Mark Jeffries, Aug 22nd: Hitherto little-known country singer Oliver Anthony (not his real name) has the number one song on the Billboard Hot 100 this week with "Rich Men North of Richmond," a song that starts out as an attack on the rich but turns into dog-whistling about "welfare queens" spending their food stamp money on Little Debbie products--it owes its position to support from rightwing podcasters and social media and by gaming the iTunes Store downloads (still a major factor in the Hot 100, despite the fact that more people are streaming now) to look like it's a big hit (Mediabase's radio airplay chart shows neither Anthony or the equally-iTunes Store-game Jason Aldean dog-whistler "Try That in a Small Town" in their top 30, which means that unless either song is between 31 and 40, Seacrest's not playing them on "AT40" this weekend): -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
