On YouTube music it feels like Madonna and others are rereleasing their complete discography every month to spam the new releases page. And by the way, is it really so fucking hard to separate singles from full albums into two different lists?

The New Releases section of YTM is the fucking worst. I really don't have any issues with the service outside of that. All I want is a filter button that will let me choose genre and album/single. Google knows SO MUCH about me and the music I listen to, I don't understand why my new release page is full of rap and international artists.

Contrary to what most people seem to think, artists often continue making music even after their popularity has dropped somewhat. Shocking, I know.

Not at all shocking.

What was funny to me was that the first 4 New Releases on the list this morning were all names from my younger days. Which I 100% appreciate since the list is usually fully of things I couldn't care less about.

Not a fan of Page-less BNL though.
