She is currently working on a second album and features her biggest hit of 2020 "Baby I'm Jealous" featuring rapper Music/DojaCat.

In 2019 she released a multitude of songs (So Am I, Torn, Freaking Me Out, etc.) and by 2020 she released her first studio album ''Heaven & Hell''. The debut album was somehow delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic and Ava felt it wasn't the right time to release it during the ongoing pandemic so it was pushed back to September.

Likewise, the sounds that the two teams pioneered ({{Eurobeat}} for SAW and NewJackSwing for Jam & Lewis) would be subject to a major public backlash in the 1990s due to overexposure.

Midnight Oil was more successful in the U.S. than the Hip, albeit as a OneHitWonder with some more hits on alternative radio.

* A transpacific and trans-hemispheric variant related to the above: UsefulNotes/MajorLeagueSoccer (US and Canada) / A-League Men (Australia)[[note]]plus one team in New Zealand[[/note]] – Attempts to popularize association football in countries where other forms of football have been much more popular. Their league structures are also dramatically different from soccer leagues in the rest of the world—they determine their champions via playoffs, a feature also found in some Latin American leagues but almost nowhere else, and also do not use promotion and relegation, unheard of elsewhere.
** The {{Distaff Counterpart}}s of the above are the National Women's Soccer League (US only) and A-League Women (which, like A-League Men, has one team in NZ). Both match their respective men's counterparts in the use of a playoff system and the lack of promotion/relegation. The one difference is that the NWSL and MLS are completely separate leagues (though a few NWSL teams ''are'' owned by MLS teams), while Australia's leagues are under a unified governing structure.
