Watch Lawbriana drop

I don’t know why they don’t. Like we all know already that their userbase is way smaller than Spotify’s it’s not some big secret, just share the numbers

you must have better luck then me my homepage stays the same for 2 weeks unless i go and click "not interested in this s***"

Of course the first major album this change affects is Don’t Be Dumb, that album can’t catch a break man

that’s his own dumbass fault for pump faking this long

Might as well surprise drop it early at this point

“That was a TE$T… DON’T BE DUMB JANUARY 2ND DIRECTED BY TIM BURTON”

Shout out to bill board, guy gets too much hate

Mannnn I really don’t like the premise this flirts with, paid streams should absolutely be worth more than free streams

That's a good question

• The UI is better. You click through songs and recommendations with view data right there. You can put a lot of personality in a thumbnail.

• The algorithm seems less restrictive. I get suggested stuff that I don't think I would have heard of otherwise. That rarely happens on autoplay. Especially with obscure/old/weird stuff.

• The threshold of having made a music video usually filters out the lowest effort stuff that you run into just going in blind elsewhere.

I think Spotify, Apple etc having relationships with labels really narrows all of that. YouTube is more like Bandcamp with better quality control re: you had to actually make a music video. They don't really seem to care what you're watching as long as you are watching, and their algorithm reflects that.

So music vids have literally no meaning anymore

music videos were a thing before streaming. its a form of art. dont dumb it down

I know but thats how it'll be for many of our rappers tho

Esp the newer gen who dont give af bout the art form

i mean i dont really give a f*** if an artist does music videos or not, but ill peep if they do

This is one of the better changes imo. They just need to decrease radio weight.

Name some artists who resonate without visuals

And YouTube still pays out for those views

stevie

The shades are iconic!

all of them

Thank you russ for my 2026 chart thread talking point

I'm saying who is making it work without visuals. Don't be dense

updated to show solidarity

What are you considering “visuals”? Just music videos?
