"Last Nite" did go platinum in the US and the UK, and does pretty well on Spotify, Last.fm, and Youtube. A song in that part of the list that I think is too high is "Truckin'". It wasn't a top 40 hit, and relative to other songs in the top 400 of this list, its acclaim isn't ver...

What the fuck are you talking about?

I just quoted something from the NY Times article that I thought was a funny remark by Jerry Lee many years ago.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/28/arts/music/jerry-lee-lewis-dead.html Overnight, Mr. Lewis entered into direct competition with Presley. As Mr. Lewis saw it, there was no contest. “There’s a difference between a phenomenon and a stylist,” he told the record-collector magazine Goldmine in 1981. “I’...

other factors like genre have far greater impact on the number of ratings there than skin color. Yes, but other than jazz, most genres that have loads of ratings are white dominated, like Prog and metal and punk. Some Hip Hop has loads of ratings, but regular modern R&B that is not Hip Hop lags...

Here's where the Madonna songs are on the list: 88. Like a Virgin – Madonna 189. Into the Groove – Madonna 354. Vogue – Madonna 463. Like a Prayer – Madonna I think that they're in this order to make this list consistent with the decade lists. On acclaimedmusic, "Vogue" is highly acclaime...

RateYourMusic, but I don't like what you're average music listener likes. Though I guess since it's to represent "hip people" that's not a problem. I think our lists are more for hip people than for the general public. People who don't care all that much about music in the first place are...

My wording was not very good there. It obviously has a hugely white userbase, but even if it was a representative demographic race wise it would still have all sorts of problems. So if you had a choice to listen to RYM's top 100 songs of a given year, or Billboard's top 100 songs of a given year, w...

I'd have Like A Prayer higher, #1 hit, one of Madonna's most popular songs to this day, top 150 on AcclaimedMusic (while also being her highest ranked song), almost top 50 on the new Rolling Stone list and it has quite possibly the most controversial music videos of Madonna's career. Okay, that's B...

I'm not gonna say this has nothing to do how white the userbase is but there is definitely more to it. "÷" by Ed Sheeran is a newer and more popular album than "Blue Train" by John Coltrane. The Sheeran has less than 4,000 ratings, the Coltrane well over 10,000. Especially metal...

The music scene of the 21st century is amazingly fragmented. People who love Tim McGraw never heard of most hip hop acts, and vice versa. In Miller and Goodman's day way more than half of the country were fans. Nowadays there's no act that half of the country has even heard of. Sitting presidents a...

Btw, where can I find the radio station surveys that are out there. Here are some spots. http://www.las-solanas.com/arsa/surveys.php https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box-Magazine.htm Cash Box in the 50s and 60s at least would show a top 10 from a bunch of different stations ever...

I'm curious about what part of the criteria takes into account what "hip" people like. Impact. Included in hip people are other musicians and industry people. Are these artists gonna have staying power, or are they just hitmakers in their time to be mostly forgotten as the decades go by. ...

RateYourMusic is just not representative of your average person and it has nothing to do with how white the userbase is. It's got a lot to do with how white the userbase is. There's over 50,000 ratings on "In The Court Of The Crimson King" but just 15,000 ratings on "Songs In The Key...

RateYourMusic is not really representative of what your average music fan likes. Here are the Top 20 songs of 2021 according to Billboard and here are the RYM ratings. Levitating 3.63 Save Your Tears 3.58 Blinding Lights 3.89 Mood 2.70 Good 4 U 3.28 Kiss Me More 3.66 Leave the Door Open 3.89 Driver...
