I agree with the general sentiment. But cartoons and superheroes…fun? For adults? Cmon man.

And just because I happen to like the unmatched convenience of my walk-in tub that doesn’t necessarily make me old

I think it's just 100 streams count as 1 download/sale.


Since 2016 it is 150 streams.

But this doesn't add up. That would mean on there is the equivalent of 21 Million "sales" for this song on Spotify alone.

Currently, the runner-up on the ranking of the most-consumed and most-certified songs in U.S. history is Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road.” That single has been certified 17-times platinum, and it will surely improve that figure in the coming years. Three hits are tied at 16-times platinum status–Drake’s “God’s Plan,” Ed Sheeran’s “Thinking Out Loud,” and Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive.”


Interesting because the sales figures on White Christmas sit at 25 Million PHYSICAL copies sold in North America

Post Malone’s dad, Rich Post, used to post in a small bulletin board group I was in for Jeff Burton NASCAR fans. He worked for the Cowboys back then, in the food/beverage department. Dude knew some shite about wine.

One day, someone posted that Rich’s kid was doing music and was going to be on a late night TV show. I watched and figured that would be the extent of his success. I was wrong on that one.

But I’ve never (knowingly) heard this song.

How? Have you heard the lyrics? Would you rather this or the shite about murdering and slinging crack?

The stuff about murder and drug dealing. I find aggressive music more entertaining than passive music.

Ok Karen, let me go get the manager for you. I assure you all the parental advisory stickers are 100% visible from the aisle.

Further proof that the end of times is near.
I’m totally lukewarm toward Post but “Can’t Stop Believing” is one of the corniest songs ever put to magnetic tape. fricking Madonna’s 1st album rocks harder than that flaccid horseshite.

There were 4.5 billion humans on Earth and no smart phones in 1981 when Don’t Stop Believing came out. There are more than 8.1 billion people today.
