Wheat Loaf posted:Depends on how strict you want to be about the definition, I suppose. Is a one-hit wonder an artist who has one hit and never appears on the chart again, or is it an artist who has one hit that overshadows everything else they've done. Like, to use the inverse example, Jimi Hendrix only ever had one Top 40 hit on the Hot 100 but he wasn't a one-hit wonder. I follow Chris Molanphy's rules (which were inspired in part by CRJ's hit with Owl City): http://www.villagevoice.com/music/100-and-single-three-rules-to-define-the-term-one-hit-wonder-in-2012-6637330 Not a OHW if 1) top ten hit anytime after the first hit 2) 2d top 40 hit more than 6 months after the first hit (to avoid the halo effect from the "real" hit) 3) 3 top ten or platinum albums over their career Edit; I don't like the "the song everyone remembers" criteria, because over a few decades it basically means that any artist who didn't have enough hits to support a greatest hits album becomes a OHW in the public consciousness. Just because it's cheaper/easier to put the BIGGEST hit on the compilation CD or the radio playlist doesn't erase the other hit(s) the artist had.

Stayne Falls posted:You're saying this satirizes the concept, right? Because that video at least seems pretty aware of how stupidly white it is. That's a post-production "fix" (assuming the director's self awareness). It's very unlikely the intent to satirize was built into the recording process.

Slightly different, but the worst example is the Pomplamoose (I know) cover of "Single Ladies" where she sings about refusing to sing the bridge because it's so beneath her.

Jethro Tull over Metallica is legendary. I don't think there's been another example where the actual genre decision was wrong. I'm sure there were bigger snubs at the nomination side, but most of those are lost to history and up for debate. Fake Edit: Good Vibrations didn't get a Record of the Year nom the year it came out. Yesterday didn't win song of the year the same year.

Evanescence over FoW is actually hilarious, because FoW got a BNA nomination after their third album - despite having two legitimate, evergreen alt radio hits off of their first album.

Wait... she wrote a bunch of songs, then decided which ones would best fit together to form a successful and popular album?

That's not what actually happened. It doesn't sound as though the case was dismissed (though that might still happen). The judge just ruled that the contract is still valid while the case is being determined. It sucks - especially in this context - but preliminary injunctions have a very very high bar, even in things like constitutional cases. Tl;dr: Filing a lawsuit doesn't cancel the contract while you decide whether there are grounds to cancel the contract.

A lot K-pop girl bands are mining--if not mimicking--90s R&B for their singles, but your tolerance for foreign language music may vary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkSOOiMDGiY

DC Murderverse posted:i heard the new Twenty One Pilots and i had the realization that they're basically Linkin Park as far as being a super-successful rock band who regularly integrates rap into their songs https://www.stereogum.com/2009909/korn-follow-the-leader-turns-20-trl/franchises/the-week-in-pop/ Off-topic to the thread, but relevant to this thought: this writer links 21 Pilots (and many SoundCloud rappers) to the legacy of Korn.

exquisite tea posted:Taylor Swift is the biggest music star in the world and has been for quite some time. She's bigger than Beyonce. As such she's kind of graduated beyond the need for singles or radio airplay. I think many countries outside the US would dispute this conclusion.

Happens to the best of us They were actually finishing a Sad Oompah Loompa, but saw the opportunity for a quick pivot with a new EDIT: Holy crap, I totally forgot to post what I came to post. The daughter of Pino Palladino has put out an album. The songs are all uniformly (maybe a bit monotonously) solid, in a "Rhythm Nation-era, mid-tempo bop" kinda way, but she definitely has her dad's ear for top-tier production on a song-to-song basis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV2t4cMAi0c The Modern Leper fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Apr 12, 2024 |
