Starting point is 00:00:00 At the end of the day, these two artists have created success by giving off an authentic image, right? But Sexy Red versus Glorilla is a very interesting topic because in general, I really can't tell who's bigger than who. And the only reason I'm comparing these two specific artists is because if you don't know, Glorilla is signed to CMG slash Interscope records, which CMG is owned by Yogadi, but Anoscope is a major label in itself, right? Then we get to sexy red. She has a single out titled, I Love Freaks. That's literally what it's called. I catch you not.
Starting point is 00:00:47 It's what it's called. And she's under new 11 records, which seems to be independent. I don't know who new 11 records is. Let me see. New 11 records. I don't even know who that is. Like it seems like it's an independent. New 11 records.
Starting point is 00:01:08 That's the first time I've ever seen that. But basically, the reason why I want to compare these two artists is because I feel like there's a significant push in showcasing sexy red, but there's not as much highlight on Glorilla nowadays. I don't know if it's a changing of the guards or if somebody's powerful is stepping in saying that, were co-signing this artist
Starting point is 00:01:30 compared to co-signing another artist because if you don't know Lerilla basically put out an album, right? She put out an album and it was titled Anyways Life's Great and this album performed so horribly that they put this under EP Now I want you all to look up
Starting point is 00:01:50 the difference, let's do it together the difference between an EP and album right Because anyways, Life is Great by Gloverillah is 38 minutes and 9 seconds. And the reason why I'm pointing out the runtime between that album is because the RIAA sets a criteria for music. And usually EPs are typically easier to get certifications as far as gold, platinum, and diamond when it's considered an EP versus when it's considered an actual album. Like you need like 500,000 to be certified gold for an hour.
Starting point is 00:02:38 album but then for EP you need like 50,000 so it's like it's like a little different right and the reason is because EP is are typically only eligible for gold certification if they are shorter well because they are shorter than albums so EP or albums consistently have 10 or more tracks why EP usually has four to six tracks now I want y'all to go to glowrilla's project which is anyways life is great and count the number of tracks and you can already tell it's more to six right but the biggest thing i want to get to uh with that is that there's also the runtime and i'm getting i'm getting to a point with this this is why i'm bringing up gloverilla first but the certification for for ep as far as runtime there are typically under
Starting point is 00:03:38 30 minutes in length while albums are typically over 30 minutes in length so i want you to go to let's go back again to glowrillas anyways life is great 38 minutes. So technically it's an album if you look at the certification from R IAA. But of course nowadays the famous phrase is don't hate the player hate the game somehow her team was able to change it from an album to an EP because when she first put this out it was definitely being promoted as an album but when reports like this started come out which if you turn with me to analytic dreams on my Spotify channel you can see the video elements along with the audio basically glorilla ended up selling 28,000 first week which is not something to to scoff at
Starting point is 00:04:25 because that's a pretty nice number right but when considering her being on the rise and can in people in her her peer group like ice spice and other people not really selling way more than her as far as 28,000 it makes me wonder why nowadays they're trying to hide this quote unquote flop which I don't think it's a flop. I think they're just trying, them trying to hide it, changing it from album to EP, talking about,
Starting point is 00:04:53 um, like it's not even, if you go to a DSP is literally just under singles. Like, it's not album, like they're trying to act like she doesn't have an album out. So it makes it even worse that they're hiding it on these, well,
Starting point is 00:05:06 specifically Spotify to hide. I don't know about Apple, but specifically Spotify, they're trying to hide it. And they're coming out talking about how, um, now there's so much publicity on sexy red as she's made,
Starting point is 00:05:19 her first ever appearance on US Spotify charts at number 184. If that's news, then we really have to start having a hard look at some of these other musicians that people are saying, quote, unquote, is falling off. If this is what a rising star looks like, then I feel like Corla Ray is a superstar if we're going by these numbers. Because the reason why I want to compare Coral Ray, or no, Glorilla to Sexy Red is because people act like both of these artists can't flourish in their own right like they have to be um like one has to be trumping the other so i've seen a really important push for sexy red's music and on the other hand
Starting point is 00:06:05 people have been acting like glowrilla has been falling off so i just wanted to point that out which is why i'm gonna put glowrilla versus sexy red to have that salacious title but at the end of the day i want both of these artists to succeed but we have to point out how not even this so those two things that was showing like if you don't think those correlate sexy red has a well whiskey is um currently running not charts but it's is charting well for her but if you look at the numbers glorilla who has 3.7 monthly listeners and now somehow sexy red has 5.7 million monthly listeners and you look at her biggest track with ski ye is that 17 million streams currently and you look at glorilla with tomorrow two with carty b that's
Starting point is 00:06:57 119 million streams obviously you can go down the plethora of tracks between the two but there's not a significant difference between the two streams wise i feel like they're on the same level but a lot of people acting like glowrilla is falling off and sexy red is flourishing so the way that um i'm structuring it for you is just so you know that these two particular artists are around the same level, but the perception is what happens to put these artists at two different pedestals.
Starting point is 00:07:30 They put sexy red as one of the hottest artists in the game while people are saying Gloverill is falling off. So that's another thing I wanted to point out. Also, I found out what sexy red was under. She is under an independent record label from New York City, and it was founded by music industry,
Starting point is 00:07:50 veteran Michael God Goldwater Goldweiser I don't know I said it And you know To discover developed talent You know the whole nine yards But basically It's basically an independent label
Starting point is 00:08:03 So Glorillas on the endoscope Sexy Red is under new 11 records But at the end of the day The perception Even though they're performing similarly Similarly I can't say it
Starting point is 00:08:16 Even though they're performing Around the same level everybody's like one is falling off and one isn't so I just wanted to point out that fact so y'all aren't like um tricked into believing that glowrilla's falling off i don't think she's falling off at all if she's falling off that a bunch of a lot of these other artists or musicians is actually falling off because well except for ice spice ice spice is actually selling out here with like legit eps with like four or five tracks so um yeah i don't know why um glowrilla's label is is feeding into the hype for falling off by changing her album into an EP and things of that nature because even though sexy red is on the rise,
Starting point is 00:08:54 I do believe that Glorillic can still catch one and get right back into that discussion to being one of the highest artists out. But yeah, that's why I really wanted to touch on. I think a lot of people are underestimating the power of social media when it comes to publicizing these streams. Like 184, obviously that's an accomplishment, right? but people are acting like this track is like top 10 on billboard charts like people are acting like oh this is like running a running a country when it honestly isn't like you know it's one of those tracks that's doing well obviously compared to most artists but for it to be promoted like it's just a top five hit i think it's a little um a burner boy esk and why i say that is because people put
Starting point is 00:09:40 burn a boy on the level of perception that when his album sales for the United States came out to be 21,000 first week, people are now looking at him as like, are you flopping? Like, I thought you're supposed to be this big artist from overseas and you're only selling 21,000 when they don't know how the music industry works and how the sales co-aligned with some of the major labels agenda. So I think sexy red is obviously performing well, but so is Glowilla. and the perceptions is just something I wanted to
Starting point is 00:10:11 touch on in this subject to let people know that it's a lot more going on it's a lot that's beneath the surface that a lot of fans don't know so I just want to point that out and hopefully I did a good job on laying out why certain perceptions
Starting point is 00:10:26 are now starting to gain more noise in general so anyways click my link to your in my bio let me know in one of my social medias what do you think about the whole Glorilla versus Sexy Red and the perception altered by media and what is your feeling on how media goes about promoting and championing other artists and downgrading certain and
Starting point is 00:10:55 downgrading other artists when they're both performing around the same level
