Seeing the words “breakthrough pop album Brat” makes me feel like I’m going crazy.

Seeing the words “breakthrough pop album Brat” makes me feel like I’m going crazy. Brat? The album by a person who charted number 1 in two countries on their previous album? The person who wrote a song for the Barbie movie the year before? The person who had top ten single almost a decade before Brat came out????
What exactly is being “broken through” here?

@campbell she seems to occupy a weird liminal space in the pop hierarchy.

@Tim_Eagon I agree with that and also think it is fair to say she has been extremely popular for a very long time. Brat obviously was a sort of cultural phenomenon but she was very, very well known before that

@campbell I looked up her US chart success and Brat was definitely a commercial break through compared to her other albums.

@Tim_Eagon maybe idk what a breakthrough album is supposed to mean here, but “pop star who’s already a household name has a notably successful album” doesn’t feel like the right scenario given my understanding of the term. like does that mean renaissance is a breakthrough album for beyoncé?

@campbell Prior to Brat, her highest charting album on the Billboard 200 was Crash, which reached #7 and was on the chart for 3 weeks. Brat reached #3 and was on the chart for 47 weeks.
