KORG 4,756 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Idk if there's a post for it, but can we please discuss how this guy is Beyonce-ing his career? This is isfirst big solo tour & 2nd solo tour overall.. he is doing multiple stadiums, something like 15 nights at MSG, a million dates in inglewood, and a double at Foro Sol to name a few. I'm not a big fan (though I say that, im not not a fan) but his meteoric rise & success is incredible. It's giving me BTWB hype levels. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TasteLikeWhiskey 1,561 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Isn't the problem that he isn't really well liked? Where I am from, he doesn't even feature on any radio or hits list...ever. I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at his 1st & 2nd week album sales for his latest album, which is relatively middle of the road... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His song is charting pretty much everywhere and women love him. What country are you from, if I may ask? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What country are you from, if I may ask? South Africa. So don't be so shocked BUT, the 'IT' artists are definitely always trending here. So I take it as a good indicator of worldwide fame from my pov. So I guess all I am saying is - Harry hasn't yet been able to penetrate the market as other popular artists have.

I'm just giving you receipts so you know that even though he's not that big in South Africa he is HUGE everywhere else. He's currently the 4th most streamed artist overall, next to Bieber, The Weeknd and Ed Sheeran so he's definitely joined the big league now. And his song is probably the biggest hit right now, on radio as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, his song is #4 on Spotify in South Africa so he must be successful there as well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Spotify is a colonialist invention here I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
