Music thread

“I might have gone to uni but at least I know I’m dumb” is a lyric that resonates with me on a spiritual level.

Musicians shouldn’t have allowed The three Remaining Record labels to monopolize Streaming like they did

@Broken Adam  
Musicians should unionize and demand better pay from streaming services.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Not gonna happen

So  
Sweet o Child of mine is now the first 80’s song to hit a Billion on YouTube  
Wonder if Slash is pissed about that

@Broken Adam  
Incidentally, GNR also achieved the first ‘90s music video to reach 1 billion views with “November Rain.”

@TheHappySpaceman  
I didn’t see that coming honestly, its a long song that’s not nearly as catchy as Welcome to the Jungle or Sweet O Child of Mine
 
The next Rock songs to Hit a Million are likely Smells Like Teen Spirit, Zombie, Do I wanna Know and Chop Suey

Can someone PLEASE get High Hopes off the fucking Rock Billboard?  
I am willing to accept another 21 Pilots/Imagine Dragons hit than that song

@Broken Adam  
Neither one is truly rock, let’s be real.

@TheHappySpaceman  
Yes but at least their songs are somewhat more interesting than whatever the fuck Brendon is doing these days

Crazy how Summer Walker is currently blowing up when her song Girls Need Love barely scraped the Top 40. What were Ella Mai and SZA too advanced for your listening minds, America?
 
I also never expected the Jonas Brothers to do a ska/reggae song but here they are in the Top 40 with a Mighty Mighty Bosstones pastiche.

If you played this a bit slower and as a ballad, it almost sounds like an MLP song:

Oh man, ALL! I never bothered to check them out even though I knew I’d probably like them since I like the Descendents.

I updated the link so it actually goes to the song.
 
Yes, ALL is pretty cool. They’re basically like the Descendants except the lyrics are much more confessional and deep (and very angry on the first two albums with Chad Price) It’s pop punk without sounding too poppy.
 
I would especially recommend to check out their contributions to compilation albums on Discogs as there are a ton of hidden gems in there.

Tenth anniversary of ToddInTheShadows being on YouTube, congratulations to him. And I liked his newest One Hit Wonderland episode on I Love College by Asher Roth, mainly because I think the song sucks big time.

@ILoveMyoozik  
Honestly all of the Big Music critic youtubers annoy me in some way

@Broken Adam  
Good thing I’m not big, then.

The Sports Channels in my country are STILL using that Ladies and Gentlemen song
 
Wtf

@Broken Adam  
What does that have to do with my comment?

@ILoveMyoozik  
I tried one of his videos and he came off as worse than Fantano in self indulgent mindless Criticism

@Broken Adam  
Which video?

@ILoveMyoozik  
Be here now

@Broken Adam  
Ah his review of the Oasis album. To be fair, I wasn’t a fan of that review either but if you want a better album review by him, check out his video for The Funky Headhunter and American Life.

I wish there was a “Best selling artist based on studio album sales alone” wiki page
