Pet Sounds out now

CLB bout to change that

We just came off of a full year of basically no big artists dropping across all genres. Trap is getting stale but this isn't as noteworthy as it seems

Been known

Its not bad to listen to old music

lets not make it a competition

Considering there’s a good 100 years of music that came before this era, those numbers don’t look too bad

Been stale for a minute

how would you have measured consumption of old music pre-streaming era

like yeah some people would buy older albums but now we know if they're actually still being listened to

3% increase lmao

Also could mean the new streaming users are oldheads

imagine not loving most periods of music

there is A LOT more old music tho, new music cant even keep up with that

Also lets compare the last 6 months of music with the best s*** from every year since 1932

why 1932?

Since both categories and the total went up maybe it's just old people who were not using streaming services joining and listening to their favorite music?

But yeah, less mainstream releases due to the pandemic definitely played a role.

earl

Awful statistic

OK.

bro looks so happy

@DAVIDP was the chosen one to deliver the before its time?
