This is the sign that we are in an echo chamber and group polarisation is taking hold.
Bring Me The Horizon are just breaking through to HL status:
- 14 million Spotify listeners
- 7 studio albums with 600,000 UK sales (3x Silver, 2x Gold, 1x Platinum)
- 26x TOP 100 singles (8x TOP 40)
- 15x Silver, 1x Gold, 2x Platinum
Fontaines DC:
- 3 million Spotify listeners
- 4 studio albums with 280,000 UK sales (4x Silver)
- 4x TOP 100 singles, 0x TOP 40.
- No certifications at all, for any song.
Fontaines DC are not headlining Reading and Leeds unless they release some magical groundbreaking album which does absolutely bits.
Great undercard, little dissapointed with the headliner, especially compared with Have Heart / Basement last year. Still around 20-25 bands to be announced if similar to last year. Now just to contemplate London or Manc based on the announcement tomorrow!
