Meanwhile the takes from Taylor fans in here have been much more respectful imo, but you're welcome to disagree. I don't see anyone calling brat a "poor excuse" of an album though, nor do we call her fans a "cult." Girl... 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor fanboy Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 It's BRAT Summer. Y'all cling onto GP like they care, they never do. Music Fans uniting dictate culture, and BRAT is a reflection of that. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Fan Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 It "feels" bigger than it is because it's a Charlie XCX album. Her stats and numbers used to be in the gutter. BRAT would be considered a commercial success if it stayed on BB200 for a month. The standard for a Charli XCX album is leagues below others. 4 weeks in Top 10 for BRAT is the same level of success than 12 weeks at #1 for TTPD. It's doing good but its impact is kinda limited to online spaces, it's dominating in its niche aka gay and stan twitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BravoTangoWhiskey Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Some of the pressed responses. Let's be real, no release comes close to the cultural impact of brat being used for promotion by a Presidential candidate. Honestly some of the mental gymnastics by some is dululu. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State of Grace. Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Since certain people started rambling about success and the songs being unknown. "twitter vibes" and "stan twitter" do not get you this. It is impossible for that bubble of online stans to keep the album afloat at +8M streams, and it jumped back to +10M streams yesterday. The bitterness and delusion are far too much. The album spent its first month in the Top 5 in the UK and it was #6 last week. It is also still hovering around the Top 10 on BB200. Mind you its a Charli XCX album. That is not just "stan twitter".

Jay L Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 The stars have aligned for Charli. So many people I know who never listened to her are now talking about her and BRAT it's wild. Now she's having impact on the presidential election and people are discussing her on the news to say only gays/stan twitter care shows how out of touch some of yall are. Get with it, BRAT summer here and it's not going away anytime soon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know the reason they came in swinging (unprovoked, mind you) is because they can't wrap their heads around the fact an album that sold less that 10% of their ASMR lullaby reader's album is somehow more impactful to the culture. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent W Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I mean what she achieved is great and very good for her as an indie artist, the outreach and growth is insane Sadly she's not big enough or known enough to call her era the event of the year Beyonce, Billie and Taylor's albums were a much bigger topic when they came out But I will say Charli grew a lot more this year than all of them combined if that makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungrymuffin Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 the oths gaslighting swifties into thinking they are triggered is unreal you have people from all bases to disagree with op yet they only focus on the swifties and cant even have an ounce of objectivity OT: maybe in the US, but it literally made no noise in my country 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrows Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 8 hours ago, Sugden said: huh? the album is doing 10m streams daily Not a lot for a hit album. And there's no succesful single which limits its "cultural relevancy" a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alex Posted July 23 Popular Post Share Posted July 23 14 hours ago, PoisonedIvy said: There is no verifiable metric that would prove the "GP" cares more about brat than they do about TTPD. Taylor's album engages much more listeners, streamers, purchasers, and unless you survey all of them, all we know is TTPD has garnered more success than brat. Any other anecdote is subjective and non factual. As if brat has any "actual" hits at all compared to TTPD If anything neither of them ended up permeating the general consciousness but at least Fortnight went #1 and is her best performing single on Spotify to date. .. you act as if 2 years ago there weren't dozens upon dozens of celebrities, athletes, and corporations using the "Midnights" template to market their products/themselves. I could find just as many tweets about that as you did about this brat aesthetic. Congrats to Charli for her stellar marketing this era, something Taylor has already achieved in the past; not that it's much of an achievement worth bragging about? not reading any of that. BRAT has officially found its way to become a part of a presidential campaign. the impact that has. the clearance that has. the implications that has. 4 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
