Do you believe the Billboard Hot 100?Redditors are shocked that black music isn't popular anymore.
>>131197616lolI mean I didn't hear all those YNWBA RichBoy songs when they were topping the charts either, and I am, actually, american.
>>131197616They didn't even mention Black Peopleretarded /pol/bait thread.Pussy coming in here crying about r/music.
Waaaaah r/music waaaaaaah
>>131197616USAID money is gone
>>131197616Morgan wallen is such a fag
this is literally all music for +60 year olds. grim
>>131197828slop slop
>>131197616i hate redditors and am glad rap isn't dominating anymore but it is kind of weird. i listen to sirius xm radio and the 90s station often does "top 40 songs this week in 1995" or whatever and you really do notice that all of the top songs back then were real songs that people intentionally listened to and culture was built around. so, something's definitely changed in the streaming era
>>131197616>I don't live in the US>I've never heard these songs that are predominantly popular in the US Gee I wonder why.
as much as i hate country, i live in texas and growing up i would hear people listening to it, even mexicans, usually older mexican ladies.The problem for poptimists is that they are learning that homosexuals and female stans arent the center of the world and that rural people exist outside the new york and california bubble
>>131197616I’ve seen six gorillion news articles about Ella Langley’s song being number one. It’s all fake
>>131198151why do yankee groids not want to admit country is popular music?I know it sucks but even in the 90s garth brooks was selling more than nirvana and rappers
>>131197616the biggest rappers are the jewish nigger and the manlet faggot. rock is dead and zoomers are all out hipstering each other.
I wish listening to country music made people racist
>>131197616>>131197627The Hot 100 is based mostly on streams now so you won't hear any this crap unless you search it out
>>131197800>>131197809Holy based!!!
>>131197834Dont be retarded just because you dont like the music. Zoomers are filling up stadiums for Morgan Wallen and all that crap.
>>131197616Besides Drake, what black artists are really doing anything? Rap and R&B is pretty much dead. Pop and country is the shit that's selling
I like that the langley girl is full blown maga
Nashville produces the worst music known to mankind
idk man even back in the 50s there was a snob disdain for country and its audience, even though it was a huge profit maker for labels
>>131198189country charting because walmart/target/stores and radio are being forced to play it does not mean its popular
Wish I could say that was true, but I live in Georgia. Don't come here if you don't want to have country oozing out your ear canal 24/7.
>>131202337That’s not how it works and you know it
>>131199752yeah maybe in Hicksville LMAO
Not one of them asked any questions when Roddy Ricch spend +20 weeks at #1 and was never heard nor seen ever again
>>131198055The rest of the world is full of Americanophiles who shape their worldview entirely on American media and news. They get extremely frustrated when they aren't told clearly what to listen to, what to wear, or what to think about current affairs.
>>131202337COPE
entertainment industry only targets childless white women now as they're the biggest cattle consumers and have lot of disposable income from their middle management jobs
>>131203120name a time when basic bitch white women were not the biggest audience for entertainment
countrybros theyre coming for us...
>>131203260As for example, "You Light Up My Life" was a bit bigger than Television or whatever other "hip" late 70s band.
country fans were always kinda their own thing. garth brooks sold like 50 million records but mtv wasnt playing his shit
>>131202288>idk man even back in the 50s there was a snob disdain for country and its audience, even though it was a huge profit maker for labelsDecca's country division was their biggest cash cow back then and critical to paying the bills.
>>131202841classist bigot
>>131203260^This. Who are you kidding me? It was always that way.
>>131199845Well the beats are far worse now and most of the rappers stopped actually rapping so it's not a real shocker that people ain't listening to the new garbage
>>131197616>>131202995Yes, that means U.S. soft power is getting stale and has been weakening for the past few years, they've been trying to expand country music, the NFL, talk shows, and even social media in places where Meta and Google are banned (see ZunZuneo), but they've failed miserably.
>>131203120women are preferable for employers as they work for less money and are more compliant workers less likely to cause trouble or question what's going on
Spotify still constantly promotes Hip Hop above all other genres.
>>131203480but then again, no one but Indians cares about Spotify
i think it has to do with the superfan development and the fact that many rappers and other black musicians often end up dead or in prison, therefore taking the risk to heavily invest into any of them is just not safe for the gabbitalists.
>>131203480Who uses this dogshit lmfao
>>131204186everyone whos not an unc
>>131204292So worthless faggots, got it.I see I've made the correct choice.
>>131204312unc crashout lmaooo
>>131197616Billboard is lame and irrelevant, look at all the young people listening to Michael Jackson.
>>131204483Damn your cringe generation really did get permanently negrified huh
>>131197616>played on the dailyhuh... where is top 40 music even played anymore? there hasnt been top 40 radio stations for decades. there are country stations. no video channels either
>>131205282unc crashout intensifying lmaooo
>>131205722
>>131206149didn't read. unc fucking losing it lmaooo
>>131206230You are why this board fucking sucks now
>>131197616I was listening to the radio for the first time in a while because I was on a car vacation with my grandparents and I was wondering why a shitty female country song was on the radio constantly. What's the redpill? its heckin woke?
>>131206530radio has been working on payola for years now, all the songs they play on it are pre chosen.at the same time billboard counts radio more than streaming and at the same time no one under 60 listens to the radio
>>131206267>me incessantly responding to your bait is why this board fucking suckslmaooo unc please
>>131206906If this is what passes for trolling these days may as well just hang it up
>>131204292>>131204483>>131205722>>131206230>>131206906ubercringedo you work for spotify or something or just a massive dickrider
>>131197616Same argument as why you can't ID a single Bad Bunny or BTS song despite them being extremely popular: it's one fanatical niche
>>131206802>radio has been working on payola for years now, all the songs they play on it are pre chosenPayola has existed as long as radio has and even before radio, it was used in the vaudeville era.
>>131207027unc has lost it lmaooo
>>131207056unc collecting mp3s lmaooooo
>>131197616>>131197828Surely there must be a better song out there than fucking Dracula (charting again with a remix or collab or whatever)
>>131207088>BTS being extremely popular: >it's one fanatical nichea niche band doesnt draw over 100,000 fans in two days from all over the country
>>131208317Fuck Kevin Parker for selling out after Lonerism
>>131197616Charts are a joke nowadays thanks to botted streams. That being said, it's also retarded for someone not in the US to be claiming that our charts must be rigged purely because they haven't heard all those songs in their country. You could look at charts in the UK, Australia, Europe, Canada, etc. at any given time and find songs that 99.9% of Americans have never heard. It is not shocking that the same happens in reverse.
>>131210888Truth tripsI didn't realize this coked out hippie was still making music desu.
>>131198189Beyonce pretty much admitted this when she made a country album
>>131197616Country is popular when times are bad because its party music, something hiphop and pop forgot how to make. It may as well be fucking WPOP (white) where they have actual fan service and people dress up in costumes, have dances and its got a culture to it.I feel like the culture gets forgotten whenever people talk about the music. Its like yeah KPOP sucks outside all the WWE womandrama and dances with the KPOP culture but that is also its secret sauce.Another reason Country sounds good is when you listen to it, it has "times will get better, just pick up your hardhat and eventually you'll have a day for yourself where you get to drink all day and ride dirt bikes and have sex with that bar wench - just keep plugging away and don't become an alcoholic like my dad did"
they're pushing country to reignite american patriotism in preparation for Iran draft
>>131202995America is irrelevant. Nobody listens to country, that’s why no one has heard of those people
>>131203271>computer beeps and clicks >Waow!!!Not music
>>131203479That’s immigrants and foreign workers where I come from lol. White women complain about everything and take lots of time off.
>>131197616LOL nons shocked when they find out nobody liked their shit.
>>131210992And it was FUCKING TERRIBLE. What in the fuck was that Jolene abomination?
>GOAT record sales (will never be topped because spotifylol)>STILL selling out multi night arena toursKneel.
>>131199845Dave Blunts
>>131197967anon, there is no monoculture anymore. we all are getting info/entertainment from different sources at all times via the internet. everyone is "living under a rock" in some way or another now.
>>131214778>Not musichow so
>>131198055I'm an American and I've never heard any of these songs either. Like other people said, the monoculture is dead. I'm sure these artists are still dominating the charts but only in the most technical sense, because there is simply no other competition
you people are all old, stupid and out of touch. i know all of these songs. people stream, mostly on Spotify. yes, too bad, like it or not. that's how we listen to music now. we choose what we listen to now, the radio doesn't choose for us anymore. it's more democratic and the charts are in fact far more accurate now than they've ever been. Choosin' Texas is a massive hit, fans are listening to it all around the world, not just in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choosin%27_Texas#Charts
If this is pop music today ill gladly take the rap back. Fuck this shit
>>131216061>you people are all old, stupid and out of touch. i know all of these songs.>people stream, mostly on Spotify. yes, too bad, like it or not.>that's how we listen to music now. we choose what we listen to now, the radio doesn't choose for us anymore. it's more democratic and the charts are in fact far more accurate now than they've ever been.
>>131216167retard. right now is the best era since the 90s. you can fuck off with your rap shit and die once and for all.
>>131216061Basically, every time I hear someone cite streams or YouTube views, I interpret it as the vote of the poors. Which is to say, opinion of no consequence.
>>131216199Most delusional comment I've seen all day
>>131216419Sorry your people's culture got stale and fell out of fashion. Happens all the time. Maybe you'll get a revival in the 2050s.
>>131216399>the vote of the poors.t. pirate
>>131216199>right now is the best era since the 90s.i agree, but not because of the top 100 lmao
>>131216445I didn't get rich spending money on perpetual digital licensing.
>I didn't get rich spending money on perpetual digital licensing.
>>131206906No. That anon was right. It really is sad how far this site has fell off
>>131216433What do you mean "your people" Are you some kind of racist
>>131212295Yeah something like this. It's all manufactured culture.
