base talk Mitski owns the biggest female debut week in 2022 (>Charli, Avril, Camila, etc). How?

Mitski’s new album ‘Laurel Hell’ was the biggest-selling record in America in its first week of release, new figures have confirmed.

 

Although it didn’t hit the top spot on the chart, ‘Laurel Hell’ did score the highest pure sales numbers of the week, Billboard has confirmed. Of 36,000 album-equivalent units, 24,000 were sales – as opposed to units made up by streaming figures or purchases of individual tracks.

Asian excellence 

[PMM]

I'm surprised but in a good way
Good Mitski deserves

[BlackoutZone]

Listenable music, you won't find that on Camila's or Latto's albums for example

[Heldenzeit]

It’s a great record 

[Bartender]

TABS 

[wastedpotential]

Good for her 

[Kayseri Mantisi]

She did that 

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

She's truly the dark horse of the season. Queen 

[killer_rose]

Because the album has Heat Lightning and talent. 

 

Not sure about the other girls.

I gave a few attempts but it's really hard for me to get into her songs , that's however besides The Only Heartbreaker, which is just purely insane. But other few songs I opened I find it hard to listen to. (I have the same problem with King Princess).

 

Can anyone recommend some other tracks from her that have some more "commercial sound" ?

 

PS, Also she is American? Always thought she is another British excellence

 

 

get into ha (yuh!)

It’s a great album, also her audience has increased by quite a bit, especially among Gen Z listeners.
