lol. Another tactic straight from the handbook. Make up your mind Sybil. First you like my stuff, then you don't. I'm good, I'm bad. That's why I don't give one little fuck about your opinion. You're incapable (there's that word again) of objective, rational thought. You reply purely on emotion. If we were internet buddies, you'd love my shit. Since we aren't, you attack. I hurt your feelings, so you lash out. Totally predictable and typical behavior from someone that's in way over his head. But don't sweat it. You're not the first, you won't be the last. You're just somewhere in the middle of a big pile of similar losers.

I never said i liked your stuff, never said I disliked it. I said you show an understand of the craft of making punk music, even though you dont think you do. You can leanr music like that by osmosis more than you can say a concierto.

But you cant make arguments about well crafted songs and not well crafted songs, because of your album here. You try to talk about songwriting like it's confined to the style of music you play. The Ramones will never be known for being great songwriters, but I do like them quite a bit.

I like Greg's stuff, and own both albums. I was playing them once and my wife walked in the room and said "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT" ? :D

I'm still interested in how one (pro gay song or not) gets to where they got without the "machine" behind them.

So you cut a CD, have 1000s replicated and between that point and the point you get nominated a bunch of people have to have bought it and those sales get registered officially somewhere. That's the story I'm interested in.

ever heard of wikipedia? lol but seriously...

I can't really stand Macklemore, but I do give the guy props for working his butt off to get where he is. He basically has the typical hard working rags-to-riches story that musicians dream about. Going from playing for 50 people, to 200, to multiple festivals of thousands of people. To getting airplay for not one but like 4 big pop rap hits. Can't stand his music personally, but I respect the grind.

Wikipedia? Well, they give you birth dates, and their first big hit, but don't really tell you anything about the mechanics of it, which I wouldn't expect them to.
I know Justin Bieber got discovered on youtube. I get it. I never will, but that's fine. I'm interested specifically in the mechanics of selling your CDs in a manner that in that they get tracked by Billboard. I can sell them out of the back of truck (if I had a fan base, and a truck) all day long but that won't show up on billboard's radar.

Very cool, thanks.

from the article

How does an artist get their music on the Billboard charts?

Billboard publishes a host of charts that are individually or collectively based on key fan interactions with music, including album sales and downloads, track downloads, radio airplay and touring as well as streaming and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, Vevo, Youtube, Spotify and other popular online destinations for music. These measurements are tracked year-round by Billboard and its data partners, including Nielsen BDS, Nielsen SoundScan and Next Big Sound. In order for artists and title to chart in Billboard, they must be among the higher ranked performers among the specific metric used to compile the chart. Specific methodologies can be found on each chart page on billboard.com and on the Chart Legend reference page on billboard.biz.
