Against all odds, she defies Billboard’s numbers! She sold less than expected :ororomunroe:

Oh don't be a brat, #3 with an abrasive album like that that's doing better on charts than Crash (which was intentionally way more mainstream) is so huge for her, I love that, it tells us she's growing and growing while staying true to her artistry, maybe the next one will be an even better album and it will peak #1 (if it's in the middle of a Taylor hiatus we can hope for it :trollga:)

Why are the club gays so cheap? Give some money to your queen, for Christ’s sake!! :grr:

That’s kind of the drawback of being a hyperconnected artist, people tend to consume your art only in a connected way. With that level of hype, if her fanbase had a Swiftie level of economic commitment, she’d be on top of the world.

Do you mean less than reported? :laughga:

It says she sold 77K, after Billboard originally reported 82K in error 

there are no projections in that tweet. just a correction of sale figures. Go touch some grass :smh:

It's still amazing and well deserved, Charli is one of the least boring and most honest singer out there. :heart:

It feels weird laughing at fairly independent artists like Charli for underselling by 5k in a foreign county, while billionaires like Taylor are literally printing chart figures for themselves because they have a cult fan base that gets off on their fave's financial domination :alsemanche:

brat might not be for everyone, but it has more artistic integrity in the opening second of the first track than TTPD has in all 40+ variants. That's 77k copies that will actually be opened and played :oops:

I get that, I'm a Charli gay and for me putting an album on silent to give it streams or buying a vinyl without the machine to play it is too basic and Taylor-coded, Charli gays don't f with that :laughga:

Good for her!!!!! The album is on repeat! 
 

She makes such fun music. There’s a billboard/paint wall in the city that I want to go and check out. 
 

Her and Troye’s show is gonna be so much fun.
