Hey I'm Brian Hight in this long stone music now. I'm in the studio with Rob Sheffield.

Hi Brian.

Rob is saying hi. Hi Rob, Brittany Spanos.

Hello.

We're doing a thing where we say hi today.

And Charles Holmes.

What out, what, I, what, what, out.

So we're going to talk about Billy Eilish and Lil Nause X just kind of taking a look at two

artists who were dominating the discourse right now. Billy Elish had like

33.6 million streams on Spotify last week as someone pointed out that's more than

Beyoncée and Ariana Grande combined she is our new overlord we salute

her overlord with an e. Yeah. Yes, exactly.

Sorry original Old Lord.

You are out of date.

You are old now.

We are all very old now.

I've seen people struggle with Billy

Ilish, people who are like over the age of 25 and then struggle for a few days.

I've seen this with music critics on Twitter. And I'm talking about like 27 year old

music critics. At first being like maybe I'm too

old I don't get Billy Elish and then they come back three days later and they're like I'm a Billy

Eilish Stan. Was there any sort of hump to overcome in anyone's comprehension
