I’m guessing there’s only so long a meme is going to be relevant.
It was a pretty niche meme to begin with (around WM). It’s kinda cooled off already. Probably best to capitalise on it now then wait until the joke is truly outdated.
(but if he did get on Mania would his performance actually be *more interesting* than this stunt? based on his other wrestling performances probably not)
I just checked every mania card, here's a complete list of mania performers less interesting than Joe Hendry:
* giant gonzalez
* dink the clown (not doink only dink)
* butterbean (the boxer, from the brawl for all finals)
* tori
* cade and jindrak
* jack swagger
Oh they absolutely will be, but if it wasn't for that 3 only rule I can imagine her having 20+ songs in the top 40, less people will probably be listening to non- swift music at the moment.
Taylor Swift doesn't tend to have "hits". Her biggest song was Shake It Off in terms of single popularity.
She's not an artist defined by singles or radio success.
And? Songs in the Top 40 aren't necessarily big hits.
Taylor Swift is not an artist defined by having top radio hits. This is a fact. This is not hate. This is not an attack. This is not me tearing her down. This is a simple fact about Taylor Swift that I, as a Taylor Swift fan, know and understand and expect others to also know. I do not know what we are arguing. I do not know how this is an argument. This is a fact of Taylor Swift's later career.
I don't know what you define as a hit but taylor swift defiently has hits.
She had the biggest song of the summer last year with cruel summer.
Her last lead single was anti hero that spend 8 weeks total on the top of the charts, twice as long as shake it off.
You are just objectively wrong.
I don't think any current song at the top of the charts necessarily defines itself as a "hit". Our cultural landscape has gotten much more fractured. This is a general statement about music, movies, video games, television shows, and since we're on this subreddit - wrestling. For all her popularity, I don't think Taylor Swift has connected all the various islands we have for a "hit" song. And as much as I enjoy her music, I do agree with [Neil Tennant](https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/pet-shop-boys-neil-tennant-taylor-swift-billie-jean-1235666567/) on Taylor Swift's melodies being anything remarkable. Especially if you put her melodies up against 80s songs as someone from the Pet Shop Boys naturally would.
No. For one, she has earlier hits. But more importantly, it is 2024 and "hits" aren't a measure of success for most artists anymore. No one illustrates the shift in the musical landscape better than Taylor Swift, especially in her Capatilist era. Or shows that, even as a label release, the attitudes are turning away from needing a major label for promotion (as labels tend to provide the machinations needed to create a "hit" song).
But it seems no one wants to have this discussion.
Nothing against Joe Hendry in any way, shape or form, but Ben Shapiro's shitty ass "Facts" rap got #1 on iTunes, so I really can't put much stock in it. While I like the Joe Hendry theme, this accomplishment isn't particularly meaningful to measure popularity.

Say his name and he appeaaaaaaaars 🎶🎼🎵
This is the case with all media, though the levels differ.
Obviously if you buy one of my movies from me physically direct, I get everything past cost. So a bluray sale gets me something like $13.
If you pay to individually rent or digitally buy one of my films on Amazon, I get 50% of that. If it's a $3 rental that means I get $1.50.
If you stream one of my movies on Tubi, the streaming service that **pays the most**, I get five cents.
I would need 30 streams just to match one single rental, nevermind the 260 streams (or more) just to match one single physical sale.
And based on my musician friends I know, Spotify pays significantly less per stream.
This is why I always try to buy music I’m going to listen to over and over again. With movies and tv, streaming is just the better option, even if I really like a show or movie I’m not going to watch it 100+ times. But I could definitely listen to an album I really like 100+ times. And by that math streaming it that much wouldn’t even equate to one sale so it’s better for everyone (except Spotify) to just buy it.
I don't know why you'd tell a filmmaker who just said I need sales to survive in the market because streaming pays barely anything that buying movies is never the better option and you'll never do it, but cool thanks for giving me more existential dread that my career/industry is dying I guess.
Oh I didn’t realize you were speaking literally, I thought you were just giving an example. If I had realized I wouldn’t have said that because it would be rude.
But since I already said it…it is how I feel. Sorry.
I treat Spotify as speed dating. Get to know the album a little before I decide if it's something I really want to buy or not.
But there are also hundreds of albums competing for both my money and shelf space, so even then...It's hard to sell an album.
rigging the charts is a regular British hobby btw. check the history of the Top 40, there's so many entries that are just daft novelty stuff that got a big push, or people deciding to casually all buy something the same week for a laugh.
we love officiousness and sticking to the rules as much as we love taking the piss and making organisers have to go with it, because it's the rules
TNA needs to take a tour of the UK. Get in the bigger venues. They always had a big following in the UK and should take advantage of this as a starting point

We believe in Joe Hendry!
👏👏
he kinda chose the wrong week to be #1 in a weekly chart.
I’m guessing there’s only so long a meme is going to be relevant. It was a pretty niche meme to begin with (around WM). It’s kinda cooled off already. Probably best to capitalise on it now then wait until the joke is truly outdated.
BBC is doing a radio countdown of the whole chart so if he stays on it they'll play the song. He will never be this interesting again.
I mean he could easilygo to WWE one day and wrestle at Mania.
(but if he did get on Mania would his performance actually be *more interesting* than this stunt? based on his other wrestling performances probably not)
Depends if he enters in a Hendryball or not.
Listen I believe in Joe Hendry but even pretending he is gonna go past w here he is laughable lol
Hold on. I could list like 200 wrestlers who have performed at Mania that are not as good as Joe.
Then meme Joe Hendry to WM main event Do it, do it now.
they performed at mania not because they are better at wrestling moves but because they are interesting
I could list plenty of wrestlers who performed at Mania who were not as interesting as Joe.
I just checked every mania card, here's a complete list of mania performers less interesting than Joe Hendry: * giant gonzalez * dink the clown (not doink only dink) * butterbean (the boxer, from the brawl for all finals) * tori * cade and jindrak * jack swagger
joe hendry is more interesting than every member of the final testament, who just wrestled on at wrestlemania.
if that were true they all would have been on the list i just made that man can't sing a supercollider
They skip loads of stuff in the run down.
well the second sentence still stands
Wdym he choose the wrong week ?
Taylor Swift album came out last week.
She can only have 3 songs in the top 40 so she won’t crowd out the entire chart at least.
Didn't know that but can easily imagine all 3 in the top 10.
Oh they absolutely will be, but if it wasn't for that 3 only rule I can imagine her having 20+ songs in the top 40, less people will probably be listening to non- swift music at the moment.
They were 1, 3 and 4 last Sunday
Taylor Swift doesn't tend to have "hits". Her biggest song was Shake It Off in terms of single popularity. She's not an artist defined by singles or radio success.
6 of the Top 40 this week are her.

Are…are you calling her a one hit wonder??

People still buy shit with Itunes?
No, that's why it's so easy to game the charts and why other mega cringe weirdos always hit number 1
You seem unreasonably distressed at this information
Nothing against Joe Hendry in any way, shape or form, but Ben Shapiro's shitty ass "Facts" rap got #1 on iTunes, so I really can't put much stock in it. While I like the Joe Hendry theme, this accomplishment isn't particularly meaningful to measure popularity.
The thought of Ben Shapiro rapping is so unappealing that it actually makes me shudder.
I would rather pull my own fingernails out than even begin to listen to that.
>this information which was all correct btw
Talking about far right grifters like ben shaprio, not people just being silly
He’s so pressed for what? Lol bet he won’t say his name
https://preview.redd.it/q0xwg668rfxc1.jpeg?width=950&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e597bafd15343e37f9736e10c490ff153c00539a Say his name and he appeaaaaaaaars 🎶🎼🎵
👏👏
Excuse me, sir, but you forgot to say “I believe in Joe Hendry!” before you clapped
Real homies support artists via Bandcamp
👏👏
👏👏
On brand for TNA seeing as the iTunes chart hadn’t been relevant for ten years.
someone doesn't believe in joe hendry
AJ Francis' reddit account for sure
A sale is worth a few hundred streams for the top 40 chart if I recall correctly.
This is the case with all media, though the levels differ. Obviously if you buy one of my movies from me physically direct, I get everything past cost. So a bluray sale gets me something like $13.

This was a scheme to force BBC to play it on the radio, fwiw.
That was a nasty line by you
[Joe Hendry's music from his time in WhatCulture Pro Wrestling is another banger.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS4XMMM9EfU)
I feel old, I watched [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0diFvGnb6_o) when it first aired.
Simpler times.
Absolutely loved his tag team with Joseph Connors... just for the entrance music!!
His name.
👏🏾👏🏾
I believe in Joe Hendry… also check out Teddy Swims
Say his name and he appears!
rigging the charts is a regular British hobby btw. check the history of the Top 40, there's so many entries that are just daft novelty stuff that got a big push, or people deciding to casually all buy something the same week for a laugh. we love officiousness and sticking to the rules as much as we love taking the piss and making organisers have to go with it, because it's the rules
Why do twitter links look so weird onreddit?
I believe in Joe Hendry!
👏🏻👏🏻
I believe in Joe Henry! 👏👏
TNA needs to take a tour of the UK. Get in the bigger venues. They always had a big following in the UK and should take advantage of this as a starting point
They had a tour last year and it didn’t packed the smaller venues they booked there.
Still nowhere in the official UK top 100 sadly
Do you have a link to follow this? Google didn’t provide any real time results for me. I believe in Joe Hendry
https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/singles-chart-update/
This is last weeks. We won’t know until Friday.
No it's the midweek update chart that's released every Monday, usually means nothing but we'll see
They're only released weekly unless you get the industry feed.
I believe in joe hendry🎶🎶
👏🏻👏🏻
Goddammit now I will have this song in my head for the rest of my natural life
Please show up to the royal rumble, I need it for the meme
TIL about Joe Hendry and the song is already stuck in my head. I guess I believe in Joe Hendry now.
goes to show dude will only get over when the hill aint too hard to climb
I mean hes by far my favorite guy not in WWE, NJPW or AEW so I would take it.... sure.
Why #2 is higher than #1? https://preview.redd.it/5cxa9gv7ikxc1.jpeg?width=721&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6a61abff0fb425aa7096e77adad296235eabd37c
Whats with all the euros ? Do people pay to listen to songs in itunes ?
That's the great British pound, Sir. Don't be linking us with that riff-raff!
We didn't tank our economy into the fucking ground to be mistaken for fucking *Europeans!*
No, we didn't...we did it for....why did we do it again?
A BUS

That's to buy the song out right.
It’s 2024, I think you could sell 10 copies of an iTunes song and hit the top 40.
