While wrapping up their Eras Tour run with Taylor Swift, Paramore received some cool news. According to ChartMasters, the “Hard Times” band ranks as the 20th most-streamed rock act on Spotify. Speaking on the news, Hayley Williams took to Instagram to post a story.
She says, “We are one of only two bands that include women in the Top 20 of all time. Of course I’m beyond honoured, but in my lifetime I hope to see more women, more LGBTQ+, and black/brown talent on this list. Also ‘rock’ is funny… are Paramore a rock band or just not quite 100% pop? What tf are we?”
Additionally, the data noted that Paramore bumped U2 from their spot on the Top 20. She added another Instagram story stating, ““Not the casual U2 diss lmao?!! Their Live At Red Rocks film still gives me such a buzz. Just a tight ass band with huge vocals.”
