Yeah I feel like they’re purposely discrediting those artists

Maybe it's because streaming hits are different from hits from people buying singles on 45 + radio airplay & 78s before that. Even if the entire history of the Billboard charts was used, Drake, Lil' Wayne, Glee, & Nicki Minaj have more Hot 100 entries than anybody else. Pre-internet, only songs released as a physical single and its B-side could chart on the Hot 100 and other singles charts. Not album tracks even if they got radio airplay. With streaming, every song on an album can chart at one time, single or not. That's how Drake beat The Beatles record on having the most songs in the Top 10 at one time. The difference is that people bought The Fab 4 singles.

I love how your knowledge about the different eras and climates in pop music history leads up to some pretty neat conclusions and guessings. You’re completely right. You can’t compare a time when CDs and physical products were at the forefront of the music market and a time where digitalized audio has become the norm of consuming music.

If you go back far enough, most people bought sheet music because there were no records or radio. Songs like Camptown Races & Yankee Doodle were popular then. Stephen Foster was popular in the sheet music days. There was also a time when people listened to the radio for serials with actors more than music. A lot of people thought that the earth was really being attacked by UFOs because of the Orson Wells broadcast of War Of The Worlds. There was a Superman radio program too called The Adventures Of Superman. Amos n' Andy started out on radio long before a TV sitcom was made of it. The radio version had white actors in the title roles, who also made a movie in the 1930s in blackface (Check And Double Check), but the TV version in the 1950s had black actors. It was one of the first TV shows to have a black cast.

i still have not heard this song. low key proud of myself weirdly about too. i'm not big into streaming and radio sucks whenever i DO listen which is typically because the bluetooth isn't connecting me to my spotify playlists that admittedly need upgrading. but i'm just so uninspired to do so. have NO IDEA who anderson paak is and bruno is so derivative to me. i need someone to make me care about music again, get me excited for a new release. it has to be more than Sade left regarding the latter. right?!

They just had to make the number one hits about this century as bullshit, so they don’t include long time artists who have had number ones Anyways happy for Bruno, totally well deserved

I noticed that too. Ah well... Happy to see this song crest the chart! Now how bout that album??

Hopefully a second single is on the way. Let's hope it's more uptempo and summer-y.

So if silk sonic were nominated for a Grammy next year, would they be eligible for best new artist or not?

Nope. Bruno has like 11 Grammys, having a Best New Artist nomination even as part or a duo sounds very silly
