perpetual novice Posted June 3 Posted June 3 it is the opposite issue. it is so competitive and saturated that it is basically impossible to stand out, labels have no quick formula and are completely stuck. it's probably the most competitive era of pop music there's ever been. 1
Wicked Posted June 3 Posted June 3 8 minutes ago, Virgos Groove said: We saw what hapenned when Courtney Love gave her (pretty mild) opinion on Taylor. Pop stans say they want drama, but most really don't. Imagine Billie pulling a Prince and saying "the only reason Taylor called her album TTPD was because Music for Guantanamo Sessions was too on-the-nose"... this place would explode. They'll type essays about her being jealous, internalized misogyny, etc etc,. It's boring. The stans probably softer than the artists. The coddling era is here. 3
bielneira Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Thank God, my fave was always like this. She competes with herself, and that's all
Into The Void Posted June 3 Posted June 3 It's still competitive it's just hard for some to find major success or keep that success but it's ok. Arts >> charts

Peak Now Posted June 3 Posted June 3 You say this when there are quite literally 4 songs doing over 300 points on the Hot 100, and no single has gone #1 for more than 3 consecutive weeks yet
réveuse Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Of course it is. The Taylor Swift monopoly is literally sullying music. 2
sweetkiss Posted June 3 Posted June 3 its super competitive, where you dont see much competition is artists pushed by labels as they all have same producers or writers. but since you dont need label to push your stuff theres more artists than ever and everyone can feel fed and doesnt have to wait 99 years for next release

More like giving the music industry a wake up call. Other artists just need to make good music. Taylor is just leading by example. Many these days only seem to care about making 2 minute songs and quick little hits. It's no wonder many walk in Taylor's shadow. Edited June 3 by Buffy 1
OrgVisual Posted June 3 Posted June 3 As people said, the Hot 100 has never been as competitive as these recent weeks The album chart, on the other hand, is flawed and there are too many shenanigans in place to scam the system
Dolce Vita Posted June 3 Posted June 3 it's literally the opposite pop music is so beyond saturated that it's very difficult for non established artists to break into the pop girl conversation and if they do they have a slim chance of lasting outside of the cute lil single that the gp uses for one summer
Asscatchem Posted June 3 Posted June 3 huh? olivia was smashing and competitive taylor stole 50% of her profits and is timing her vinyl releases against the younger girls debut week. the girls are still fighting 1 1 1
Strawberry Bubble Posted June 4 Author Posted June 4 As many of you have mentioned, the Hot 100 is oversaturated. But are singles really the way to stand out in today's music market? The decline of radio has made it almost impossible for artists who depend on the success of their singles to succeed. Only album artists seem to have any type of future. The industry is struggling to create new competitive artists who don't just stand out thanks to their singles. Most of the time, it's faceless music, and this is where this post comes from: yes, you can have a number one on the Billboard Hot 100, but does it mean anything if it's forgotten two minutes after it's published? What I'm trying to say is that I don't think having a number one on the Billboard Hot 100 is the main goal for artists in today's music landscape, nor does it guarantee a lasting career in the industry.
Frappucino Posted June 4 Posted June 4 In a way yes because I think pop culture itself is being redefined due to us getting out of a pandemic hence why there's no MPGs and the fate of the Billboard Charts somewhat depends on a random ass variable like TikTok
Cleanromantic Posted June 4 Posted June 4 It's still competitive. Billie released a billion variants and slowed down and sped up versions of her album, just because she ended up losing doesn't mean she didn't compete .
XDNA Posted June 4 Posted June 4 There's many reasons for the state of music... I also think Taylor-mania is one of the reasons but it's not the only reason.
