    This seems an odd criticism to me, this is just based on streaming data right? Are we mad that the masses didn’t consider queerness when deciding who to play on repeat…? The top streamed stuff is mostly gonna just be whatever appeals to the largest number of people the most…

      Fewer than one in ten people in the US in general are queer, so if they were proportionally represented we would actually expect there to be years with no queer artists in the top ten. Not really news.

      More interesting is that other than tswift the list actually contained no women

        Yeah, that one definitely feels much more odd to me

    Click bait. So LGBTQ artists weren’t the most streamed… By artist rankings… But THEIR SONGS and THEIR ALBUMS were in the most streamed.

    There could have been an interesting “why” question posed and analyzed.
