I just can't stand it when smaller MORE talented artists get put down for being of lesser popularity

LOL why didn't she say that when she ACTUALLY was on tour.

I mean... the taylor curse will get ms. charlotte so I'm not bothered. Also I couldnt attend the tour cause she went to like 3 countries or some ****. I also remember people saying the age range was quite diverse. + Taylor started in 2006 so if you add 12 years to fans who were 5 years old you get 17. even if they became a fan with speak now or fearless those fans are teens now.. 

 sorry ... The Netflix show was phenomenal

Her work with SOPHIE went unnoticed

Look here, sis Rolling Stone, a famous music magazine if there ever was one, scored her higher than P!nk, Demi, Kelly Clarkson and Dua Lipa Stop making this **** up. Just because you didn't notice her work, doesn't mean everyone else didn't either.

Why would a crowd be able to sing along to Vroom Vroom  at a music festival (not even her own concert) if no one noticed her releases?

But how big is the 'PC' fandom? Not very... Charli's most well known song is probably Boom Clap which is not PC at all

Her work with SOPHIE went unnoticed and personally sounds just sounds like noise... not into that genre at all

You're right, it's not big, but one of her fan-favorites is "Taxi," an unreleased song that she always performs

[LOVEDRUG 10,734]

"I been busy thinking about boys, boys, boys" is literally the hook of a Charli song 

And she calls us juvenile?

Then why is she getting consistent professional acclaim and even more acclaim than her peers? Pitchfork is calling her the pop star of the future and you're saying she's not delivering? It's fine if you don't like her but don't make stuff up. Are you actually saying Katy makes better music, the eternally critically bashed pop star whose albums will be remembered as the worst of mainstream pop? (and I love Katy so don't come at me, but it's true and you know it)

Charli is a gamble for investment because she doesn't necessarily make on trend radio friendly pop That's the simple reason. It doesn't have anything to do with quality... Do you think Gaga would've been promoted as hard as she was by Interscope if she debuted with Marry the Night or Shallow? Of course not. So I dunno. I just think you paint a very misguided picture of the music industry and of Charli.

Nah. Gaga was a whole gamble because Just Dance is nothing like the songs on the radio at that time. The took a chance on her and they won.  Also, Warner Bros. promoted Shallow as it was part of their movie

With Charli, she had the potential after releasing Boom Clap... but done nothing with it. If she released a good solid piece of work, she would be a lot bigger than what she is

But Katy had two solid albums where she was ontop of the world. They know she has potential to hit big when she wants. Also Witness flopping was due to the label pressuring Katy to release a record. Never Really Over is a very solid comeback song. And yes, of Charlis work with SOPHIE is anything to go by, Katy is streets ahead of her

Yes thats true, if Charli made songs like Boom Clap then she would have success. As I said, Melodrama and every Beyonce album is highly praised. But are they actually good? Well thats subjective. Not everyone is gonna enjoy a praised piece of work. 

I study Music Business at college so I'm kind of versed on this stuff. The label is obviously not fully supportive of Charli, wether it be quality of music or talent it debatable. But Atlantic dont want to take the risk for some reason... she isn't a big artist regardless so her saying that she doesn't want to open anymore but tour is crazy to me. She would need to do a local tour first to build a fanbase, a strong one. And she would need to make songs that everyone can enjoy

[Whispering 18,865]

Not really sure who this is, but Taylor gave her an opportunity to perform in front of hundreds of thousands of possible fans. 

From what I’ve seen, Taylor does have younger fans, but she also has hundreds of thousands of fans that have been with her for over 15 years. Now, they are young adults. 

This artist should hope for a fan base that diverse and loyal.

Okay but who is actually talking about her? Is Pauline down the road with 2 kids and is in her late 20s talking about her? Is Martin who is 18 and has a girlfriend talking about her? Probably not

I dont see anyone talk about her except some pop stans. And thats the truth. A lot of people are talking about Iggy, or Rita Ora, or the people you mentioned more than Charli. A highly praised work is all good and that, but as I said, who is talking about her? Who is saying "ugh that new charli song is dope" EXCEPT from pop stans?

@Didymus Most of the replies in this thread are "who is this?" which kind of proves my point

[JazzGa 14,621]

I cannot BELIEVE how many of you so-called pop fans are acting like  you've never heard of Charli XCX  I'm definitely not a stan of hers, never bought or downloaded anything, but just from like... existing on the internet... I can easily list her biggest hits, Fancy feat. Iggy, I Love It, Vroom Vroom (literally just heard that in the club last week)... like, before you come in here commenting "Who" 100 times, how bout yall go outside every once in a while

[DelusionalGaga 29,581]

You gotta love Charli 

[Reginald 13,841]

I get where she's coming from. I would rather keep my artistic integrity and perform for adults, rather than sell out to radio pop and kids.
