Moving on to music, from 2019-2020 there have been many top hit artists: Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, and the list goes on. People across the world listen to these hit artists making their music more popular day and day and some of which have even hit number one on the billboard. Nowadays small artists are really starting to take off with their careers putting new songs out there that have been blowing up. Actress Olivia Rodrigo, recently put out a new song named “Drivers License” that reached number one on iTunes. People listen to this song nation wide and are in love with it. When Mrs. Varhley was asked what her favorite song was, she stated, “I honestly kind of  like that driver’s license song.”

There have been many other hit new songs. Pop star Harry Styles came out with an album “Fine Line” that went crazy viral getting streamed all over the world. “Fine Line” sold 393,000 copies as a full album, aided by the now-common bundles that pair a copy of the album with concert tickets and merchandise. It also had 109 million streams, the largest total of the week and the third-best debut this year(Coscarelli). This album includes songs such as Fine Line, Falling, Golden, Watermelon Sugar, Adore You and more. Watermelon Sugar is one of the most streamed songs on that album. It was even nominated for a “Best Solo Performance” Grammy. Pop culture has been around for years and is something that definitely keeps us going with all these new artists and their new songs. 

With all the pop there comes a lot of rock. Before the current day pop culture we have now there was rock, classical rock and more. It’s listed in the daily world and will never be outshined by new artists. Bands and artists such as Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Bruce Springsteen, U2 and more are some of the world’s most prized people. Mr. Christopher Wiley stated, “I listen to a lot of classic rock. I listened to Aerosmith, Led zeppelin, and Red rider. I listen to a lot of 80’s music as well.”

Pop culture may be big but the time era for classic rock is bigger. A lot of these singers/songwriters are known by your parents, teacher or maybe grandparent, but it definitely should be known more to kids these days to get a little taste of the greatest hits from a little while ago.
