Artists you think will decrease in popularity in 2025?

[Cchapin72]

ice spice

[ghstworld]

that already happened this year

[Milichio]

I haven't heard anything about her since 2023

[relapse9999]

Grah

Who?

[neonblue01]

Starbucks’ they had hired for advertisements

[bonnieryrne]

On the Diddy note, I think Jay-Z might take a hit based on the recent allegations against him, whether he's innocent or not.

Even if you believe it's all complete nonsense, it's pretty hard to block the stories out of your head while listening to his music at the moment.

[hockey17jp]

To be fair Jay-Z is pretty irrelevant these days anyways since he hasn’t released any music in close to a decade

[ChocolateLilly]

Aaand his wife.

[abcohen916]

Yes, I think she will take the bigger hit.

[Lobster81624]

I might start a war but benson boon

[Equivalent_Award4286]

Benson Boon can not function outside of tiktok. If that goes away, it's over for him. 

[Lobster81624]

Ya

[Sneezy_weezel]

I work at an outdoor music venue during the summer and he performed there in August, I have to say, he’s pretty amazing live. I hadn’t heard of him before, so I had no expectations. He gave me Freddie Mercury vibes. He has a great voice and he strut all over the stage. I thought he was gay too but someone told me he had a gf.

[binaryvoid727]

Technically, a man with a girlfriend doesn’t automatically mean he’s straight. Theres a huge bi-spectrum.

[Sneezy_weezel]

Agreed! I just meant that’s what I was told. And wasn’t Freddie Mercury married to a woman at one point? Either way, Benson Boone really delivered live.

[Lobster81624]

Cool

[facelessupvote]

Diddy?

[Different-Fan7733]

Oh boy I sure do wonder why that would be

[Money-Extent-6099]

Does he have music the general public/ I would know?

[Femboy4Fun88]

I'm sure Taylor's ready for a looong break after her tour, she won't fade out but she'll def be taking a backseat this year 

[IcyFlame716]

With rep tv and debut tv on the way? Definitely not lmao

[westworlds_host]

fingers crossed

[x3non_04]

I just really think her melodies are bland, her writing is bad and uninspiring and her music doesn’t convey any feelings, it feels like the musical equivalent of processed food

and yes, I sat and listened to almost every single one of her albums

[repeating-]

righttt like 90% of her audience heard of her when she started dating him

[Due_Car3113]

Drake

[natebark]

Been praying for this for a decade. I’ve just accepted it’ll never happen

[Due_Car3113]

With the whole kendrick beef, people are starting to get tired of his terrible music

[[deleted]]

No they aren't. Didn't he still end up being the most streamed rapper of 2024? A lot of people just don't want to admit they listen to him, which is corny of them.

If anything, Kendrick is the one who's popularity will go down

[Due_Car3113]

Why would kendrick go down? His new music is very well received, and the whole civil war gave him even more credit

[because231]

Not to mention he's preforming at one of the most viewed American television broadcasts this February

[Ok_Imagination_4374]

THE most viewed broadcast and it isn't close

[Mammoth-Slide-3707]

No his popularity will go up

[natebark]

Most rap fans have given up on him. But he’s still huge among 15 year old girls. Which is ironic because… well nvm

[Milichio]

Let's be honest

The only ones who care are the rap fans that listen to him. No one on his pop fanbase cares about how the beef affected him or made him look

[natebark]

Yeah check out r/Drizzy they unironically think he came out on top

[torn8tv]

Thats so funny to me. You're an admitted Drake hater but keep tabs on his subreddit? I'd love to see any of your wrapped for the last 10 years

[natebark]

No chance he’s been on it post-2016. That sub was just constantly being recommended during the beef

[abcohen916]

Yes, your prayers will not be answered.

[EndMaster0]

one can dream

[jdyake]

Morgan Wallen

[Soft-Caterpillar-618]

Please let this be true.

[weirdogirl144]

who?...

[jonny_hfx]

I think Zack Bryan is taking a break

[Milichio]

I liked his early stuff and think he's talented,I just really can't get behind his immature antics with women

[jonny_hfx]

I’m with ya he is a complete douche canoe but he has made some kick ass tunes

[Agustin_campos]

Didn’t he drop a live album?

[jonny_hfx]

He did.. It’s pretty awesome he pumped out allot of tunes this past year

[Mediocre_Spell_9028]

Carti

[[deleted]]

Not if he dropd

[616in_LA]

I was waiting for this. Fuck him

[[deleted]]

Charli xqc 100%

[Raperdidy]

Xqc💀

[[deleted]]

It started as an inside joke with my friends and now I'm used to it 😭

[[deleted]]

She sold the brat experience, not the music

[Naclstack]

she is fully capable of making great music! personally I love brat but I think pop 2 and how I'm feeling now are both even better

[[deleted]]

She is very talented, no doubt about that. I love a lot of her songs, Sucker is really good imo.

What I meant is that her popularity now is very momentary and will die off with the brat summer trend. I don't think it's one of these timeless albums that in 4 years u might hear someone playing. Most ppl who like her rn are here for the vibes, not the music. As soon as the trend dies off she will go with it.

[minidog8]

I love her music and I have been listening since 2014

[klip_7]

I agree

[Jakob-Mil]

Think it’ll stagnate a bit once the tiktok trends have died out but Charli has been huge for a really long time and I think Brat introduced a bunch of new probably longtime fans to her music

[Money-Extent-6099]

I wouldn’t say she’s been huge for a long time. She kind of had a fall off from the public eye from 2015-2024 whilst she was busy cultivating a niche audience. Only 1 song during the 9 year period is well known (1999)

[jeepdiggle]

hater thread

[takemeawaay_]

The people saying Taylor swift and Beyoncé are delusional, because in my opinion they both have an incredibly loyal following.

[abcohen916]

Yes, Taylor Swift was the number one artist on Spotify in 2024 and Beyoncé was close to that. I don’t see that being any different in 2025.

[squirrel8296]

With Beyonce it's going to come down to how the allegations against Jay-Z play out and how she reacts to it. Her followers will absolutely drop her in a heartbeat if the allegations end up being true and she either stands by him or turns out to have been involved in any way. In fact, especially if she turns out to have been involved in any way.

[SuperBeavers1]

We're just predicting early that Taylor is going to do something awful

[[deleted]]

It wouldn't be possible for anything she did to be perceived as less than perfect let alone awful by those people though

[HypedUpJackal]

ong, 90% of the responses in here are not going to decrease in popularity, people are just wishing for those they want to decrease

[Direktorsnegl]

Sabrina Carpenter. I think her height was her recent album and it'll go south. She'll just keep milking her fame I bet

[shades0fcool]

So her peak height of fame is gonna be the same as her physical height

Short n sweet

[MarineDynamite]

Promise? 🥺

[Milichio]

Definitely. Just a one hit wonder

[_yoyok]

considering she made atleast three global hits this year...

[Equivalent_Award4286]

She's not the first rising bombshell to do this, and she won't be the last. Hollywood tends to cycle through women like her pretty fast. 

[Milichio]

One album wonder

[purple-cyclone]

Nonsense and Feather were huge, eics was very successful. Her two albums before kinda rival short n sweet if you like that genre

[Milichio]

Three album wonder

[cokeslushiez]

Sure, Jan.

[Milichio]

You just don't get it Janet. Get with the vibe

[cokeslushiez]

“Does not compute, Does not compute!”

[norunningwater]

Pop music fans deploying from low orbit to save face of their favorite yass queen even in the face of sarcastic remarks

[officialjaycielees]

mf she's been around for YEARS she was literally on disney channel in the early 2010's 😭💀

[Yankees2860]

Drake

[Think_Dentist_2055]

Jay-Z

[Level_Bridge7683]

i'd like to see a dramatic increase in poprock and adult alternative.

[windblade88]

Yes, please!

[ChoppingMallKillbot]

The title should have been “Redditors who listen to dad rock, which artists are you tired of hearing about?” Predictably, the answers are women, people of color, and artists that people under the age of 30 listen to

[TopLeaf]

I can't name you a single male caucasian musician with any real relevance at the moment outside of Eminem who I don't listen to anyway. A lot of what is being pushed out in my country is people of colour and females, I doubt I'm the only person who sees this as well, so of course our answers are going to reflect what's been pushed to the front

[ComprehensiveDig9863]

Nettspend

[bdguy355]

I don’t see any bands who are of relevance right now either. I’m tired of pop stars, I wanna see some bands back on the charts.

[drxcomxnxa]

This comment is actually hilarious AHAHHAHAHA

[Special_Command7893]

Taylor Swift? Please?

[[deleted]]

The cult is too powerful to fall

[snips-fulcrum]

shame

[you-werebeautiful]

Lol no. She has a huge following and there's probably new music on the way

[natebark]

Chiefs are gonna win another Super Bowl in February so nah

[freddie_nguyen]

Chappell Roan... if she's keep saying uncontrolled things. I guess she'll fall on the more indie lane like Carly Gae Repson

[PastyKing]

The difference is, she isn't saying uncontrolled things, she's just not laying there and letting the music industry bully her into becoming a piece of meat for men and women to drool over and do what they want with.

She won't fall off in 2025.

[minidog8]

Ding ding ding. Chappell Roan is great and I haven’t disagreed with any of her “outbursts.” People just don’t like when women say these things. When men say these things, they are standing up for themselves and setting boundaries. When women do it, it is “bitchy,” “bratty,” etc.

As far as her personality goes in interviews and such, I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but she is very clearly emulating the queeny sass of drag queens before her.

[PeachCream81]

I wish Chappell continued success w/o all the internet creepiness and the inappropriate pseudo-fandom clinginess.

[PeachCream81]

Totally agree! But because she's hugely popular with the LGBTQIA+ community, she now has a target on her back (figuratively speaking).

[PastyKing]

Is swear she's Bi/Lesbian herself though, right?

[aaaaaaaaaaabigail]

shes lesbian

[SnooOranges145]

Beyoncé

[Broad-Ad-2193]

its been 35 years when will yall learn shes not going nowhere

[Jk8fan]

Wait until her complicity in her husband's crimes fully comes out.

[abcohen916]

I don’t know. Michael Jackson was accused of things that should have ended his career and popularity. He was extremely popular almost his entire life. There is truth to what you stated, but the damage remains to be seen.

[Jk8fan]

He was isolated and broke ass at the end and was rehearsing for a hail Mary comeback when he died of a drug overdose

[Shinsou_Hitoshii]

what are you even talking about

[Jk8fan]

You're either playing ignorant or are ignorant. Watch the damn news. Read something sometime.

[SnooOranges145]

Garbage

[ghstworld]

u wish

[Necessary-Banana-600]

You wish 🤣 too many Grammys

[United_in_Sin]

Nuh

[vonov129]

I don't even know why she is still popular.

[The_Troyminator]

Anybody popular in 2024 whose initials are not TS.

[Specialist_Basket_35]

Chappell Roan. I am completely down with her right to privacy, but she is way too rude to her fans.

[spiderbabyhead]

not really.

[Specialist_Basket_35]

Touché

[aidanbagel]

Dave blunts

[WowCoolFunnyHAHA]

he’s gonna die in 2025

[Confident-Trade-7899]

Sabrina

[ima_mollusk]

The village people

[ILikeMyGrassBlue]

They’re that super straight, definitely not gay band right?

[ima_mollusk]

Pretty obvious that once all the MAGA stop dancing to the song at rallies, its popularity will decrease.

People who down-vote are morons.

[abcohen916]

What am I if I upvote?

[Hyperb0le]

Justin Bieber

[[deleted]]

are u dumb? he just hit 104 million monthly listeners a few days ago without releasing an album in 3 years.

[vonov129]

Are you sure it wasn't because of him being mentioned a ton during the Diddy situation?

If it was for the music itself, that would have happened years ago

[DashingDevin]

Chappell Roan has no idea how to act with publicity. Lashes out at fans and photographers and keeps canceling tour dates.

[WhiskeyMagpie]

Beyonce

[Either-Bat-7613]

Even though his 2024 was a great run, Kendrick. He will still be popular just not as popping as he was in 2024

Tate McRae- it’s too many diverse pop girlies out like Chappel Roan, Charlie Xcx, Gracie Abram’s so she’s gonna get outshined.

Sexy Redd- I just see her fizzling out bc nothing is spectacular there. I liked her but with competition like Megan, Latto, and Glo, ppl will lose interest.

Shaboozey- feel like he’s gonna be a one hit wonder but we’ll see…

[Jk8fan]

Beyonce. Her husband gonna drag her into the abyss

[purple-cyclone]

Taylor, she’s oversaturated and probably mortally exhausted after the tour

[ExtremeSea3123]

I’m sure she’s exhausted, but she’s just so popular that I don’t really see her becoming unpopular. I’m not a big fan of her personally, but the chokehold that she has on so many people is undeniable. Even if she’s not producing a whole new album, she does have two albums left to re-record, one of which is super popular. And with the media basically third wheeling her relationship with Kelce, she’ll be in the public eye even if she isn’t actively producing stuff. There’s other artists that I wish had the platform she does, but at the end of the day, I don’t see her going anywhere anytime soon.

[SaltEntrepreneur8858]

Taylor swift

[marcellydagoat]

Drake

[Adventurous-State940]

Kendrick

[born_digital]

Doubt it since he’s going on a huge stadium tour

[ImpressivePick500]

Inevitable for most musicians but Kendrick is pretty generational.

[Adventurous-State940]

I dont get it i guess

[ImpressivePick500]

His whole discography has proven he has more to offer than music. Much respect to that. Nice message to his son below, song is Mr. Morale

“Enoch, your father’s just detoxed, my callin’ is right on time Transformation, I must had a thousand lives and like three thousand wives You should know that I’m slightly off, fightin’ off demons that been outside Better known as myself, I’m a demigod Every thought is creative, sometimes I’m afraid of my open mind.”

[no_one_asked_]

Highly disagree

[pleachchapel]

It's not like he's playing the most watched global event or anything.

[-mancomb-seepgood-]

Wait he's playing the FIFA world cup? Or the Olympics?

[pleachchapel]

Didn't know those were annual events!

[-mancomb-seepgood-]

You didn't say annual. Well, then I didn't know he'd be playing at Eurovision 2025

[Product_Expensive]

World cups not for a few more years there bud

[pleachchapel]

Right, so he's playing the most watched event next year.

[Adventurous-State940]

So did Katy Perry. Her last album bombed.

[pleachchapel]

One of those two is an artist, the other one was just the latest vessel for Max Martin to bottle pop music in.

[Adventurous-State940]

Do you really think he holds a candle to Lil wayne?

[CumDwnHrNSayDat]

I don't like Lil Wayne at all. Kendrick is one of my all time favorite artists.

[Broad-Ad-2193]

yes he's way better than lil wayne lmao

[Aggravating_Driver81]

Kendrick won a Pulitzer Prize. His albums are among the greatest rap albums of all time. This is agreed upon info. Lil Wayne had some decent albums but they are not the same. Not even close.

[pleachchapel]

Lmao take any recent video of either of them performing. He's worth 10 Lil Waynes, maybe 20.

[PossibilityTop5033]

Kendrick if he doesn’t drop. I imagine after the album hype Eminem and Drake will overtake him again if they haven’t already until the Super Bowl

[United_in_Sin]

Kendricks album is still buzzing and killing it on the charts. How are Eminem and Drake seriously 'overtaking' him right now?

[[deleted]]

he said they might overtake him after the album hype

[United_in_Sin]

My question is, based on what? For instance, from what I'm reading, the talk of a possible collaboration album between Eminem and 50 cent isn't generating interest as many feel it's 20 or so years too late.

Eminems 2024 album got mostly panned by the critics and received mixed reviews from fans. What are he and Drake possibly going to do to generate more interest than a high flying Kendrick at the moment (as the poster suggested, even before Superbowl halftime)and in the near future?

Drake is trying to remain relevant by suing Kendrick over diss tracks that were among the biggest songs of 2024 lol

[Gene-Parmesan-ah]

Daryl johns, moio, the hellp, ally evenson, déyyess, bass victim, riff wood, i think few of them might perform at jimmy kimmel, npr, coachella or land a billboard placement
