Growing up, a hit song crossed demographics whether the genre was your favorite or not. People who don’t primarily listen to country still know Dolly, Shania, Carrie, The Chicks, etc. because they made actual hit records that crossed over. If a song can spend 23 weeks at #1, breaking records that stood for 20+ years, while a huge portion of the public is sincerely saying they’ve never heard it, maybe the conversation isn’t “people hate country.” Maybe @RollingStone should be writing about how streaming-era chart dominance no longer equals cultural dominance because there’s some trickery at play. That’s the real story being avoided. Don’t gaslight us.

Parents reacted with boos and jeers after a Reform-run council in South Tyneside voted to close 10 nurseries.
The publicly owned South Tyneside Accredited Network for Learning in the Early Years (Stanley) provides affordable, quality childcare and employs over 100 people.
Working parents will now only have the option to use private nursery providers of variable price and quality, Mark Wilson of the GMB union told the BBC in June.
