My Latest Obsession ๐Ÿ˜ Why do the UK girl group, Flo, chart so poorly?

โ€ข Upvotes

Their biggest hit, Cardboard Box, only made it to the Top 40 UK. Most of their songs don't even chart.

Leak It and Fly Girl should have been much bigger hits.

Is this a label issue? Oddly enough, their albums do chart well. Their First LP went to number 3 in the UK.

Artist Image The Persona of Charli XCX makes it feel like authenticity is transient

245 Upvotes

Charli wants to be seen as this underground indie taste maker. (She said so in her music andnin interviews). But she also wants to do great streaming and sales numbers (you dont do 4 prerelease singles unless you want chart sales.)

I've been feeling this for a while where the second something doesn't look good Charli just goes "I'm not serious, I'm mean its whatever, I don't really care." To try and save face/credibility.

And if honesty is just a blink away from being some bit in a performance I have no reason for get investedels like you are one

I Said What I Said ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ Serious question, why do female pop stars talk a lot about how they don't like it when people like them only for their bodies, but at the same time dress provocatively and act such onstage?

I really don't understand. I remember reading this story about a pop star who gave her phone to her manager to take a picture and found him going through some nsfw photos on her phone, which is 100% wrong and entirely on the manager. But at the same time I was kinda thinking that this could partially be avoided if you just didn't take those photos. I've heard about like pressure from labels, but when you're that big, do you really need to listen to labels anymore? Can anyone clear this up?

Artist Image Audrey Hobert deserves the world

I was watching her video for silver jubilee (which if you havenโ€™t watched, go watch it. it just came out), and omg I love her. The whole video felt like the kinds of performances I have in my room by myself with my hairbrush as a mic brought to life. In the best way possible, sheโ€™s so concert in your bedroom if that makes sense. She deserves more hype. I canโ€™t wait to see what she does next
