There’s too many overly-specific records in the music industry now.
First Asian-Jamaican solo pop artist with 2 million streams on 8 songs. Awesome dude me too. Anything can be a record if you’re specific enough. Anybody can be a record holder. It’s gotten out of hand and takes the meaning out of it and any worthy actual milestones

They have the same issue with the NFL. First play to rush for 30 yards on Monday night football while having a fever of at least 105 and wearing 4 socks on one foot!
Happening in hockey too because no one is touching Gretzky or Lemieux records. Can’t live with the kid just being impressive and insanely talented, gotta make up crazy records no one will ever remember.
It’s worse in baseball imo. Less action to actually talk about lol.
well, you can't be the first mainstream Rock musician record holder anymore, can you
First just loses its meaning since everyone is now the first *insert hyper specific category* That’s what I think OP is stating. First mainstream rock musician is lost in the riff raff.
Check out the Guinness Book of World records, I think you'd like it. It was nice chatting with you all until the mods decide to remove this post for no reason like all new unpopular opinion posts I see
I genuinely don’t know what posts are okay, the rules are so broad and non-specific and they remove any opinion that is literally unpopular (the sole point of the subreddit)
I swear they just don't want anyone to post. I frequent r/askmen and one mod just laid into a guy asking how to make friends. "This isn't an advice sub, and we don't tolerate assholes." I was like, "My guy, where was he an asshole?....and since when is a sub called "AskMen"...
Nba stats have the same problem
This is true of all things that have stats I feel like
Nba stats have the same problem
Only problem I have is with the term "chart topper." Which chart? There's like 8,000 of them. In fact, if I were a record producer, I would do nothing but create charts.
Its an old advertising gimmick. Cars always say something lame like "best in class towing capacity" and the "class" has like 2 other cars that even fit their description.
I claim the first Afro-Beat track sung in Mandarin. If you can find another one, let me know
Who cares? Listen to what you like, and don’t gatekeep people from doing the same.
Why do those records existing have any impact on you or your enjoyment of the music that you like?
They don’t at all. Never said that. I can still have an opinion on something unrelated
Please remember what subreddit you are in, this is unpopular opinion. We want civil and unpopular takes and discussion. Any uncivil and ToS violating comments will be removed and subject to a ban. Have a nice day! Additionally, all posts held by automod for review now (incorre...
The more qualifiers an achievement has the less it means.
Im the first white solo artist to start making a track, get hungry, make a grilled cheese (3 cheese) and fall asleep watching YouTube videos about the dead sea scrolls. Another guy came close but he only used 2 cheeses
The entire Guinness world records are like this now, you’ll see videos of people saying they set a world record and it’s something like “worlds farthest green gummy bear catapult from a rooftop off of a Spanish baroque canvas” like yeah dude nobody else is doing that congrats ...
You contradicted yourself in the first sentence, if someone is the first to break a record, then you say great me too. Then, that other person would technically be second. Records are meant to be recorded, if it doesn't matter to you, cool, but it matters to the people who ...
You not seeing value in those milestones just because they’re in excess doesn’t make them not valuable.
Welcome to unpopular opinion.
