Who?

If she was a plant she wouldn't have been flopping for 3 full years of flop singles from the same album that's smashing rn

Chappell has been in the industry since 2017. She was dropped by Atlantic, had to move back to Missouri during the pandemic, and worked as a summer camp counselor at this point last year. She has built an authentic following for herself over the years, and she naturally blew up after opening for Olivia and performing in festivals because of her charisma and talent.  
 

Nobody thought that a sapphic woman who makes queer music would enter the mainstream like this, and it's unfortunate that people are undermining this achievement by calling her an industry plant.

I think if people all came to one definition of industry plant there could be some clarification. 

 

To me its clear there are artists who cosplay as indie when they have many connections, sometimes even having major label support. They are pop artists who take the aesthetics of others who aren't mainstream and repackage them. Their crafted image is usually one that is claimed to be genuine and of a "real artist" which is obviously hypocritical. 

 

Artists like Chappell, Sabrina, Tate, Olivia, etc, obviously had help getting their foot in the door but the huge machine didn't start backing them until the GP showed genuine interest. None of them are claiming to be struggling indie artists that just broke through mainstream. They are pop artists with label support you would expect anyone to get who is charting well.

I don't think Reneé is mainstream cause she has yet to be considered mainstream like no Hot 100 entry while she was everywhere for the Mean Girls Movie and awards seasons yet she know fell into obscurity again. What a dumb team she has lol they could have take advantage of the hype and release something but I guess being a Broadway musical act makes labels doubt about the marketing strategy

Are people really calling Chappell a plant?

I agree with Chappell, but Renée has been releasing music since 2022. She may have done one broadway show before that (granted, it was successful). But her music opportunities (doing SNL for example) do not correlate to her actual success as a musician (nor to the actual quality of her music, lbr)

But it's funny to imagine an industry exec waking up one day and saying "we need to make a lesbian drag queen the next big pop girl" 

 

 

[punisher]

literally most artists are industry plants

if they were signed before they blew up they are one… but there was usually a hustle before they were signed, and they most likely were indie artists at one point. minus those disney/nickelodeon people 

[VerdantHue]

Am I the only one who is not bothered by industry plants? If the music is good, I'm going to listen lmao.

When people say this it says they have no idea of what an industry plant is

 

plants are acts that were planted in the mainstream made to look like they became famous naturally and or independently but are secretly being backed up by a major investor with money and connections 

 

the biggest examples are caca and harry styles who were put in the xfactor and in groups first to make them seem like a normal person genuinely rose to fame. Styles was already even in another group before the xf. other examples are that all about the bass singer, Charlie puth, Jack Harlow, h.e.r. avamax and so on

 

Billie eilish is someone believed to be a plant but when plants at least have some redeemable talent it's ok. when they are forced like caca with flop after flop, not able to tour yet booking huge collabs, it's so blatantly disingenuous and annoying

They are a big problem tho.

 

There is a lot of underground talent that deserve a lot more attention and as listeners we would have a better experience if we were exposed to their music

 

Most industry plants are untalented nepo babies or people with connections that are really not the top quality for the exposure they get.

 

Is a lose-lose situation for real talented artists and consumers since we get garbage like Gracie Abrams just because they are someone's daughter 

[Katy V.!]

People aren't really calling Chappell an industry plant, yall need to stop paying attention to Twitter trolls.

I understand where you are coming from but what can you or I do about industry plants.

[Princess Aurora]

Imagine calling Chapell Roan an industry plant in the first place 

[Darius]

I think people use the term too loosely. Like, of course artists SIGNED TO A LABEL are being pushed, undergo development, etc. That's literally what a label is supposed to do for you….

[applestar]

Because yall keep letting MPB flop!

 

Johnny Orlando industry plant when?

[selena_lavigne]

At the end of the day i'm starting to view everybody as a robot product on my computer screen. 
Sure i appreciate the robots for providing me entertainment, but seeing any of them, as anything different, as i used to do would quite frankly not be beneficial. 
So yes, some auras of people are chosen by the king of the robots to be forced into more civilians with phones' screens. Is that a problem? Maybe it is.
