One saving grace I’d argue is that a lot of this isn’t “active” streaming, but rather businesses, public spaces, etc., just putting on Top 40 playlists as background music.

This shit still annoys me. The internet and Spotify (despite being owned by a combination of techbros and record label ghouls) gives us the option to really put some variety and creativity into day-to-day musak. My job has a Spotify and a couple of coworkers in the past have put on some real Clear Channel shit. Like, what's the point then?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

Thst happens in literally every workplace. That's what people like and they're okay with hearing only 5 songs over and over. It sucks

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

I got co-workers that don't like Zydeco or Death Metal. Utter fascism. 😠

You guys all sound like crusty grumpy boomers. People are allowed to like popular things.

i truly do not understand the popularity of ed sheeran

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months ago

I never listen to Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You". I only listen to the cover version by Haddinqo, a virtuoso of the masenqo, a type of one-stringed lute from Ethiopia.

Some people in the comments here are about to change their PFP to a marble sculpture.

imagine talking to some middle aged white dude, and comparing ed sheran to queen, or the beatles 🤣😱

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 10 months ago

I don't know who Ed Sheran is. I like crust punk.

[-] Cherufe@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months ago

Actually much better than I expected. Fuck yeah Blinding Lights

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I literally use RYM to discover most new music and this list could be way worse stop being such a contrarian

Tons of Weeknd, and there's Dua Lipa, Travis, Queen, Gaga, Kendrick. Harry Styles X and Ariana are not bad too though that's probably Ari's worst song

[-] MaxOS@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago

That's it, I'm a contrarian boomer now.

[-] IsThisLoss@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago
[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 14 points 10 months ago

Really, Blinding Lights? It's a solid pop song, but nothing about it screams #1 to me. Maybe that's why it's #1--kinda bland and unobtrusive, so good background music?

Whatever the case, stream Seven so we can teach children all over the world the days of the week.

Macklemore - there's a name I haven't heard in a while

[-] GhostofLeninsGhost@hexbear.net 47 points 10 months ago

He spoke at the Nov 4th rally for Palestine in DC. Said he spent a few days doing research after his daughter said this is something he should engage on and decided on what was right, "Free Free Palestine!".

Then he got off the mic and gave it to someone who actually knew their shit. All in all, 10/10 celeb endorsement.

[-] AlicePraxis@hexbear.net 19 points 10 months ago

oh that's cool to hear, good on him

My biggest gripe with this is that I don’t see any Taylor Swift on here. I thought she was one of the most streamed artists ever?

[-] mar_k@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

She is, she's actually the most streamed artist on spotify right now, and 3rd most streamed of all time

Other artists here might have specific songs that are miles more popular than their other top songs, but Taylor's streams are a bit more spread out across her discography (i.e. many pretty big hits instead of a couple massive hits, and more likely to have actual fans who listen to her albums in full over a lot of the artists here who probably have 90% casual listeners)
