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 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.
