The thing is that after about the late 2000s, I realize I've completely unfamiliar with every single artist up there, or maybe I've heard one song of theirs in an ad or something. It's also interesting to see when certain albums hit. It's very obvious when "Thriller" and "Ray of Light" hit and when "Titanic" was released.

this is a very cool way to look at these artists' sales data and gain a stronger sense of their longetivity and such. A huge shift happens as digital media takes hold, but Impressive to see the staying power of Queen even after Freddie Mercury's death. Elvis also has an impressive longevity along with Michael Jackson and The Beatles. I was very taken with how Madonna stayed on that list almost the entire 20 years she is on it--and only dipping off it briefly towards the end of her time on it. Who knows how much longer she might have remained there if radio didn't literally stop playing her new music because of ageism.
@classiclife7204

@johnraymondbarker4
@johnraymondbarker4 8 месяцев назад
@@SneakySolidSnake No. It's ageism because they stopped playing her music because of her age. It wouldn't be ageism if they had played her music. and if it had failed to connect with an audience, they stopped. They cut her off while she was still making some great music. By your logic, it's survival of the fittest, so they should have let her sink or soar the way the did before in her career and as with any artist they are playing. But I don't fully agree with your way of seeing the music scene. The internet has expanded the possibilities and there are 8 Billion people on this planet. There are musicians you and I have never heard of who have hundreds of thousands, even millions of fans and are living well. Because it's a big wide world out there. But even if things were limited, there are plenty of folks who are not as talented as Madonna, nor as innovative who could step aside for greatness. She hasn't laid her crown down just yet.

MJ was sabotaged, he could have easily ruled the 00s as well. Invincible was selling faster than Thriller before Sony stopped promoting it so they could pressure MJ to sell his half of Sony (look into it its pretty dark). His style will forever be relevant with each new generation. This is why he still has over 20 million monthly listeners on Spotify, with no promo or releases, and why he is the highest earning celebrity for 10 years in a row and why Thriller goes to number one every Halloween, almost 40 years after it dropped.

@@LiveKillers89 Now, you're backtracking.... You wrote they were never huge in the US. But, they were. They sold enormous numbers of albums and played the largest concert halls in the US. Had they embarked on a tour of the US in 1986, they would have sold out football stadiums across the US. You wrote they were banned by MTV. Only one video was banned, and that was 'Body Language'. That is only ONE video. You wrote they were banned, and you implied everything they ever did was banned. It was not. Far from it. And 'I Want to Break Free' was not banned. I remember it being played often on MTV at the time it was released. Don't be so misleading. It's obnoxious.

I would tell them they had numerous number one singles and albums in the US and they played the biggest concert venues a rock band could play across the entire country. If that doesn't doesn't qualify a rock band as being 'huge' in a country, then I don't know what does. And again, they would have achieved stadium status in the US after their performance at Live Aid. And I don't need you to tell me who Brian and Roger are. I happen to be a huge fan since the 1970's, and I'm American. I witnessed personally how 'huge' they were and my brother-in-law saw them in concert at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN!!!
