Why is brat's cultural success not translating into sales?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

We have been seeing massive cultural domination from Charli's album brat WW as of late. Leading the Kamala campaign, brat summer, Gen-Z culture, LGBTQIAA++ community, poppers community, etc.

 

However! When we turn to sales and streams, the album falls flat. What is the issue here?

Because Charli's target audience bought what they could have, and despite what stan twitter and atrl members think, she can't reach out of that circle.

ACCLAIM + Impact >>>>> sales. :sorry:

Thankfully my fave has both

:heart2:

 

 

OT:

 

Not surprising. When your target audience is primarily the LGBTQ+ hyper-pop community, it's challenging for this type of sound to resonate with a broader audience. It's no surprise that the album isn't achieving significant commercial success.

because it doesn't have a commercial sound? your parents, hags, locals etc probably would have a heart attack if they try to blast club classics in the car, it's literally that easy. she's not making childrens music and sales mean nothing.

Other pop stars have had massive hits with risqué sound. Artists like Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Lady Gaga for starters...

Not even comparable :rip: Charli isn't taking a "risk", she always had this experimental sound. An mpg changing their usual sound can be considered a risk for them but Charli isn't an mpg and she's just doing what she normally does.

Sales mean everything if you want a long lasting career :suburban:

This was long before any of them were considered 'MPG'. Bad Romance, one of Lady Gaga's first hits, was very risqué at the time!

sweetie pie 

 

got so much to learn 

this projection... no i have nothing to learn about this, you don't need huge sales to have a "long career" if you have a cult fanbase/critics/established demographic etc.

It absolutely is when it is projected to do 43k in the 8th week with essentially 0~ radio support or huge mainstream hits  :deadbanana2:

 

8th week:

BRAT - 43K

 

Pink Friday 2 - 35K

Eternal Sunshine - 32K

Cowboy Carter - 30K

Bad Bunny's last album - 35K

Kendrick's last album - 26K

Endless Summer Vacation - 21K

 

 

She's outdoing countless superstars in longevity at this point in release.

 

Oh... :cm:
