@twig_lalaland@audioradiohead@RollingStone 1970's -1980's: people listened to radio and watched MTV 1980's onward. DJ's determined what we were exposed to. Now people just surrender to streaming algorithms. Perhaps you're not seeing just how vast 'middle America' is (long haul, rural, farms, etc.)
@twig_lalaland@audioradiohead@RollingStone 'popular' songs you may reference lack the iconic generational impact of the 'great' songs from 1970's, 1to early 1990's. Those songs are still recognized in commercials and movies. "Purple Rain" and "Billie Jean" and "Don't Stop Believing" last decades.
@RnBHomeMusics Some of us say the same about Drake, Rhianna, and even Justin Bieber: I truly do not recognize ANY of their songs despite their apparent popularity amongst a segment of the population. I am completely disconnected with most Hip Hop and modern pop.
@AyoTristan It's been on the charts for 45 weeks. So, for that long there is a lack of hits? Quite a few big names dropped albums and they flopped. Maybe cuz they were bad albums and maybe cuz the culture is changing and doesn't tolerate that crap anymore.
@DynaA938545 He was filming. It was click bait. He wanted a reaction and wanted to play victim. It was creepy. Nothing normal or respectful about this approach. She shouldn't apologize for anything Her response was PERFECT.
@TreasureHills4 Never heard of that song "Calm Down". You just proved our point. BTW, that song went to #1 in five countries and has nearly 1B streams by now. Echo chambers are the norm now, unlike before.
@Charlotte_Stein And yet I grew up on Pink Floyd, Journey, Michael Jackson, Prince, Eagles, etc. but my TikTok and X feed are replete with Ella Langley songs and fans using it as audio for their videos.
@KaylaTheFifth Prince: #1 movie, song, & album. Many who never listened to him (too provocative & erotic). Back when we had MTV and traditional radio we were exposed to songs outside of our normal interests. Now streaming algorithms give you more of your same songs
@twig_lalaland@audioradiohead@RollingStone Fair enough. Perhaps it depends upon where you live & what you stream. My TikTok and X feed are flooded with her songs. I'm not even a country music fan. I grew up on Pink Floyd, Eagles, Journey, Michael Jackson, Prince.
@Ouinston@PatrycjuszNRD Gen Z would sip their iced coffee and need to take a break to collect their emotions in a safe space and then decry Boomers and Gen X who had it so easy cuz apparently the ocean didn't exist back then.
@sarahdvojack That's okay. There were literally people who never saw the movie "Purple Rain" and some who never heard Prince's songs. There is always a contingent that lives in their own echo chambers.
@QueenEllaFan@ellalangleymsic Didn't fall to #2. Spotify + Apple Music represent daily streaming trends. Billboard Hot 100: downloads, purchases, radio play, etc. Too soon to conclude that TS will sustain this for a week. When Drake dropped his album it was also #1-4 for a few days.
