Plenty of Top 40 is still generic easy listening for anyone. Ed Sheeran - Perfect is the 8th most streamed song on Spotify and could have been released in basically any era. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk is the 6th most viewed video on Youtube and sounds straight out to the 70s to me.
- jariel 6y agoAbsolutely - if Ed and Bruno were more prevalent, no doubt. But look at the actual Hot100. It's just not that, it's very dominated by unlistenable stuff.
- _puk 6y agoĒd Sheeran was so prevalent at one point that they had to change the rules for the Top40 (in the UK), limiting it to 3 from the same artist [0]. 16 out of the top 20 songs were from Ed when he released his 2017 album ÷. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jun/27/official-charts-company-shakes-up-rules-support-new-talent-ed-sheeran-effect https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/jun/27/official-chart...
- jariel 6y agoYes, Ed as an individual is amazingly prevalent, I was aware of that. But overall, that kind of music, is not. Have a look at the Hot100 right now: https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100 https://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100
- joe5150 6y agoclearly the songs are all very “listenable”—they’re the most popular songs in the country and apparently the world right now
