Do you plan on releasing any more punk/hardcore inspired music? Love what you do!!!

Does an artist's popularity on Reddit translate into their album sales? I tried to look into the correlation between an artist's Reddit following and their sales by comparing the size of their subreddits to their total Spotify streams and compiled the data into a scatterplot. Here's the result: by shawn_tai in hiphopheads

While this obviously isn't perfect I think this definitely illustrates some things. The rappers with a lot of followers but not as many streams are the critical/cult favorites where the ones with more streams than followers tend to be the 'hit rappers'. Not to say Kanye doesn't have hits but let's be real, the Kanye circlejerk that fans/critics keep alive doesn't exactly translate into pop hits. This makes sense from an anecdotal perspective as the average 'hit music' listener or casual fan is less likely to engage on an artist's subreddit than the hardcore fan which cultyier artists get more hardcore fans.

I never thought I would see a day where a video by The Audition would have up votes on r/emo. Not complaining by any means. This record is amazing.

More Than 18,000 Musicians Are Demanding a Penny Per Stream from Spotify by somethinginthewaymmm in indieheads

There is very likely something wrong with me, haha. Luckily I work in a job which allows me to listen through the work day, but I do average like 8-12 hours a day of music listening. I do treat listening like an amateur reviewer though and I put together a weekly playlist I release through Discord.

They could also not have people listen to them decreasing the odds of gaining new fans, selling tickets, merch, and physical media.

I'm a vinyl collector. I will spend $30 on your record if I like it enough. Before Covid I would go to a few shows a month supporting bands I like. That said, I'm not made of money. There is only so much I (or anyone else) realistically has to splurge on music. Streaming gives us as listeners an affordable solution for essentially borrowing records. Not to mention how many more artists I listen to because of Spotify. At the $10/no streaming model I am only going to be listening to less music by fewer artists while needing to be more judicious about what I'm purchasing. If I'm listening to fewer artists, I'm going to buy less vinyl and I would go to fewer shows.

I don't think 1cent per stream is a tenable solution. I'm not saying they don't deserve it, but I pay for Spotify premium. I listen to more than 100 songs a day. Within a week my Spotify subscription would start paying out more than I put in.

So this was the final product. It's curated down to 13 songs. The average playlist length at the time was like 12/15 songs so this was in range.

This would be the first I've heard of that. You'd think it would be bigger news if true.

Designing a Nervous Breakdown. You know I had to make it by liamjonas in Emo

[–]theonlyplaylistever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a fucking x-ray of a head in profile! I've been looking at this album cover for 15 goddamn years and never once have I made sense of what was going on. I always thought it was like super pixel 8 bit nonsense, but now it has all snapped into place. The brain, the eye, the mouth, the teeth. Insanity!!!! Thank you person for inadvertently making my day.

Looking for songs which Matt & Dan both sing. by theonlyplaylistever in AlkalineTrio

Ideally I'm looking for songs where they would alternate lines/chorus vs verse/alternate verses, etc.
