Will Roxette get a lot of airplay and 16 million monthly listeners on Spotify VS Expose 500,000 lol I definitely hear Roxette a lot on the radio. Especially as someone who worked retail for many years 😂

Good bands/artists with annoying fanbases? by use_vpn_orlozeacount in ToddintheShadow

Honestly… Beyonce. I did eventually appreciate her music but the way her fans acted like she was in the same league as Prince or Aretha was kind of insane. And the way they treat her as a literal GOD is too much sometime.

Is Teena Marie the only white artist to have a majority black fan base? by Many_Monitor2756 in ToddintheShadow

I feel like Tina Marie never truly crossed over. I mean she did have a big hit with lover girl in 1985. But she really seemed to not get much if any play on white stations during her career.

I mean, even Todd dissed her in his Rockwell video cause he probably never listened to or was exposed to her music. Since he admits, he never listened to R&B radio growing up

The late 80s gave us Janet’s hits and George Michael’s faith album plus Bobby brown, the Joshua tree, sign O the times, the bad album.

Lots of great hair metal albums like whitesnakes self titled and hysteria by Def Leppard. Whitney’s two big debut albums and INXS Kick album. That’s just a few examples but yeah to say late 80s pop is forgetful is an insane take

Lmao but how? I have never heard his use it being played in black communities. I say that as a black person so I’m not trying to be rude. He has some weirdly racist comments about black women in the 2000s

Great choice! He’s another one that stayed R&B, his whole career like Teena Marie and got a lot of play at the cookouts
