I was sharing music with a friend and their reaction upon being shown an artist (not even listening) was "ew less than 100k monthly listens”

bro? is this your metric for good music ? how many people listen to it on Spotify ?

if this is how avg ppl see music it explains a lot about top 40 charts

Funny, cuz lots of the ones who say “ew less than 100k listens” will also say they’re not into pop music. Wondering what they think “pop” is short for lmao

Pop is a genre, and does not necessarily stand for popular music

You’re right and also wrong. It’s a genre defined by being meant for an audience as wide as possible. It evolves over time. Trying to be popular is like the entire point of pop.
