Check the Spotify Top 50, there's not a SINGLE Beyonce song! Not one!
ok but if you look at the spotify top albums chart, there she is at #5. and since there isn’t a big single buoying the album, isn’t that an indication that people are listening to the whole album and listening often?
can always count on this fucker to draw the dumbest conclusion from any piece of data presented to him

I just want to say I've grown to really resent -- for all that it was in jest -- the question at the end of the opening post to this thread all those years ago. Fate worse than death, to be even slightly like this clown.

I’d even proffer at this late date if Kim Carnes appeared on the Super Bowl more people would know her big hit song than those of Rihanna.

I'm def of the Lefsetz school of "No one knows what's going on in music anymore" but "Umbrella" is a huge, omnipresent fucking song
― Whiney G. Weingarten, Thursday, 16 February 2023 17:35 (one year ago) link
Like, in the Kim Carnes era there was like one of those songs every week. In the Rihanna era there's maybe two a year if you're lucky. But "Umbrella" is assuredly one of them!

rihanna has enough hits that anyone who has been to a bar or restaurant or grocery store in the past fifteen years will have heard a few of them

Really odd! But now I'm noticing a mild resemblance between Rhianna and Bette Davis.

Tommy Tutone is more popular than Rhianna it's science

In 1981 they had Helen O’connell in the halftime show, so maybe Lefs has a point

It's not your father's music business anymore. And we're the fathers, if not the grandfathers! As great as Giraldo and Benatar are, they appeared quaint compared to the rest of the acts. They were a blast from the past. Today image is key. And dancing. The trappings. Once again, it's not the seventies anymore. Not even the eighties!
