is the country🎵 overtake on the charts a sign of what's to come politically in 2024

[tili33]

what do you think? is the u.s headed for a red wave?

You'd be surprised how many democrats love country music, I would say no

[Klein]

I'm not sure the genre of music that is toping the charts is an indication of the political future. I mean, hip hop/rap/trap-influenced songs (mainly black-inherited genres (is that the right way of saying it?)) were dominating the music scene in the second half of the 2010s and look who became president...

Yes and I think Elon's twitter will encourage conservative base during the  Election 

[Distantconstellation]

No and most yall are so ignorant when it comes to politics. One user here wanted Pete buttigieg to become president just because he was gay. Seriously some of you just make me mad. Yall don't care about policy at all.

Country's always been huge in the US

[nostalgic]

It's not unusual for the popular music of the day to be contrarian to the current political climate. The 80s were dominated by conservative politics but some of the most open and carefree music came out of that decade

Country music is dominating and I'm loving it!

Country music has always been massive in the US.  Garth brooks was the biggest act of the 90s. Shania Twain has the biggest female album.  The Dixie Chicks sold about as much as Britney Spears.  Lady Antebellum’s Need You Now outsold Teenage Dream.  Taylor Swift’s debut album outsold Good Girl Gone Bad and Loose combined.

No. The GP as a whole loves country. I have a fair amount of friends who are liberal/progressive, live in a big city, etc. and they regularly listen to it.

I love country and have always, ever since I could, actively voted Democratic—being registered as such. Songs trending and charting have nothing to do with the way a person votes. That said, I really am not ready for next year's election. It's going to be nasty.

no, mainstream country music has become super "commercial-popish" which has made a broader fanbase to pop in (no pun intended)
