HYPE

Kaaaay

"citing the coming obsolescence of the format"

reads more like

"citing her inflating irrelevance as an artist"

Wooooow, didn't know/expect her calling it quits.

She's not quitting music.

She has decided to not longer release long players and instead do EPs and singles.

LPS are a dying format?

for pop music, of course

oh

ok

They've been saying that shit for 30 years.

moms don't like LPs
they want greatest hits

i dont think albums are dying in pop anyway, with the recent influx of artists releasing 15+ track albums looking for more streams

"inflating irrelevance"

Is this the fuckboi way of saying "waning relevance"?

hmmmm

hope she picks it up

can't wait for her next full-length in 3 years

But even someone like Taylor is going to make mere thousands on streams right? Compared to millions on tour. I mean Spotify's compensation scheme is such a piece of shit that it went to Congress

At $0.00473 per play, artists will need around 336,842 total plays to earn $1,472.

Who the hell asked for this?

I love that she's like "albums aren't relevant anymore people only listen to single songs in playlists".

She doesn't understand that her generation of musicians putting out $25 CDs with 1 or 2 good tracks on them is a big part what drove people to embrace the mp3 format, and when people release a fully-baked album with good content end to end, we LOVE the album format.

It's like that Simpson's joke with principle skinner, she's like "Has the quality of my music degraded? No, it's the format that's out of touch."

She made her bucks already
