A New Jersey public comment period turned into an impromptu karaoke session, with one man dragged out mid-Morrissey and another performing as a singing bong.
A podcast appearance and a Rolling Stone feature pull back the curtain on the commercial collapse of Lizzo’s latest album, raising questions about radio, fandom, and personal brand.
After the album sold just 2,649 copies in its first week, the Grammy winner spoke plainly about commercial disappointment and a strained public connection.
The record’s absence from the chart marks a steep commercial decline from 2022’s ‘Special.’ Lizzo points to streaming’s rise and algorithmic social feeds as root causes, but the story may be more complex.
The track arrives ahead of Lizzo’s next album and pulls the franchise’s original cast into a video that winks hard at its own history.
The singer says the shift away from chronological feeds has made it nearly impossible to coordinate a release, and that “virality does not equal album sales.”
Lizzo posted a TikTok arguing that non-chronological feeds and biased algorithms are making it hard for fans to know when her new album drops.
The singer’s foundational message of self-love is being tested by personal transformation and public controversy.
