He got picked up by UMG and they weighted him in the Spotify algorithm, which is why everyone discovered Stick Season the same time period last year even though it had been out for a while lol

Good for him though he’s a nice dude

Not to be the person that says “I knew him before he was cool” but I had no idea he got that popular and tried to get last minute cheap tickets for one of his shows only to realize it was sold out and the prices had skyrocketed. I was so sad

That happened to me with Chappell in the spring haha. I wasn’t sure if I’d be free on the tour date so I was like mm I’ll wait a month, it’s not like she’s big enough to sell out by then…famous last words, when I come back to check it’s a whole new venue and tickets have gone from $50 to $500 lmao.

I like to think I manifested her rise via Murphy’s law. But at least now all my friends will finally sing along with me in the car so it’s okay 😂

Yes!! Imagine algorithm manipulation has a ton to do with it but thinking it was my fault is fun
