How big was he before the meme?
>>130106705He had multiple top 10 singles and his debut album sold over 15 million copies
>>130106720Still would he still be remembered today if it wasnt for the meme?
>>130106740like most things in music, depends on who you ask.My Nan knew who he was before the meme. I didn 'tShe's dead now. I'm not
>>130106740Probably, yeah, not as big, but would be remembered through "Dude, remember the 80s?!" stuff.

>>130106740Nah. Selling 15 million copies is nothing. But at least a few thousand people knew about that meme. My meme literally made him famous. No one had ever heard of him before I created that meme.
>>130106793Literally billions of people know about him thanks to the meme

Blue eyed soul. Not quite as beloved as Simply Red, not as huge as Michael Bolton, a player in the industry
Rick Astley definitely feels like someone Patrick Bateman would listen to
People thought he was a millivanilli cause he sounded like a brother.
Stock Aitken Waterman was a three-headed monstrosity who wrote all Ronnie James Astley's hits.
>>130106836People thought he sounded like a nigger?
>>130106890You didn't peep that sweet silky smooth baritone, son?
>>130106889They were dubbed "The Hit Factory" because they liked punching people.
>>130106908No?
>>130106796Unlikely. As you can see, this anon's dead aunt knew nothing of any meme >>130106762She's dead now
>>130106954Boomers arent people

>>130107061Hot sticky poo sex
Cry for Help is actual aural kino
>>130106763>remembered through "Dude, remember the 80s?!" stuff.Partly why Rickrolling was created in the first place
he was one of hundreds of acts that made catchy 80s pop songs that basically everyone knew because of how small the media was and MTV.I was a kid and I definitely knew NGGYU. I might or might not have known his name. I don't believe I knew any of his other songs but you don't really follow artists and albums until you're a teen.
>>130108590meant to also say that imo he's more well known because of the meme now. internet/social media seems bigger than American 80s pop radio even taking MTV into account
>>1301067054 foot 10
