      Yeah, my immediate thought was “Why would anyone voluntarily listen to this song?” and it had nothing to do with the quality of the song.

      These things are more ads than real stats. People aren’t spending as much as they used to, so they’re spilling these baits early to create all so good “ready for shopping” feeling.

          Theres a lot. Its probably best to check it yourself as i only have second hand knowledge, but I know shes faced allegations of sexual misconduct multiple times, theres the stuff with eminem, theres the claim she stole “all i want for christmas” but i believe that was either dismissed or settled, its just a bunch of stuff. She doesnt seem like a genuinely shitty perosn, but from the sheer number of controversies shes not someone i would want to personally associate with or look up to.

    This is one of those runaway climate change effects they warned us about. I worry it’s too late to stop it. Next year, it’ll start in August, then June, etc.

    Is it just a load of stores/shops immediately switching to generic xmas playlists after Halloween? To me that’s the only reason I could see there to being a sudden spike. This song is bound to be in most of them. But we’d also need to track other popular xmas tracks.

    (I know there used to be significant music licensing issues about what music could be played in a store, to the public. Don’t know if there is some special Spotify business account now?)

    Always been amazed this song doesn’t get used for Rickrolling during the last two months of each year. It’s a systemic failure.
