I know of Chappell Roan because she’s recently been ruffling people’s feathers by asserting boundaries against fans’ parasocial weirdness; I’ve never heard any of her music, but this alone is enough to make me a fan.
45 million monthly listeners on Spotify. That is 10 million more than The Beatles right now. 60th overall on the top list of plays just above Michael Jackson. Half the amount of TSwift
This is why I used Spotify listeners and not plays or ticket sales or album sales. It’s a metric that doesn’t really require a band to be currently active. New hits will clearly improve the metric but we’re talking here specifically about a person’s outreach today and influence on a voting population.
The idea that more individual people listened to her music than had a single Beatles song in their playlist or a single Michael Jackson song in their playlist is pretty insane. I know I listen to at least one Beatles song a month, it doesn’t matter if it is new.
Still, not as many people listen to older bands even if they are fans and especially for older bands people tend to listen more in other mediums
Take any videoclip from YouTube for example of any of the greatest song that is a 3, 4, 5 decades old and it will have far less views than a mild reggaeton hit from last summer, even if the old song has had far longer to accumulate views
The only thing I know about Bad Bunny is someone responded to you about Happy Gilmore 2. Idk I’m out of all the loops so this chapel person is a non entity for me, unless one of my niblings mentions them.
The only thing I know about Bad Bunny is that they… It? Is going to be in Happy Gilmore 2. I learned that a week ago, and this is as far as I’ve gotten. That’s more than I know about Chappell Roan, but I approve their message.
Good… but also I have no idea who that is 👴

She makes decent lesbian focused pop music. It’s fun to sing
Her music is infectious. Think 80’s Madonna if she were progressive, very lesbian, and even sadder and somehow more vengeful than Alanis Morissette
that’s a hell of an endorsement; enough that i went and listened. not my thing. but overall seems chill.
Did you listen to Good Luck Babe? https://youtu.be/1RKqOmSkGgM
thanks for that, but i am only more confused

So they are a well known artist.
Oh, did the new Beatles album drop?
I mean, using these spotify metrics in comparison with all time greats is kinda flawed.
For example my band sold just as many tickets as Michael Jackson and the Beatles COMBINED in 2024.
I am not in a band.

Reminds me of when I asked who Bad Bunny was
Reminds me of when I asked who Pooborg Sea Cucumber was
You made that name up
I thought that’s what we were doing
All names are made up.

Oh thanks, NPR is really good at dumbing down pop music for me.
