One composer occupies all top 10 slots in iTunes classical chart
mainNever mind that people who are serious about classical music avoid iTunes for its lack of metadata.
Never mind that even the serious ones would struggle to name a successful living Italian composer.
But this man is dominating iTunes this week like no musician that ever lived.
And it’s not just because he has a new album out. Not to mention the theme music for BBC1s Doctor Foster. Or because he is flatteringly short of hair. It’s just so.

It’s not serious… should not deserve mention on SD.
SD is a ridiculous concept. Anyone should live without.
Says who?
The man is harmless and keeps a few musicians employed. He might write pieces at the standard of a modest GCSE music project but he obviously gives some people pleasure. Live and let live and do as I do-hit the mute button asap.
If Einaudi is classical music, then I’m a short-toed lark.
His music reminded me of Muzac, which – at my age – I do prefer.

“people who are serious about classical music” and know how to use a search engine don’t need to rely on metadata to find their way to the music they want to listen in streaming services.
Bubble gum music.
Anyone remember Enya?
Under an economic system of schematic expediency, the cheapening of ethical and aesthetic standards is inevitable. This is readily observable in our government, business practices, media, arts, and educational systems. We expect, for example, to be lied to by our government and media and consider it a norm. When these forms of expediency become widely accepted, the arts also become ethically and aesthetically debased.
Well I have read some intellectual bullshit over the years but this really did bring a smile too my face!
Turn on your Musac and you’ll no doubt smile even more…
Of course, you mean for “songs”, not albums. So people buy ONE album of Einaudi a lot, and since no one buys classical music by the ‘song’ on iTunes, Einaudi dominates. Easy. That says nothing about the album ranking.
Again, fact-checking is optional, clearly.
