I have to imagine the overlap between Joni Mitchell and Rogan listeners is pretty slim
- coldtea 5y agoEspecially since the whole Venn circle of Joni Mitchell listeners in 2022 is pretty slim.
- archagon 5y agoFun fact! Instead of making stuff up, you can just look it up! Joni Mitchell monthly listeners: 3,732,448 Taylor Swift monthly listeners: 53,819,855 Seems like she’s doing pretty OK to me.
- coldtea 5y ago14 times worse than Taylor Swift, despite having 3 times the career span and back catalogue? That's about what (90s Danish-Norwegian euro-pop act) Aqua get on Spotify (and tons of other acts besides, even one-hit wonders).
- archagon 5y agoA 60's and 70's folk singer vs. Taylor Swift, a modern mega-artist that almost every young person knows the name of? Yeah, 14x sounds pretty darn fine to me.
- wgj 5y agoYou can count me in that circle. I have recently, finally, gotten around to listening to her late 70s albums Hejira and Mingus, and plan to continue through her later albums. Genius isn't dictated by marketing and pop radio.
- coldtea 5y agoNo, but impact on Spotify is (which was my point). No Joni would be equivalent in "lost streams" to no Aqua or no Max Richter.
- slibhb 5y agoThis is not the case. Old music does good business. This has been a popular topic recently in the media e.g. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/01/old-music-killing-new-music/621339/
- stjohnswarts 5y agoI didn't know who she is and I'm in my early 40's. I recognized the music when I looked her up though, I've heard some of it before of course, just didn't know the name.
