Mrnoniee Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 (edited) Charli XCX has been making (small) waves (for a short amount) in a corner of music industry, with many (only gays) calling her a "brat pop" pioneer. But is the (alleged) success being attributed to her, truly justified? WHERE are the top 5s? WHERE are the top 10s? WHERE are the platinum records, gold records? Minus the traction she got through Lorde and (mostly) Billie and Brat is just hype. Gays keep praising Charli XCX as a the iT girl of 2024, but let's be real, where are the TANGIBLE results? Is Charli XCX's "brat pop" success just a bunch of hype or not, Disquss? trust me I absolutely J'ADORE my girl XCX, she's UNIQUE, AMAZING but ya'll are just OVERDOING it Edited August 31 by Mrnoniee 4 3 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Music Industry Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 It's obviously a huge success for her. That being said some people here were definitely reaching calling it the most relevant album of the year, calling Charli the biggest it girl of 2024, etc 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourFavoriteWeapon Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 BRAT is the biggest album of the year despite how it doesn't have a bunch of Hot 100 hits or isn't selling like hotcakes. Literally everyone knows "Brat Summer" and has heard Apple. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pendulum Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Success, Acclaim, Bopaility NOW....... I do have to admit that the straights have gotten a little brave with their appropriation of brat and Charli.

NoAngelus Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Overhyped, I still force myself to like it because for a change I want to be in zeitgeist but I just don't see appeal. Lyrics are cringe and not worth the praise she gets, voice annoying, songs too short to be songs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almighty Gaga Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Both. It's successful for her standards and an unexpected breakthrough. But also overhyped because the numbers don't match the amount of hype at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
