Inspired by my 17-year old daughter not knowing who U2 were, and on being prompted, saying “oh yeah, that’s the guy from Inhaler’s dad”. I fear R.E.M. are going the same way. Who else?
Smashing Pumpkins
Muse headlined Reading and Leeds, probably wouldn’t find many Gen Z’s into them now
Equally wouldn’t surprise me if they have a weirdly large young audience. In general, early 2000s chart rock music seems to be holding up pretty well for streaming numbers at the moment
Hadn’t occurred to me until reading something earlier that it’s not unfeasible that Mariah Carey’s non-Christmas songs may soon disappear from the consciousness.
She has non-Christmas songs?
feel like The Priests don’t really get the kids talking like they did back 2008 when they had the fastest selling debut classical album
a great bunch of lads
30m monthly listeners on Spotify and we’re not in Christmas season yet! She’s still pretty massive, though I think it’s more in the US
Val Doonican
Similarly, there hasn’t been a susanalbumparty in a while. 25 million albums sold and 300k listeners on Spotify ![]()
Maybe Vampire Weekend? Idk
The Red Hot Chili Pipers
Nine Inch Nails I reckon, everyone’s always going on about how influential they were in the 90’s but I’ve never listened to them
Panic! At The Disco
Black Eye Peas
Scoring the next Tron film for Disney, and as NIN rather than Trent and Atticus. Got a fair bit of attention from younger people off the back of producing Halsey’s album a year or two back. They still have a pretty broad reach.
Going to see them in December.
In Wolverhampton.
Remember when the Levellers were absolutely massive? Weird times.
