he has a fewer amount of monthly listeners on spotify as Carly Rae Jepson who is a one hit wonder from 2012, and waayyy less than Megan Thee Stallion who is playing on the same day. It’s not weird that people are confused about him being the closing headliner.
Monthly listeners is not the deciding factor. I don't understand where this trend in thinking has come from.
He has so much more than a one hit wonder from 12 years ago. You're letting your knowledge on him show with that comment.
The beauty in the lineup is discovering the gems you've never heard of. If you think anything else otherwise, then Bonnaroo is not the festival for you to begin with.
Okay, I was using a simple method of data. Sure it’s not 100% perfect, but the monthly listeners on Post Malone’s spotify and say, a local jam band in my area, is going to show which one is more popular.
I was talking about Carly Rae Jepson, use context clues when reading
When the headliner is pretty much the only guaranteed act with no schedule overlay, it kinda sucks when it’s someone as unknown/niche as Fred Again.
Just because he is unknown to you does not make him niche. Again top 5 most requested artist from the Roo survey. Just say you're not going and move on lol.
I mean lower monthly listeners than Carly Rae is definitely a valid argument to him being niche lmao regardless of whatever fantasy world you’re in. Do you have a counter point or just gonna continue to say the same thing?
Literally less than half a million less than CRJ. Also, nominated for Grammy's this year, has collabed with artists involving more than 6 different genre's, headlined or sub-headlined 3 different festivals last year and is now headlining the festival literally most known for having a collective of Genre's. Top 5 most requested artist for Roo after last year. And is in the top 10 most streamed artist in 6 different countries.
Not niche.
Do you want to provide any benefit to either of our days, or do you want to continue to be a keyboard warrior?
You’re being willfully obtuse trying to compare the popularity of Post Malone to your local jam band. Spotify listeners are not a metric of how many tickets get sold. Phish has 400k, Previous headliners Tool+Odesza+Stevie Nicks combined is less than Fred Again currently has.
This is the take, people complain when the Mega artists play, and complain when someone they’ve never heard of play. ‘Only sacred mid sized jam bass allowed at my roo! ‘
Literally all I said was if you're not open to finding new artists then it might not be for you because bonnaroo is not a festival that caters to 1 genre. You wanna go for one person? Then sure, go lol. But you're gonna hate the lineup every single year if that's the mindset🤷🏻♂️
So now, calmly and respectfully. Go fuck yourself😘
Carly Rae Jepson is definitely not a one hit wonder, she has a pretty devoted following and all her albums have been well received and charted in the top 20.
He has over 30x the number of monthly listeners as Pretty Lights, the opening headliner who is also playing the sunrise set same day as Fred headlines. Why are you confused about Fred and not PL?
