an independent artist whose album was shelved for a decade... i'll let her have this god bless her, it's a miracle she put out this album 

 

Literally this. Outside of pop stans and forums like this, people don't know her. This IS a big deal for someone who was once a more prominent part of pop and has been going it indie for a while. 

[FOCK]

This is literally an ad… lol.

The entire thing is set up.
 

You can even see the professional videographer with the cam gesturing at her.

She's no longer getting any royalties since Katy sold off her discography. Bonnie said in a TikTok comment she made no money from the sale either.

Is this for real? I don't get how Katy selling off her discography stops Bonnie's bag, since wouldn't she just continue to be paid for her percentage of the royalties thru the official organizations that dole them out? 

 

OT: Bonnie, the legend that you are! The gworlies always credit Dr. Puke for Katy's success, but we all really know it was because of your incredible songwriting, and refining of Katy's often dire lyricism that delivered a string of unforgettable hits.

That's not AT ALL how royalties work… Katy sold HER share of publishings.

Huh howww?

I wonder how many copies you have to sell to be #2 on pop iTunes for a day but probably 50.  Congratz though

[Bubble Tea]

Congratulations LEGEND! It's a strong pop album, she's so talented. The world will forever sleep on her but i will always be thankful for the amazing pop she brought into my life.

There's something so funny about artists having absolutely no clue how the charts work

 

And then Fergie's album debuted at . . .  19.

this has to be a lie, because songwriters can also sell their catalogs. do you think that when Savan Kotecha sold his catalog with Ariana songs she lost right to royalties? definitely not...  Katy has only sold her percentage of publishing rights, producers and songwriters still own their rights and receive royalties.

Honestly good on her we should all be less shady of these women's' achievements. It's not like many ATRL users have released an album. Also Double Dutchess was a top tier album and went number one in my house
