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?

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

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

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 🤣😱

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

What would the list look like under a one-party totalitarian Maoist government?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 11 months ago
  1. John Brown's Body

listening to anything else is punishable by the death penalty

  1. Red Sun in the Sky

  1. Chollima on the Wing

All songs are number 1 on The Chart

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

In the same vein of "DPRK songs that have no business being this hype", we could add "The Train of Reunification Runs"

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Bohemian Rhapsody just hanging out in the middle there data-laughing

Actually much better than I expected. Fuck yeah Blinding Lights

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Man I've only heard like six of these songs I'm pretty out of touch (but also the children are a wrong).

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

I've known the children are wrong since I was a child, that's why I stopped listening to the dogshit music they like

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 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.

there has never been a good song. all of it is bad.

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

[–] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

oh that's cool to hear, good on him

wow, critical support. need a milder version of heartbreaking

None of the hits by the Lion Of Damascus tribute band LMFAO even on top 40? The west has fallen

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?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 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)
