      In December 2020, Dance Monkey became the third most-streamed song on Spotify with over 2 billion streams, making Tones the first female artist to do so.
      It's an incredible success for some nobody Australian girl. Can't you just be happy for the person? You're showing disdain for a song that an artist you clearly like has considered valuable. Why else would they cover it?

      @@VulcanGray theres no such thing as an objectively good song and if there was it wouldnt have come from our simple minds. You can have songs that is perfectly in tune and hit notes at all the right times and there will be people that dislike it. And then you can have a song that is out of tune and out of time and there will be people that like it. It's all just a matter of opinion which is why I'd be taking the other side of this debate because people are allowed to have opinions. Just because the song was recieved well and broke records doesn't mean that everyone has to love it and only make nice comments about it. People enjoy hating things just as much as they enjoy enjoying things. It's yin and yang or some shit, can't have light without dark... yk?
