Growing up, a hit song crossed demographics whether the genre was your favorite or not. People who don’t primarily listen to country still know Dolly, Shania, Carrie, The Chicks, etc. because they made actual hit records that crossed over. If a song can spend 23 weeks at #1, breaking records that stood for 20+ years, while a huge portion of the public is sincerely saying they’ve never heard it, maybe the conversation isn’t “people hate country.” Maybe @RollingStone should be writing about how streaming-era chart dominance no longer equals cultural dominance because there’s some trickery at play. That’s the real story being avoided. Don’t gaslight us.
“Is Tyla Black?”
“Chloe Bailey is too sexual”
“Ayra Starr is too African”
“Tems is cosplaying RNB”
“Olivia Dean makes H&M music”
“PinkPantheress stay whisperin”
“Tinashe still making music?”
“Fka twigs weird asf and too alt”
“Mariah The Scientist can’t sing”
@zombifiedtater exactly!! and it’s honestly embarrassing that basic human empathy is now treated like some extraordinary achievement. half the time people only care because they need the celebrity they stan to validate them for stanning them
Yall want Victoria Monet to be a star or not?? Yall been complaining about everything she does and she one’s of the best girls out right now. Great pen, great performances, great videos. What more yall want???

am i crazy to say this is one of the few actually generational classic of the current day popstars.. will be played at weddings, karaokes and parties for yrs to come 😭 even got played in SPACE like you just have to bow down
realmente ninguém faz como ela. foi chamada de puta pra baixo e transformou isso em hit, foi chamada de miss piggy e não só participou como produziu o especial de 50 anos dos muppets que rendeu sua primeira indicação e vitória no emmy...
falem mais, por favor
