paradox 4,568 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 So a certain thread has sparked this curiosity. How much do you care about the music vs how much do you care about the charts/acclaim/public image etc of an artist? Do you not care about charts whatsover? Does a chart position or metacritic score change your opinion on something? Music vs bling: 50/50? 70/30? 100/0? or? And why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elijahfan 26,275 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I'm interested in an artist first and foremost for the music. But it sure doesn't hurt when your fave smashes the charts and gets awards. The main focus shouldn't be about this tho - I feel like I'm being quite obvious here, but whatever.

dynamite 59,466 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I find the majority of chart music these days is generic, throwaway sh*t, so I'd prefer it if it wasn't written for the charts If it's successful, great, but if not then it doesn't affect my opinion of the song.

Grim 2,231 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Music is the most important Otherwise I don't care about the bling but the artist's image is also important to me Poppy - Internet mystery, all that cult scheisse and nowadays she's just bad@ss Lordi - Come on it's a band of monsters, how cool is that etc I'm probably wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

River 117,018 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Charts are dumb, music is not a competition, the charts made the stan wars, the hits machines, stans trashing good music because it sold less than 200k.. charts sucks. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weed 73,860 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 I mean none of us are getting that bling, we're giving them bling lmao but it is satisfying/nice to see your fave be successful. Music first and foremost, bling is an added bonus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purity Ring is unparalleled in the music industry to this day. Megan James’ lyrics are the best in the history of music, PERIOD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostken 929 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Music and artistic vision first. But a successful marketing plan is still needed in my opinion. A great vision has no impact if you can't communicate it right with your target audience. Chart success (the bling) follows organically after that.
