As a hard rocker back in the 1980s, I can say the Guns N Roses initial success (which took about a year to kick in, btw) was due to being perceived as slightly more serious, gritty and harder than your average sunset strip glam metal band. Their sound was less slick and bubblegum scented than say, Poison, and felt more in line with 70s era Aerosmith - 70s rock in general was starting seep back in (see The Cult "Electric", Jane's Addiction, Danzig 1, Soundgarden, etc.), so it was perfect timing. From there, their lasting appeal is down to clever pop metal songwriting.

Hey Antony, thanks for the entertainment. I know you don’t do as many let’s argue videos because most of the takes you get are garbage but I gotta say it’s one of my favorite segments you do. Keep the grind going and have a good night.

4:23 as an artist who tried discovery mode out on a song while its still in beta, i saw an immediate increase in streams which kept rising and is currently at 10x the daily plays compared to before I opted in, went from 1k to 10k a day on that song, and my monthly listening shot up from about 35k to 76k in 2.5 weeks. A good thing about it is you can opt in on specific songs so its not like they are locking you into the deal once you use it. Another thing is that they are only taking royalties from plays in the geographical areas where discovery mode is in effect, so all in all I think its a good feature at this moment but its heavy usage when it is fully released will probably water down the effect eventually making it obsolete, or even worse it will be a requirement if you want to be heard the same way you were before. Update: went from 76k to 82k monthly listeners yesterday, biggest jump yet 2nd update: song is still improving on numbers with the highest being 20k in a day and im about to reach 200k monthly listeners

@trunja2292

Жыл бұрын

Another thing I forgot to add, due to the algorithmic nature of discovery mode, with the sudden increase in traffic on my song, the quality of my listeners has gone down, less people are returning to the music and my streams/listener went from around 4.5 to 2.5

Saying that when there are so many true MCs, not just mainstream, but particularly in the underground, is just _astonishing!_ Pusha-T, himself, is infinitely better, and a real candidate for the GOAT conversation. I told Ak fans, being unintentionally hilarious is not the same as being funny lol

Ak is even worse than you say.

Wikipedia considers TVU&N a collaborative album but people generally don't because she only sings on 4 of the 11 songs (1 of which being background vocals), didn't write on it, and was mostly just on it at the behest of Andy Warhol. It's collaborative in that they're both on it, but not in that they worked on it together, she was a late add-on to an already finished batch of songs.

What makes Guns N Roses so famous is their post-debut era. Whilst the debut carries the most famous songs, Sweet Child O Mine, Welcome to the Jungle and more (and is their best album) it is their stardom during the late 80s as a cultural movement that makes them so famous. Plus, as a now more subtle and mature listener who used to love GNR as a kid, their melodic songs (Civil War, November Rain) still hit like a fucking train when ur ready for them. Idk, dumb band, but one a lot of people cherish for what it meant for them growing up. (Kind of like a hard rock Elton John)

This aged well

On the spotify deal - it definitely has a significant effect on exposing your music to more listeners, spotify can 100% snap their fingers and send you attention. It's especially beneficial for periods where artists aren't consistently releasing as it keeps music circulating in the algorithm (justifying the royalty cut because you would be getting less streams anyways, w/o releasing in todays landscape). I still think it's somewhat exploitive, but it's also just Spotify supplying the demand for exposure.

The "Welcome to the JUNGLE BABY!!!" edits were fantastically hilarious

Man I got news for you

The smart way for Spotify to sell exposure would be to improve the algorithm and only apply the improvements to the artists who paid, but keep the number of recommendations the same. I.e. you as the listener will see the same things you see now except a few of those recommendations will be way more relevant for you. And if every artist bought in every recommendation would be gold, and overall people might listen to more music I guess. Plus random promotions like with the KZread algorithm to show off how artists can get crazy boosts in popularity from data science payola.
