ok the amount of lists since posting this that have put Abacadabra on these lists (including, bafflingly, Rolling Stone's #1) has driven me absolutely bananas. can we really not do better than this??? 😭

the thorny reality of the "real country" debate is how much importance you give to the nashville structure and southern culture. so some are either too quick to dismiss the history of nashville and southern art or are too attached to nashville to accept any outsiders. it's kinda messy lol

this would definitely explain why despite being the most active method for listening to music there's actually very low activity if you check the streaming charts. at some point everyone became fatigued and now only boot up streaming for holidays and maybe a new Taylor Swift album
