Hi.
ReplyDeleteI'm Bill Stella, I used to vote at GayMusic Chart. I've finally started checking out your blog, starting a month ago. Now I'm going back to the start. And I have a question. (Questions, actually, but let me start with just one.)
I sincerely love The 1975.
But I'm baffled why they're included here. Has someone in the band come out when I wasn't looking? I get that Healy and the band are allies, but, I dunno, so many musicians are. A quick Google search finds a few prominent statements and contributions, but I've heard and seen similar from everyone from Gloria Estefan to The Bouncing Souls. I can respect their careers or enjoy their music but not see them as belonging on a Gay music chart, yes?
Fill me in, if there's some other reason for including that video. (The video itself isn't about Q folk either.)
Hi Bill! I agree with you. I included them here back in October 2018, because at the time they were featured on other gay charts. Since then I have gotten more strict about not including "allies" in the chart unless there is some LGBT content in the lyrics or in the video. You could also say the same about Cher or Robyn, who were on the chart this same week. In the past few months, I've come to realize that including too many allies is just taking spots away from LGBT artists, so I now try to limit it. And of course, sometimes I just make mistakes so I appreciate it when people point out errors.
DeleteThank you for your genuine and honest reply, sir. :D
DeleteI don't include her myself, but I understand the lists that include Cher for (reasons go here, lol).
Robyn I actually have included in my OutGayMusic YouTube playlists, based on a vague memory that she bisexually outed herself a decade ago, but I might be confused and wrong about that.
So I do understand that it's a judgment call. I did mean what I asked, and wondered if I'd missed something that hadn't shown up in a quick Google search. (Not pointing out errors)
Not to make more work for you, but in addition to my Best Gay Music playlists, for fun I sometimes pop videos into More Great Music playlists. I literally was the last person out of over 2 Billion views to see today for the first time that Maroon 5 video in your chart, and I popped that (and The 1975) into More Great Music 2018 - 3. (It's simpler than charting. And my opinion alone.)
Thanks again,
Bill
