Newer country is such a thin line between good and horrendous but sturgill simpson and Tyler Childers are nice

Someone mentioned that the 12 chairs in the beginning were like the jury for a court trial.
The shipping containers are a reference to trafficking.
There's a scene where everyone's celebrating in front of the courthouse.
And it ends with an owl behind bars.

Nah that's Garth, at least of that era. I'm not even a fan but pretty sure he would've outsold Jesus in his prime. He's arguably the best selling solo artist in American history for any genre.

Pretty sure Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson all arguably outrank George Strait, musically.

I've never been into chart watching but with Kendrick I started paying attention. I realized that radio stations still have a huge influence on which songs hit number one on the Billboard charts.

Everyone knows NLU is the song of the year, a global hit and a hot topic across America yet it only stayed at the top for one week.

Meanwhile, crackhead Post Malone's song held the number one spot for seven weeks. If you compare streaming numbers, YT views, and Apple rankings Post's song doesn't come close to NLU but it stayed at the top for almost two months.

Hiphop is the most influential genre but hardly any hiphop songs make it to the top of the Billboard chart. It seems like music labels and radio stations are making sure hiphop doesn't dominate even more.

So, it's funny to me that people still follow charts and check the numbers every week like that loser @thegreatdivine because it's all manipulated by the labels/radio stations.

During NLU's reign I realized there are two Americas: one that represents hiphop and one that represents Post Malone/Taylor Swift etc.

Did you see a month ago when that country artist had a concert in Texas with over 100k ppl? I'd never heard of him b4 and he's a legacy act. It's nuts how many subcultures there are in the US.

It's true

peel back the layers and see it for what it's worth: just what funk flex said a career relaunch. LOL

Only bored fans are latching on to someone acting like a one hit wonder with a diss track to credit.

Look at the game. Nobody is talking about it except bloggers and journalist rejects on Youtube.

Meanwhile Drake building and slowly easing back out on the scene rubbing elbows with deep pockets that ain't caught up in a one-sided beef.

What do you think separated Garth specifically but not just in relation to country, but every major genre? Always been intrigued by that
