^Because he's a douchebag who beat Rihanna up, and continues to make the most disgusting, and awful songs, talking about stealing your girl, and other generic lame bragging that any sane person wouldn't want to associate with.

How on earth did Total Eclipse Of The Heart not re-enter despite having great sales? Was that really not enough for it to make the top 50? I need an explanation, Billboard. I know, right? But sales are now the weakest links. "Eclipse" is not in top 50 on streaming chart. |

Didn't stop Kells from getting the ladies to keep supporting his records. As I recall, RiRi did a remix with him and released it on her birthday, so there's that. |

Total Eclipse of the Heart is #10 on the Recurrent chart. And #13 on the digital songs chart. I guess digital sales don't account for much these days. |

However, if I stopped listening to every artist who had committed crimes, disagreed with politically, etc. there's be very few I'd like. I prefer to let the music speak for itself. |

What will happen if or when he beats another woman? Oh, but Rihanna "forgave" him therefore everyone else should too. |

There are plenty of music I like from artists who are terrible people (guys like John Lennon and R. Kelly come to mind). I'm just trying to make a point that Chris Brown is still an asshole. |

I have always thought, if the music is good, it does not matter what the political or social or personal views are of the artist.
It is about the music

I prefer to let the music speak for itself. For my money (and if you download/stream music, you are giving artists your money), there is a difference in certain crimes and also a difference in certain politics. As in, someone arrested for marijuana possession is different than someone who beats women. There is also a difference for me in someone who is, say, pro-life and someone who supports outright racist policies. |

The longevity of "Shape is You" is further evidence why eras-weighting is a must for all-time lists. The biggest hits of earlier eras (not just No. 1s) were lucky to get, at most, a few months in the top 10 (most less than that).

Still waiting for Slow Hands and Strip That Down to go top 10 while Shape Of You and That's What I Like just won't leave. I think YouTube is the main culprit for those two still being there.

It really didn't have that great of sales. Like "Sign of the Times" earlier this year, we were seeing an inflated first few days. When the eclipse ended, its sales tanked. It had, what, 30-35k in sales total? Okay. Now on streaming is was #61 on Spotify the day of the eclipse. After that? Disappeared. So that's like 400-500k streams in total for the week. Airplay? Basically non-existent. I'm sure it had a small spike on the day of the eclipse, but not anywhere near enough for it to show up on anything, and for the rest of the week, it would've had it's typical gold airplay like any other week. On a chart with no recurrent rules, that would probably be enough to be somewhere in the 70s or 80s. |

People, stop. The fact that CB is s**t doesn't mean that his music is (in this case it does, as it's abysmally, infuriatingly terrible). One's personality shouldn't affect your judgement of their products and professional work. Like, look. People shouldn't hate KB's music because he is a rapist, but because his music is total garbage.

Personally I love Forever and like a few other of his songs. On one hand, the music is separate from the artist. But a lot of time, who is singing the songs adds context to them.
I guess it comes down to, how does one feel about 'rewarding' bad people even though they're talented? I mean, enough of history is dedicated to suppressing talented people because of who they are (gay, black, some other minority), so what's one violent asshole's failed career?

It was proven that Kim K and Kanye were lying about the tape wdym? Kim released a snap of Kanye verifying the lyric (minus the "bitch" line) with Taylor. is there news I missed? This is the key. Taylor's team agreed that she approved of the "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex" line, but not the "I made that bitch famous" line. |

But is calling taylor a bitch really more humiliating than the sex line? Really feels like a cop-out imo. And she didn't say he had presented the sex line, she acted as if he hadn't asked her at all. |

It's not the word "bitch" that bothers her. It's the entirety of the line that says Kanye is the reason she's famous that she's pissed about. And I get why. He isn't the reason she's famous. She was already accepting a damn VMA for a smash hit that peaked at #2 behind one of the biggest songs of the decade. Her album was already the top selling album of the year at that point. It's all messy because Taylor lied about not approving the line, but Kim also lied about Kanye showing her the entirety of the reference to her. They both lied. |

It's obvious you two separate the art from the artist, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to do the same thing. I don't want my money to sustain the lifestyle of people who rape and abuse women. In the case of some of these artists (like R Kelly), their art is about their illegal habits and thus it ties the two things together even more. I think about the message that sends to young girls; as in, how can I as an educator tell encourage young girls to take control of their bodies and their lives in general (and vilify males who take advantage of them) if I am also giving my money to men who do the things I am preaching against. And ultimately, to me this is no different than me not giving business to a place/company I know supports homophobic, racist, etc agendas. I know not everyone feels that way either, but it's a choice I've made. So, yes, to each his own. |

I don't see it as "rewarding bad people", if you like a song by a person that you or someone else feels is of questionable character, and you choose to stream it or buy it, you are rewarding yourself with the opportunity to listen to a good song. That's another way to look at it. FTR, I don't necessarily think either is 'right' or 'wrong' per se. It is a bit hypocritical for people to harp on Chris Brown due to his actions yet praise John Lennon or James Brown for their talents, both of whom supposedly have had a history of violence toward women too. It pretty much comes down to personal preference and whether one can or chooses to separate the music from the person behind the music. It was, after all, personal preference that made so many country music fans strike out against the Dixie Chicks despite loving their music for years after Natalie Maines spoke out against President Bush. In that case, they chose not to reward the artist by buying/supporting their music because she spoke her mind. In this case, people are choosing not to support Chris Brown for being abusive toward women. It does bring up the question though (that isn't appropriate for this thread), is there a point for most people when they'd stop listening to the music of an artist due to their personal lives? Additionally, is there a point when someone's personal/private life can or should have an affect on their professional lives? I think a lot of this comes into play - but it's a deep extrapolation from the Hot 100. |
