic remixes was better than the og 😭
@@junosbitch matched the music… lacking, compared to her other albums.
I'm dying at the fact that you included Adam Lambert in this tier list, just to put him at D 💀
Loona's ++ should've been in galactic slay because that diving board picture is just so gorgeous
I’ve had a bad day, thank you for making it better 💖
“In terms of the tiers I did something that has truly never seen on this channel before, it’s gonna be bad for me” is what I said to my therapist about crying during Paddington 2
"this is gut instinct" he says then proceeds to write a dissertation on the cover art for pussycat dolls doll domination "but then we're not even done because you need to look closer. in the background there's-"
I just wanna say that I'm happy to see StayC girls here, they really are main pop girls because they always release bops, thank you ❤️
this is such a loaded video topic omg... im just not even gonna start, but u slayed the gaga ones
Slayyyter’s self titled album cover is giving the inner mind of Jennifer Coolidge in A Cinderella Story…. Like it’s simply factual this is what that character saw in the mirror and I love that for her
YES
No 💀💀💀💀💀 but why does this make sense
Ok you’re right and you should say it
Britney’s Debut album cover truly does give some strange vibes. I was ready to come find you in Australia when you ranked it then you stated your opinion and then I thought about it and realized just based on the album cover you’re right… but it’s so ingrained in me as I’m 33 and it’s like the album of my childhood. What was pretty sensational though was that the albums all had like different color schemes. Like mine was like blue and orange and my friends was like yellow and purple.
It probably gives weird vibes because I feel like Britney was sexualised on the album cover (even if it's not as direct), which at like 17 is... questionable. Plus she's looking up at the camera which I don't think is common and it does make it look strange
@@richieswar3139 yeah, it was DEFINITELY targeted toward young girls… and people who LIKE young girls. Tragically that whole world goes from wholesome and cute to dark and terrible
Also, this was probably decided before they knew she was going to be a huge hit so I don't think they put a lot of money into the cover.
It's probably because on the ground looking up and she looks very young in the most preppy clothes. Iffy vibes.
Honestly, that's what most girls in my middle school class looked like when it came out. Not me, of course, but the genetically blessed ones. The hair and clothes are accurate, though.
Glad to see Poppy’s covers on this list, I love the b&w slay going on, especially the I Disagree cover 🖤🤍
an underrated queen. being the first female solo artist nominated for a heavy metal grammy is a galactic slay in itself.
Came here cuz Mike is amazing and cuz I wanted to see how he'd rank Lana's and Marina's album covers. They always have amazing covers and he did not disappoint with their rankings (except that Blue Banisters should've been higher on the list...Her hair and her dress? Her dogs on either side of her?? Iconic).
"So you're dressed as a flop" my jaw DROPPED. 😮
That guy spilled
IM CRYING, that A picture was so outta pocket LMAO almost gave me a heart attack 😭
Your voice is like a purr and I adore listening. Thank you
So sad bjork wasnt included like….. girly slays every SINGLE album cover I know shes not a poo girly but she needs to be in galactic slay for every cover
literally 😭
poo girly is taking me OUT
The bang bang single cover has always been an attack on taste and class and dignity
"She was at the computer getting the job done...
...that being said, Pussycat Dolls' Doll Domination; it's a D" 💀
YES the Angèle album nonante-cinq is amazing TYHANK YOU mikes mic
Just want to comment and say thank you for inadvertently showing me the Nonante Cinq! I had never heard of Angèle before that and I’m so glad I discovered her. Thank you!
Regarding Beyoncé’s self-titled album cover: the genius behind this cover comes from her name not being exactly placed in the middle but slightly shifted to the right; promoting imperfection which is an occurring theme throughout the album
Woah didnt know that
i love the album cover, it's basic but it's just so aesthetically pleasing to me.
Every Gaga album cover is almost sickeningly iconic I can’t lie
this was so excellent! love to see so many of the girls girl. Anyways I think my favorite is the perfect velvet cover but I'm so extremely biased so
i'm so happy to see Angele in this video. Nonante-cinq is such a good album!
Both Red Velvet Full Albums "The Red" and "The Perfect Velvet" in A Tier, DESERVED. They had a concept and they pulled through. QUEENS OF CONCEPT INDEED
both are so fucking iconic, i was sensing galactic slay but the stars didn't align
@@bjawrk2926 if it were me, i would've definitely put it in galactic slay cuz it's what it deserves
They were a galactic slay
The perfect velvet was definitely a galactic slay though. Like something in the atmosphere changed when they dropped that. The entire concept of being bad bitches and eating pizza delivery guys was just too good
You need to do this with the Indie girls - florence & the machine "lungs" needs to be on there in the galactic tier!
ceremonials
Honestly I don't think Florence has an album cover that is bad. She is my modern deity of choice though so I may be biased.
i’ve been listening to lungs since i was 4 💕
Crash album is such a vibe. Also I CONSTANTLY jam "Hot Girl" while working out, I mean it's so c*nt it's absolute perfection. Also I felt like everyone kinda slept on Melodrama as a whole because I still jam that entire album OFTEN.
i love this so much please we need more
The fact you put Girls’ Generations album cover in Galactic Slay on their 15th anniversary is a Galactic Slay
"i'm dressed as the joanne album cover" "so you're dressed as a flop" i can't that had me dead😭
Kylie Minogue - FEVER 💿
the singles, the b-sides, album covers, imagery, the tour (I could go on…)
my all time fave EVER!!!
…that whole era is still my obsession
SLAYED
So happy Namasenda was included in this! She deserves hella more flowers.
should've had some Little Mix album and single covers. those girls just know how to slay their covers 😌
There's no little mix
Right
The fact that Little Mix wasn't included is criminal.
CRIMINAL.
no
@@Jayymes 😂
IKR
We were robbed
im not sure about the others but CONFETTI was that bitch
I loved this video so much I'm literally just commenting to appease the algorithm and encourage 20 sequels aaaaa
Mariah Carey the Emancipation Of Mimi is that her biggest comeback in 2005 & the part 2 platinum album 👏✨🔥 that album is fire. 📀 👠🔥✨ Her higher vocals and whistles is mind blowing insane.🔥✨👏
janelle monaé always goes hard on the album covers, but dirty computer is top-tier and deserves to be in the louvre
forreal
It's so good!!!
the only thing im offended by is magdalene by twigs not being galatic slay because it feels like how listening to that album feels its a journey its art
holy shit you went in so fast and i was not ready queen
they way i screamed when i saw Angèle on the screen like i just knew it had to go on the galactic slay category thank you mike
the way that mike continuously reinvents the standard for yt content deserves a mikes mic-level deep dive
I was so happy that he mentioned Nonante-cinq by Angèle. The color contrast is so beautiful and satisfying. I recommend listening to the album, even though it’s in French the melody, her voice, and production is amazing!
and she designed it herself (the drawing is ugly but she had the spirit overnight what a queen)
this is so fun to watch as someone who has no idea what metrics make something good or not. like my instincts are all just absolutely off course. what is being measured here. how do you quantify slay. i will never know. but i will keep watching anyway because this is so much fun
I feel like one that should have been in this list is "Was It Even Real?" by Olivia O'Brien because the *international implications* that that album cover has... one of my favourites for sure
True
Love how Mariah seldom shows up here but when she does she always cassually stomps on the competition. Her power is immense and timeless. She's like whitney, dolly, madonna and cher in that
Daydream, Butterfly and Rainbow...slay after slay.
Caution is also slay.
E=MC² IS THE FUCKING MOMENT
Elusive...I don't know her.

I wish whitneys albums were here
The way Mariah’s album covers always delivered then Memoirs came along. And Merry Christmas 2 You… wtf is that ugly ass snowman
the correctness of your every single opinion is truly overwhelming. u slayed this bestie
I would have loved to hear you talk about all of the albums, that was so entertaining help
Mike is out here talking about shows I have never seen and music I have never heard and I am here to see it every single time
So I love this but Magdalene has perhaps one of the most slay album covers out there and I am offended on behalf of miss FKA twigs herself
Thank you I was just about to post the same thing
excluding her from galactic slay is questionable to say the least
the fact he didnt even mention or give a thought on any of her albums is honestly such an eye turner but in a bad way like 🤨
Mike's Mic is braver than any US Marine for posting this. Rest in power, king.
mike u could make a video of you just sitting there and breathing and I would watch ever second 🥺🎉 keep being the icon u are
I loved this!!! You should do a video ranking the albums themselves (that’s sure to get the girlies angry 🤣)
Arca's covers are truly the top tier of galactic slay 💅🏻
But where's my girl Rosalia with her motomami excellence and Shygirl ohh the lack of them is criminal
motomami is in tier a he just didn’t talk abt it 🥲 19:36 (and agreed arca’s r soooo good)
Ok this is gonna be so much fun also I don’t think I’ll ever get over how incredible Taylor looks in the rep cover . Dewey, mad goddess 🥲💗
Love the cards on the wall!
this ranking is so real. btw if u do this again pls do BoA the original girlboss
