He's actually up as well.
He was around 1.5 million last year, now he's 2.4.

HE LISTENS TO THE FUCKING SMITHS—HE'S GOT A MUSTACHE
HE WEARS A TRENCHCOAT—HE'S GOT A MUSTACHE
HE WEARS BLACK TIGHTS—HE WRITES POETRY

HE'S GOT A ROLLERCOASTER HAIRCUT—HE DYES IT JET BLACK
WHEN HIS HAIR IS REALLY BROWN—JUST LIKE HIS MUSTACHE
HE WANTS TO BE ROBERT SMITH—BUT WITH A MUSTACHE
HE'S A FUCKING ART FAG—HE'S GOT A MUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACHE

Trashcan Sinatras, but the first song on their first album is so much better than everything else that they've put out that it's disappointing.

>>127896721
Wrong. One of the best endings for any song ever, it just builds and builds to finally get there.

The surest way to prove you're a lesser being is if your race DOESNT like The Smiths.

>>127897030
THIS

upupupup

Neu Moz has impressive jowls

>>127895554
The reads like a list of the worst bands in the history of rock music. Throw in Radiohead and Coldplay and the list will be complete.

was The Smiths even THAT popular back in the 80s? I have an impression they became more popular as the years passed by. I don't think hey got big in USA charting high at Billboard for example.

>>127895554
the cream truly does rise to the top

>>127897872
No.
They never got into the Billboard top 100 singles nor the Billboard Top 50 albums.
They were very popular in the UK and some of Europe.
They've grown through word of mouth.
Unlike everyone else in that list which had huge worldwide record label promotions behind them.

>>127897910
that's a hell of an accomplishment, I don't think I can tell many cases like them. most older artists may pass through a cult revival moment but to reach this level of popularity is almost unthinkable

>>127897975
Yep. What's crazier is that half of the top ten tracks on Spotify were never released as singles, they were the b-sides or album tracks.

>>127897975
it happened for duster and slint and the cleaners from venus

>>127898033
Yeah but this is multiple leagues more.

Up

>>127895698
bowie didnt sell many albums during his career. lets dance was his biggest seller then 30yrs of nobody buying or listening to his music

So do The Sois

I thought the smiths numbers would be higher 2beeH

for me its: bowie and the smiths tied >>>> the cure >>> rem >> u2 >>> depeche mode

>>127895777
just a touring/promo effect, he's still getting 15x less daily streams than the Smiths

>>127898316
True 17 million monthly listeners is nothing to scoff at but the bands I listed were literal who acts making home recordings and had essentially zero promotion outside of word of mouth. The fact that any of them became success stories is basically a miracle and a testament to the quality of the tunes

>>127900927
Im pretty sure Slint and Duster were definitely not recording their albums at home

>>127900939
nvm I guess Duster had a home studio, i dont listen to taht shit

REM's numbers are inflated by Losing My Religion being on every 90s playlist, total streams this year:

The Smiths 1.12b
U2 0.89b
The Cure 0.74b
David Bowie 0.65b
Depeche Mode 0.58b
R.E.M. 0.57b

>>127900665
The Smiths are one of the greatest bands of all time. Hate to break it to you, Muhammad.

>>127901406
But the cure released an album last year... that also counts as giving them a boost, no?

refuse to listen to the smiths after seeing SLC Punk
anarchy in the UK

>>127902618
A shitty sequel to a mediocre movie sounds like a stupid reason to not listen to a band

all trash

>>127895554
>U2
Seems bono overrated people´s fondness for fried chicken

>>127895554
do mexicans really listen to the smiths that daily?

>>127901727
not really, the album has 65m streams with only 20m this year (not sure why critics/RYM loved it so much btw)
