I mean....Beyonce has had like three actual solid hits this decade yet she somehow gets amazing sales, tons of awards, and is revered as some other worldly goddess. She is incredibly talented but she never really delivers in her actual music. Its all image to me. When was Beyonce's last HIT? "Drunk in Love" in 2013, "Partition" in 2014, and then even further back "Who Run The World (Girls), in 2011. Then Jay-Z. Like....Magna Carta Holy Grail was okayyy....but I don't feel like it was massive or anything. And his features are rare and kind of weak. I don't get it. I truly don't. Something is truly going on in the music industry right now....like either the rules have been ****ed up in some way or people can actually pay to have a hit to stay relevant. Not even treating that as delusion anymore. How is it that the Top 10 is pretty much 90% male for the past entire year? How is it that Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber and Drake and The Weeknd and Bruno Mars and Charlie Puth and Shawn Mendez and The Chainsmokers and Kendrick Lamar and Calvin Harris just easily bust out massive hits one after the other and huge acts like Lorde, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Iggy Azalea, Rihanna, Selena Gomez who have FAR more DEDICATED bases online and off (than most of these guys) are getting snubbed and barely able to get a Top 20 unless they suck up to some douchey electronic producer? It just feels like the industry really is controlled on a whole new level. I thought streaming would make music more democratic and based on actual talent because it would be purely based on what people liked, not what the radio played, but it ironically actually has become more controlled and monitored by these massive streaming services and only certain artists get promoted on all their playlists and banners that they predict will do well based on computer algorithms, which in turn keeps the same kind of music in rotation (maybe thats why Tropical House will just NOT fall off, even though its normal life expectancy shouldn't have passed 18 months-2 years).....which happens to be alot of guys right now. I'm sorry....I just don't think the general musical taste just magically shifted towards only guys voices. People didn't just stop liking girls voices one day. And its even more odd because there are alot of really great female acts that have just as catchy, edgy, forward thinking music but the industry keeps sucking in these rent-a-rappers like Migos, Lil Uzi Vert, G-Eazy, Fetty Wap, ect. and throwing them on some boring break up song by a "super chill voiced" straight guy. Bitch....WTF happened to the diversity of 2009-2012? ****....even the boring 2000's had more diversity than this. And for the damn record........there is no ****ing way in Hell or on Earth that Jay-Z's new album went Tupperware let alone Platinum. Anyone that believes that is just Preach it Kween, could not have said it better myself. I just can't understand how there are no changes happening in the music industry. If this was any female artist people would be like OH MY GOD they cheated, payola blah blah blah. Since it's a diverse male musician, no one will say anything at all. It's just such a sad time for woman in the music industry. It's just a Trump Society.....sad so gosh darn sad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists literally scamming their way to certifications ctfu I may be wrong but it's impossible for him to get 1.5Bn streams on tidal in the US alone. You don't even have the biggest musicians in the world atm getting that amount of streams. Again I could be wrong but it's very hard to believe such statistics.
