I love how stans decided that she's a charts artists and act surprised whenever she doesn't pull off heavy chart numbers :huntyga: I don't think she'd be doing the music she's doing right now if she was that concerned about getting high chart numbers because clearly songs like Your Power and Lost Cause aren't what's sticking in the top 10. But that doesn't take away from their quality (even if I think Lost Cause is my least favorite single from the album so far, Your Power is a great song).

 

Soft, soothing, and succulent

Your Power deserved to reach #1 in my opinion, I really liked the song. So far, Lost Cause is the only song from her I'm not feeling that much, but the rest is fine by me. I can't wait for the album.

I don't care, I like this song very much. I hated "Therefore I Am", but this sounds like a real Billie track and it's so good. I don't care about charts, I just love the music.

I am authistic, so don't be offended if I make a mess sometimes.

I’m not a big follower of Billie’s, so from an outside perspective it definitely feels like she’s fallen off. Whereas her last era I couldn’t escape her no matter what, I’ve barely noticed she’s put new music out this time round.

I remember a big noise about her new hair/look recently but that’s about all.

I like her though, so I hope she isn’t a one-and-done; she’s obviously very talented and an interesting artist - fingers crossed it’s just a mini slump.

It’s always hard when the previous era has been huge too, anything less than that for a new album always makes it seem like it’s not doing as well, even if things are fine. I’m sure she probably is doing great in reality, she just doesn’t seem to be capturing the zeitgeist in the same way - but that’s a hard thing to pull off every time.

Gawd who caaaaaaaares just leave the girl to write whatever music she wants and be as famous or unfamous, successful or unsuccessful as she wants.

It's so weird to me that these days there are two types of music fans: the ones who enjoy consuming music as it comes out throughout the year, and the ones who stan charts and numbers. Why do people care so much about who is performing the best? Y'all aren't record execs, you aren't getting paid, you're supposed to be the consumer who enjoys it

Two things:

1. Noone stays on top forever

2. It seems like she's consciously chosen to make less commercial music now. And I think the heavy beats and edgy subject matter of WWAFAWDWG was kinda a phase for her. Not many teens can express their teen angst in music like she did, but she's an adult now and you can hear that shift in her music

Pretty much exactly like Lorde. However, she has been away for so long I think whatever she brings us will blow up because she really has been missed in the scene by her fans. Like Lorde was THE girl, damn even Bowie called her the future of pop. Like ya said, nobody stays on top forever, this gen has a very small attention span and there is allllways someone new being cooked up behind them.

It’s just a boring song. This is the first single she’s released that I don’t care for.

Just speaking of Lorde... I can’t wait to see what she brings us next! She’s the prime example of what I’m talking about. She’s a real artist who doesn’t rush or force her music, she takes her time to make something she’s proud of, doesn’t stick herself in a box and allows herself to change and evolve, doesn’t fit a marketable pop star mold.
However, because she’s so talented and creative, whatever she’s made so far has stood on its own and earned her the notoriety she deserves. she dared to be different to everything else that was currently selling, and the risk paid off. (Sound familiar? Gaga, Billie...)
Not a risk record labels want to make when they can pump out a new one hit wonder each year and be guaranteed money, but the result is so much better imo
