After a recent poll of Hartselle High School students, The Tiger Times discovered that tastes in music may make a change in favorite genre. Ninth and tenth graders seem to be more interested in pop where eleventh and twelfth graders seem to enjoy country and rock.
Many people like the music genre pop. One reason may be because of the artist Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift has sold over “114 million album units worldwide.” Some of Taylor Swift's songs like “ I Don’t Want To Live Forever" and "Blank Space ” have had over 1.2 billion people listen to them.
Although many people like pop music, there are still some that like country music. Country music has been around since 1910. With many artists from old to new like George Jones, Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Luke Combs, Toby Keith and so many more, country music is still continuing to grow till this day. Most people listen to country music if they're having a big bonfire or getting together with their family members or even at weddings.
From a recent poll taken at HHS, most students chose lyrics over instrumental. Some of the few students that chose instrumental music are Abigail Winsett, Preston Lovett, Virginia Wade and Michael Hale. Some of the students that chose lyrics are Lanie Shas- “I just want myself,” Ella Putman- “Find someone who grows flowers in the darkest parts of you,” Sydney Lewis- “Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly”, and Emilee Stephenson- “ If you got a dream, chase it.”
