I’ve been away for a few years, and have been wondering what’s changed? Does Neil no longer owner the site? And what happened that the ITK folks weren’t allowed to post here and then moved to discord?
Yeah I’m more used to artists coming out with a great album touring for years with other big names, gaining popularity steadily, llaying like second stage headliner spots, coming out with second and third album, winning awards, being all over the news and THEN they reach proper headliner slots. Or has it always been this way?
Don't know what is so defensive about my reply. I just explained you were comparing two completely different things.
Honestly, I couldn't care less about her but acknowledge she's huge. She has more monthly listeners than Charli who I'd say is more hot/popular right now. And all that with just one album which was released more than a year ago.
Festivals are changing, big names we all know are getting old or they're not bothered to play at festivals at all. We will see more and more newbies who got popular quickly in these slots. That's why Sam Fender is headlining Rock Werchter and Chappel Primavera.
Just accept that you're getting old/out of loop or you're just not interested in her music or pop in general. I don't understand a lot of things in this world, yet they happen.
