Someone somewhere on the internet mentioned weebl, so I figured "eh, why not?"

So this remix of Saint Jhn's "Roses" comes from a person in Kazakhstan named Imanbek. Created quickly in FL Studio, it blew up big, and now has hundreds of millions of views, over a billion streams, and has won a grammy.





Definitely a banger, and it also illustrates the outsize possibilities of going viral on the Internet. All anyone theoretically needs to do is make a great piece of novel content and it might catch fire. Location doesn't matter. Of course, the flip-side of that is that it's harder for any individual average artist to stand out. It reminds me of the discussion we had about super nodes and power laws in the Video Games as Art thread.

Anyway, it's a good track with a cool story.

Just as someone who discussed the super-node theory: my current POV is that the black and white creative have / have not is a bad system. There should be more paths to being a sustainable artist that don't involve making a mega hit. But alas, if making a mega hit is what you have to do I'll do it.

Here is what I'm listening to:
