Yeah the whole ban discourse was like…huh? Are we reading the same thing? I’m also unsure how much radio play really matters in 2023 vs. Spotify playlists or other forms of promotion (ahem - magazine covers/features or talk show performances). How much does radio play actually increase a fanbase? (Seemingly what fans want for Louis). If we look at indie artists who have blown up recently, has that occurred based primarily on radio play? In any case, Louis is not out there starving to death y’all.

Alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of this, sprinkled with a dose of why do people get off so hard to making him some kind of victim in a game he a) already won in his 20s and b) doesn't seem all that interested in revisiting in his 30s? Like, I'm sorry (truly, deeply sorry) that struggling indie solo artist Harry Styles is now on my dentist's playlist, and everyone working there has to hear it 5x a day, like, why would you want your fave to be that kind of flave? I trust that Louis's doin' just fine! Better than most, even!
