Good job consequence, you know you help the gatekeepers when you don’t tag the other almost twenty artists you mention in the article and only the two that you are saying were let through….

Country Music’s Record-Breaking Run Proves the Gatekeepers Are Stronger Than Ever

Country is dominating the Billboard charts like never before thanks to some of the most narrow-minded gatekeepers in all of music.

It’s impressive that it took 3 people and a few hundred words to get to “water is wet.”

I don’t know I found it interesting enough. It was also a needed reminder to me that Wallen is very indicative of how little it has all changed over the years.

(Also this is pure simple why I don’t understand the gatekeeping nonsense thrown at Wynton Marsalis… he’s a conservative Jazz musician with a platform and a loud voice that most ignore. Nashville actively harms and props up the artists it choices to, this is gatekeeping.)

I guess I worked around radio enough to not be surprised by any of the content.

I wasn’t really surprised by it, as much as I… I don’t know it’s hard to explain. I’m certainly aware of it, but it seemed like women/non cisgender male white performers have at least been given higher profiles. I don’t listen to country radio (in the traditional sense, I do listen to quite a bit of Willie’s Roadhouse on Sirius) at all so I have no clue what mainstream country really looks like. The fact that it still basically ignores Carlile and Morris and Price was a bit of a shock to me. Also interesting that radio still reigns king in rural communities. I would have figured especially with its homogenization around here that it was on its death bed out in the fly overs.

Every time I see terrestrial radio numbers I’m surprised at how high they are across a LOT of demographics. I assume it’s surprising to me because I haven’t listened to FM radio in like 30 years. But it’s definitely out there and doing pretty well. I assume I Heart/Cumulus/et al have the dollar farming down to a science by now.
 
It’s funny cause if you play any of that stuff (Isbell, Price, etc) to the non-country listening public and they’re like “ugh… Country.” And the country folks don’t want them because politics/payola.
