Some Person With Their Opinions

2024 will go down in history as one of the best year of all time...for pop music. Okay that's probably an exaggeration, but it is true that this year has been extraordinarily great for popular music. A lot of things that was bad about 2023; the abundance of lazy samplings, ragebait songs that supposed to make you mad, the absence of hip-hop, and the aura of unpleasantness that peppered the year 2023 all of them are somewhat gone. The fact that this year started out with a rap beef and it ended with a continuation of the biggest rap beef since the 90s. The comeback of pop music in a big way that's very snatched and girlynation while also having a great queer undercurrent, hip-hop having a great year and all that, and even country have its own redemption with some marginalized community hitting their strides. But, it's not all pretty and early 2024 before HISS came out things were continuing from 2023 by being rough and just nothing going on. Latin music especially having a v...

  2024 has been a blast in terms of the chart and pop music as a whole. We have so many events that impacted the chart in a significant matter. Album bombs after album bombs, Kendrick Lamar & Drake beef where Kendrick came out on top as usual, the rise of queer pop from Chappell Roan and even the TikTok hits, Sabrina Carpenter in general having a breakout year, and overall great music just keep flowing in.

I mean I'm hopeful that it won't be that bonkers because this is the season that you should be for relaxing and- wait Linkin Park just recruited a new lead vocal that might have connection...

    You know something that I realized during the chaos that was May and early June for the chart? Sometimes, you really are sick of songs that lingered on the chart for more than a year. Last year was almost the final straw with how a lot of the songs are just from 2022 and even older just squatting the chart that you have to go through one eights of the chart just to fill up the songs for the ranking. Now, after all of the chaos cleanse the chart for good, the chart has never feel more fresh than ever before. And also the fact that the points for the chart has gotten even stronger with people actually listening to new music (just look at the Spotify chart) only filled me with joy that I've been a part of this historic moment. 2024 did scared me one bit when Vultures had an album bomb and you see all the discourse if this song is worse than that Jason Aldean song or whatever. But, after Megan Thee Stallion released HISS, there's no coming back from that. I hope that all of th...
