Ihr wisst schon, dass es um euer Alter und nicht um eure Penislänge geht?

Bei Spotify zählen aber auch nur die bezahlten Premium-Streams.

Ich will/kann/möchte auf meinem SM-G930F die Signatur bei Tapatalk nicht ausschalten.

Das stimmt, aber ich glaube an die 9,99 € pro Monat gewöhnt man sich schnell. Wer als Teenie für einen Mobilfunkvertrag seine 30, 40 € pro Monat ausgibt, der neigt auch zu Spotify Premium. Zumal die Kombiverträge mit T-Mobile etc. ja auch eine der Siegesstrategien von Spotify waren/sind. Ich glaube, viele haben 30 Tage kostenlos o. ä. getestet und sind dann (vielleicht auch aus Versehen) bei Premium hängen geblieben. Zumal man ja auch 1 x die Zahlungsdetails angeben muss und schwupps schon wird monatlich abgebucht. Außerdem gibt es durch Familien- und Studententarife ja auch viele Möglichkeiten, weniger als die 10 Tacken im Monat für Premium auszugeben. Trotzdem zählt jeder Premium Stream gleich.

Lol @ Penislänge. Warum ist die eigentlich so wichtig? Haha

Anyway, ja lasst mal einen (anonymen) (Musikforum) Zensus machen!

[Darmok]

23-25... nee, alles klar. Eher 13-15 und 35-38.

Katja Krasavice auf Platz 1 bei iTunes mit "Doggy".

Hat Ingrid schon einen Thread für Katja erstellt?

[Rachel Green]

Wer oder was ist das? Muss ich mir heute Abend mal anhören.

[Darmok]

"Friends" war doch schon Top5. Jetzt mit Dauerpromo bis Weihnachten wird das sogar noch nach ganz oben schießen.

Was ist dieses "Doggy" -Ding und wie lange muss man diesen Bausa noch ertragen?

Keine Ahnung, wo der Artikel passt, poste ihn einfach hier mal...warum die Females momentan in den Charts so ''wenig'' Erfolg haben.

Why it’s harder than ever for women to break the pop charts

From September 3, 2016, to September 16, 2017, no solo women scored a No. 1 single in the U.S. Almost coinciding with the beginnings of the Trump era, this was the longest stretch of No. 1 singles without a solo lead woman artist in decades. In September this year, Taylor Swift and Cardi B swooped in to break the streak — but overall this year, the charts have been a very male place.


Before:

- since rock started slipping in the 80s, female legends have reigned
- 90s and above: women scored 40% of the No 1 hits each decade

Now:

- women just 14% of U.S. Top 10 hits in the first eight months of 2017, marking an alltime low.
- In the U.K. Dua Lipa was the first solo woman to get #1 since Adele in 2015.

Reasons for lack of female solos:

- Some of pop’s biggest female acts (Bey, Adele, Rihanna) have been taking a break this year and Swift is just coming back.
- but Katy Perry, Miley, Demi, Lorde, Halsey and Kesha had no #1s (the highest was Demi at #6)
- "why aren't more women artists commanding stronger loyalty from fans?”
- lack of new women artists breaking through with chart-topping power
- not a lot of fresh faces getting huge: "aside from the runaway success stories of Cardi B and Dua Lipa, newer artists like Zara Larsson, SZA, and Kehlani are making little impact on the upper tier of the charts, despite massive online followings and streaming numbers."
- streaming means you have to appeal to a global audience right away which is hard
- solo female market is more saturated and there's more pressure

Difficulties with Women of Color:

- even harder to break through
- black women are automatically seen as r&b no matter what and therefore are automatically seen as outdated and irrelevant
- labels don't try to support black women or market them to global audiences
- Cardi B is a success but Kamaiyah shows that women in rap have a much higher bar to prove their commercial worth
- when black women try to be multifaceted with their sound they get held back by labels who don't know how to market them or pop radio that turns their back on them

“Why does Kehlani continue to be ignored for supposedly not releasing strong singles — the same claim that has been made against Tinashe — while Demi Lovato gets kudos for ‘Sorry Not Sorry’?” asked Reeves. (Lovato’s single, and album Tell Me You Love Me, embrace R&B and soul.) “It appears to be a double standard. As a white performer, Lovato gets credit for branching beyond her typical monochromatic pop sound. But we expect Kehlani to make quality R&B because she's black. So even while she introduces several innovations within that genre, pop radio (and its audience) disregards her as just another black R&B singer.”

Rise of Streaming:

- the inclusion of streaming data in the charts means that the songs on the playlists we create — and those created for us by algorithms — are being reflected in the charts.
- so hip hop and EDM are up front and center: 2017 marked the first time that hip hop was the most dominant genre since 1991: these are male dominant genres
- mainstream music: whispery, tropical house trend
- the era of “poptimism” is over: pop, as a genre, is no longer our most popular or critically acclaimed sound.
- streaming is dominated by under 25s but drops off among teens who are pop's largest consumers
- top 20 tracks on Spotify: just 4 or by women (who are all pop)

Different Metrics of Success:
- not just charts but Spotify listeners, Youtube subscribers, Instagram followers
- getting a #1 on Hot 100 now feels quaint
- “Record labels and artists still rely upon [the charts] to gauge overall music interest — but streaming playlists charts are fast becoming the core currency.”
- it's also now more about the whole album experience rather than getting hits (like Beyonce)

Conclusion:
- charts go through cycles so this may pass
- most likely a short term situation
- Alessia Cara and Camila Cabello are showing signs that they could be coming for the top spot in the near future
- women in pop who once ruled the Top 10 are either out of cycle or no longer interested in playing that game, and nobody else is yet filling their shoes.
- but if the industry puts its support behind those burgeoning women stars we might see more successes like “Bodak Yellow” and “New Rules”

Ich würde das Durchschnittsalter hier im Sub so auf 23-25 schätzen.

24-34 würd ich mittlerweile eher sagen.

Danke! Sehr interessant! @wobbleshaker
