"I love that the music business is thriving on fandom obsession and adoration based on random picks for going viral!", says the man who can retire right now and not work any more until his death because he has produced albums for the biggest Musical ATMs in the universe, meanwhile the rest of the independent artists that barely reach 100 views/listens can go screw themselves.

Even as a Swiftie, I acknowledge that heās dead-wrong. The worst throw-away Taylor songs will chart in favor of better songs from less exposed artists that would appeal to a wider public simply because a few thousand fans streaming the same song over and over wether they even like it or not. I literally saw a tweet from someone saying they were streaming āIs It Over?ā instead of their favorite song from her newest release, āNow That We Donāt Talkā simply because the fandom decided that would be the song they mass stream to number 1. Is it supposed to be somehow better that biggest artistās fans are manipulating the market instead of record labels?

āI like the way the industry is goingā he says while talking about a song that he wrote with and produced for an artist who is now one of the biggest, not just pop stars, not just musicians, but CELEBRITIES on the planet and who has one of the most rabid fanbases out there. I love Jack, I love his work with Taylor, and I think Cruel Summer is about as close to pop perfection as you can get, and Iām happy to finally see it getting the love it deserves, but he canāt act like it was just some random thing. Taylor performing it on her tour, which is currently one of the highest grossing tours ever, didnāt hurt anything, letās be honest

Actually amazingly comical that Jack's example of how the industry is improving is that people started liking one of his songs that he thought people were underrating. His reasoning is basically just "the industry is getting better, why? Because the fans like me more and I didn't even have to pay for it"

As someone who listens to all my music on YouTube i gotta be honest, youtube really likes to recommend smaller artist to me like crazy, a lot of times stuff with like 100 - 1000 views. Almost every time without fail these artists are solid. I have never used spotify so i dont know what the experience is like but i think youtubes algorithm from peesonal experience does a good job at promoting smaller artist.

Yeah, heās wrong. Heās coming from the place of a big record producer who can have creative freedom because he has shown he can make hits and he works with other big artists who have creative freedom because they have the fan base to push their newest song. This is definitely coming from a place of privilege, well-earned privilege, but still privilege. Itās fun for him, but itās not so fun for smaller artists just starting out. But he is right, that fans are now choosing what song is the next single/creating sleeper hits. Weāve seen it with āalien superstarā by BeyoncĆ© and āstreetsā by doja cat.

i feel like iāve experienced this in real time. i listen to taylor for a week and i am bombarded with taylor and taylor adjacent all over my account and front page and suggestions. i listen to jessie ware for a week (admittedly still quite a sizeable artist) and it maybe whispers a jessie song into my suggesteds afterwards. i like two harry styles songs but i canāt even listen to them because my spotify tries to convert me into a mega stan every time i try to just put them on for the first time in over a month
