suburbannature Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) For how enormous Royals was, I'm kind of stunned that it's only pulling 344k daily. And Lorde's entire discography is only doing 2.3 million By comparison, Lana is doing 1.3 million daily with Summertime Sadness and 1 million with Yes to Heaven - two songs with the same total as Lorde's discography. Melanie Martinez has nearly double the daily streams of Lorde. Halsey has Without Me doubling Royal's streams and more lead streams (2 million more total). Why couldn't Lorde serve longevity in the streaming era like her peers? Edited April 30 by suburbannature 2 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HonourableVomit Posted April 30 Popular Post Share Posted April 30 (edited) She doesn't do popstar life, appear publicly, release regularly or promote herself as a brand. She's an artist doing her thing living comfortably away from the spotlight and actually walking that walk instead of courting attention while complaining about it. The modern Kate Bush when you think about it. Similarly, if Royals got licensed for something I have no doubt it'd resurge in popularity because of its timeless prescient message and catchy hook.

Maybe it depends on the demographic but I don't see how it could be considered poor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witnessed ET Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 2.3 million total discography streams is shockingly low considering Pure Heroine's success and Melodrama actually being successful in the middle of the streaming era....but then I also think about the fact that she hasnt/doesnt release as often as the other girls you mentioned, and she doesnt really play the popstar game of performances, mulitple visuals etc. And Royals is like her only big hit and that happened in 2013 before streaming really exploded, and i dont think that song stood the test of time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayseri Mantisi Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Just obsessed, stuck in past, can't adapt type of gay These threads have already been made several times and you still try Literally no one including her gives a **** about her sales or numbers, she just drops masterpieces every 4 years and then disappears Her recurring streams are actually so good for someone who apparently dropped "disaster of an album" according to ATRL, with having 21 million monthly listeners and Ribs, Supercut etc timelessly going viral every few months. Royals was also the most certified RIAA solo song recently. She has more monthly listeners than Carly Rae Jepsen, Charli XCX, FKA twigs, Caroline Polachek, Tove Lo, Kim Petras etc combined but I don't see threads like this about them. Spend your time with something else please... 7 1 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnyfatty Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Time flies. Pure Heroine was released 11 years ago Melodrama was released 7 years ago she didn't do much between those years. she has songs that go viral sometimes which is great but she doesn't really care.

Lady Claire Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Also i forgot to add that the 2013-15 era of music kinda generated the biggest era of fads when we think about it And i don't mean to shade Lorde or anything, but if we see the ones that were on top back then and where they are now...
