If he was trying to [start a discussion,](https://twitter.com/billboardglenn?ref=hypebot.com) he succeed. David Lowery of [The Trichordist](http://thetrichordist.com/2016/01/29/grammy-for-stupidest-tweet-of-the-year-glenn-peoples-of-billboard-magazine/?ref=hypebot.com), who is currently [suing Spotify for $150 million](https://www.hypebot.com/david-lowery-file-150m-class-action-suit-against-spotify-over-unpaid-royalties-other-lawsuits-may-fo/), fired back that Peoples' tweet should win a Grammy for "Stupidest Tweet of the Year."
