Citing contemporary names throughout the interview, John reportedly cited the need to see younger bands on the charts, such as Sharon Van Etten and Angel OlsenBesides Harry Styles:
“It’s lovely to see Kate Bush at a #1, but there aren’t many more good tracks in the Top 20. And the record charts are full of stuff like me, like the abba or the queen“, he declared, “It’s depressing – there are a lot of good records that deserve to be on the album chart, like Juanita Euka, Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen. What I want to know is why aren’t they there? Because of people like me!”
