‘The Bill Simmons’ Podcast to Stream Live on Netflix in January
The way that podcasts have gone full circle and just turned into talk shows. I do like some of the Ringer pods but I’ve never been a fan of Bill. It’s crazy that he’s gotten big checks from HBO, Spotify and now Netflix for his “content.”
Nil that Santa Tell Me song rly slaps every year, like how is it still poppin?
Ugh. Fucking Bostonian hot take sports trash. But this is the future of streaming content. Podcasts are now gonna be live streamed.
Ariana Grande is the top artist on Spotify with 124 monthly streams and Santa Tell Me peaked with 16 million streams yesterday
Truly Mariah's successor, even down to having a Christmas classic 😭
Yessss Santa Tell Me our millennial/Gen Z Christmas anthem
this is her “AIWFCIY hits #1 every year” record that she’s gonna hit every year with this song. I need her to perform this at an event or something it’ll do numbers lol.
She’s gonna break Gaga’s all-time record tomorrow.
Two years into her career she put out this song that is now a modern holiday classic hit. Still crazy to think about.
16* million streams not 26 million.
