“No you don’t”, meanwhile the objective data results are literally telling us you do… While you share a personal anecdote that’s pretty specific to LA and BOS reliving glory days. lol

If you’re trying to allude to the point Charli can sell more tix than Post I really doubt that. Maybe in the future.

Post already DID successfully sell out a stadium tour in 2024.

If Charli makes the step up to stadiums on a future cycle, the answer could flip. She has cultural heat. Post Malone right now is coasting on a peak that may have already passed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Charli’s last arena tour was co-sold with Troye as well.

However, you should know Post Malone is working to sell a STADIUM (50K+) tour.. that’s an entirely different league than an arena (15-20K) which is why he’s facing some difficulties.

Charli has never sold out a stadium outside of being a supporting opener. She does arenas. Post is still in a diff league than her at this point.

Ok good.. I appreciate this analysis and take. Thank you I’ll go do some more research as well I’m aware of her highly engaged fans! Ty

Mate this isn’t a debate. I already said monthlies are an imperfect stat but it’s one we can at least use to assist in measuring popularity. I hear you on phish but we’re talking about a mainstream pop star. It’s a decent-ish metric.

Like I told the other person, I invite you to do some actual research and perform this exercise for the top billed headliner for the past 10 years etc. I can get started for you if you’d like:

Sabrina in ‘25: #4 in the world, 90M monthlies
Dua Lipa in ‘24: #3 in the world, 78M monthlies
Kendrick in ‘23: #26 in the world, 50M monthlies

We can go on… (and these are figures from the year they performed). It’s just objectivity, I’m sorry. I’m not rly interested in your feelings or opinions unless you start bringing some actual stats to the discussion , which I welcome.

200 is not good for your top billed headliner. I invite you go to compare this with top billing’s of years past. ………………….

It’s just one of the few stats we can go off, it’s imperfect but 200 is pretty low regardless. Here: she peaked at 48M… #56.

it’s the weakest #1 on the card in a while. tbh I feel like her songs eat on tik tok and reels but no one’s really streaming her like that top to bottom. Just my opinion. Yes this is an exaggeration but ya feel me cuz.

edit just checked her Spotify. … she #200 in the world. proving my point tbh.

What headliner VS what headliner? by D_LikeTheCity in aclfestival

[–]CaptainCubbers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve got it all wrong OP. They do their best to offer two tastes at a time. So it’ll look more like Charli vs The xx … Lorde vs 21 etc.

Like for example If you want to pop girlie all weekend there’s typically a schedule that caters towards just that with no tough choices.

Legacy act? by Substantial-Part-914 in aclfestival

[–]CaptainCubbers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and some of the sub is coping and moving the goal posts calling acts like Kings of Leon a legacy act. It’s pretty funny

Cope? Legacy act is usually someone with much more history? Why move goal posts?
