    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

    So they are a well known artist.

      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.

        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.
