FreeXone Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 On 6/2/2023 at 1:55 PM, wish said: What we're missing rn is new artists blowing UP like they used to. Monoculture is dead & it's extremely hard now, even nearly impossible, for new artists to break out & solidify themselves as mainstays. TikTok has given us dozens of hit songs but very few stars. And the recent artists who capture a fanbase are C-List at BEST, people like Coi Leray, Kim Petras, Tate McRae, Sabrina Carpenter, Latto, Lizzy McAlpine, etc. Ice Spice is the only full breakout artist we've seen this year... this is going to be the norm. The days of a Megastar are done. It’s going to be many many smaller artist with little loyal fan bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spree Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 the days of the megastar are done cuz these new artists aren't releasing SMASH after SMASH. Olivia comes close, I guess. Maybe Harry, too. But the biggest megastars of yesteryear: Madonna, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Mariah, Prince, even Gaga and Rihanna.....it was smash after smash after smash after smash. Are these new artists releasing like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Quite a few albums have been released that I enjoy! But indeed, little new music from the pop girls. There are a lot of big stadium tours this summer tho! Taylor, Beyoncé, Pink, The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Coldplay.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride4jc1222 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Part of the problem is that the GP seems to be tuning out new music, especially since Morgan’s album release. People are content on streaming songs from 2018-2020, like Sunflower and Heat Waves. Sunflower is #39 on US Spotify after more than 4.5 years, lol. Even Taylor isn’t immune to this. The GP seems to be streaming Cruel Summer over Karma, with Hits Different and SotB failing to debut/re-enter the Top 25. The landscape of the music industry is different now than it was in October-early March. Back then, artists were releasing albums that easily got over 200k, 300k organically, even during the Christmas season (Metro Boomin, SZA). Now, artists are struggling to even get to 125k organically. Speak Now TV and Olivia aren’t going to do as well as some people think. For whatever reason, the GP isn’t hungry for new music at this time. I’m not so sure that Taylor and Olivia are the quick fix (heck, we just saw Taylor flop with Hits Different/SotB).

Normally there is always at least one ongoing era by a MPG but this is just ridiculous. There is literally nothing going on, outside of albums that were already released in 2022. This!!! Even if you didn’t like who it was someone ALWAYS had an era going on! Rihanna alone kept us fed from 2005-2017 then just dipped. The last proper era by a pop girl or anyone for that matter was the future nostalgia era. now artist are scoring just one big hit that stays on the charts for 52 weeks.

perpetual novice Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 There's still the same amount of music coming out, new artists appearing, and all that stuff. It just doesn't feel the way that it used to because the way that music comes out is much more lowkey now. These big album "eras" with big visuals, lots of videos, promo runs and all those frills are multi million $ endeavours and music just doesn't earn back the money like it used to. Releases for the vast majority of artists have slimmer budgets and a much higher risk factor attached to them these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
