It’s more fun when your friends have heard the same song you’ve heard.
I send out an email every Sunday night to songwriters and publishers with a bunch of information from a couple of the big charts (you can check out a sample and sign up here).
When a song gets released and immediately goes to number one on the Global chart and the US chart…it’s probably the closest thing we have to a water cooler song. The closest thing to ‘this is what’s happening in music right now’.
You can bring it up with friends and odds are everyone has heard it...as opposed to the more common, ‘Hey have you heard this song by this artist...no?...oh go check it out sometime'.
We love our niches, our personal gems and the deep cuts that feel like they are just for us.
But it’s pretty fun (and more rare these days) when everyone has heard it.
