I'm on the side of "I really love that Big Thief record and it would for sure make my list if I made one but that doesn't mean it has to be included here."
this song is gorgeous, and so perfectly Rostam. he looks so happy in the video, too. i'll obviously miss him as a member of VW, but think it's pretty clear this was the best move for him.

Yeah, it just seems like "let anyone hear it or buy it via any service so number of listeners is literally infinite" still outweighs "15 million + good marketing." I mean even here, any time there's an Apple Music/TIDAL/whatever exclusive, a good percentage of the comments are people lamenting that they don't have (and don't want!) a subscription to that particular service. Those are all people who would be listening if it wasn't an exclusive but aren't.
