I wouldn't care. I'd just enjoy making music for the small amount of fans I have.

 

All the artist I stan Are Flops in fact yes im the only stan for those artist even on this forum and those boys are so thankful everyday they enjoy making music sometimes maybe a song will suddenly become a hit.  But honestly being a musican is not about being top of the charts it's about the Arts and I guess atrl find it hard to understand.

 

your label:

Hoe around with all the top radio hosts and DJs tbh!

Gotta do what I gotta do tbh!

I would roll whatever small fanbase I have into an OnlyFans following, but without any full nudity in case my career picks back up.

**** my way to the TOP

Book a BTS or a BTS solo member collab 

 

 

The song will most likely fall after 1 week

Even SiriusXM!

Call up Stargate and reinvent 

 

Bc the prompt specifies “newish artist”, I wouldn’t sign a record deal until I had established a name for myself. The artists I idolize write, produce & perform so I’d follow in that tradition, which eliminates a lot of expenses so that takes the pressure off of flopping bc nobody’s hounding me for a hit to get their advance $ back. I’d use my pre-existing work & fanbase to negotiate a good & fair publishing deal & record some generic pop songs & get my team to have them plugged to popular singers. Father John Misty did that for a hot min (not that he was “flopping”) & it rly increased his visibility. It only takes 1 high profile collab to catapult someone into lots of opportunities. Maybe even settle for gimmicky advertising syncs just to get some cash to put more money into promotion.

I’d try to win over the critics and built a fanbase off of pretentious “alternative” stans who love a P4K BNM. Even if I’m not making numbers on streaming, I could make money through live shows and merch like Caroline Polachek or something 

Within a year or so release a follow-up EP and perform like crazy to secure some sort of fanbase. Collab with a labelmate or two.

 

A bit after that, release a proper studio album that's stronger, has multiple songs with broader appeal, and a strong campaign. If something clicks with a larger audience, give it a major push. 

• promote it on grindr
• drag myself on atrl
• pretend to stan bts/taylor
• ultraviolence track 9
• desperate tik tok dances 
• gofundme to pay my rent

Try n build a fanase by making relatable music people can connect with. Book shows at as many events as possible 

I’d make an only fans where ppl can watch me twerk to my flop songs 

Stay the course, stick by my work and promo it till the era ends... then go back to drawing board and hopefully come back stronger than ever.

Call it a pre-release single

With the kind of music I'd be making, a mix of jazz, house, electronic and funk, I'd expect to flop. But I would have a dedicated fan base and that's all I'd need to be happy and carry on.

Call it a gift for the fans.

I’d have a coke fueled Twitter meltdown

the Nicki print

try to go viral on twitter and become memeable 

stick with the flop and promote it endlessly so that it stays in people's minds and 10 years later they call it a misunderstood masterpiece.

 

hop on a collab with a successful labelmate and release a new project 6-12 months later

I'd keep on touring to fund the music and gain more fans.

Release onlyfans content with my music in it to garner streams for it

Become a critic darling 

move to a different country and change my name

 

jk, I would just write my Shake It Off and start my 1989 era and then go internationally famous and win a grammy and and and
