It's hard to explain... yes, it was huge, but you'd have to be online a lot to really notice the level of promotion it received. And who is online? Everyone young. This album was relevant, atrl believing otherwise is just another proof of yall being out of touch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everyone is online now and what's online is what's the most relevant; a better case would be to say that it isn't popular outside of girls and gays, which is kinda true but also applies to just about every female pop star 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life Savers Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Honestly at some point I think the aesthetics and memes kind of outshone the music, which is supposed be the important thing in the first place. She has done things very well and been very smart about the popularity, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There can still be widely popular music eras that don't just stay confined to internet niches, take Olivia's SOUR or Adele's pre-30 hype with Easy On Me. That kind of popularity gets talked about even by people outside the usual online spaces. Hadn't it been for Twitter or TikTok, Charli XCX would still be mentioned as much as she was before 2024.

PerfectCure Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago And honestly why not mention numbers lol? This is a music project after all. I'm looking at her Spotify page and noticing her most streamed song currently is Guess (with Billie Eilish) having 255 million streams. Apple (a TikTok viral hit with its own dance) is barely pushing 200 million. This is a decent performance at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flower Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago 1 hour ago, RatGod said: Probably the best in recent history. People love to say that "it's just a twitter thing" or "it never left the internet" when it's not true. As someone above me said, ask Obama. Everything just went right this era, the music was good, people connected with it instantly. Charli also helped keep it interesting, the boiler room sets caught a lot of people's attention and made people want more. Idk if im putting it into the right words, but it feels like the first organic hit era in a long time. Also feels refreshing in an era where artists really only make an era last a week or two, or do sporadic things over 6 months but disappear otherwise for an artist to properly promote the album. Right. Even some of my straight friends who never listens to "gay" music notice the existence of BRAT and ask about my green pfp, asking if it's related to BRAT, and saying how they like Von Dutch, 360, Guess, and ofc Apple.
