WELCOME BACK TO NICKY AT NIGHT!!! I hope yall had a wonderful holiday and are about to have an amazing New Year. 2024 was undoubtedly one of the greatest years of pop music we have ever had. I wanted to go back and look at some of the biggest albums of the year in retrospect, review the data, and discuss what I liked or disliked about each release. There was also SO much amazing music I didn't get to cover in this video. I wanted to keep it focused towards some of the biggest artists and biggest releases-- but I would love to find a way to do a video sometime soon on some of the most underrated music & artists that deserve more love!

WELCOME BACK TO NICKY AT NIGHT!!! It's been a while since I did an "Untold Lore of" episode, and I thought it would be fun to do one on an actor this time! I got the idea for this episode after seeing Rachel Zegler alllllll over my fyp lately with clips of her and Kit Conner in the Romeo & Juliet Broadway production. People were LOVING it and only saying the nicest things, which reminded me of this same time last year when people were HATING on her for that 1 tiny remark about the Snow White movie. It just shows how public perception is so fickle, and that there is this death of nuance on the internet Follow me on IG:

Welcome back to Nicky at Night! (trying out "Nicky at Night" as a name of the show... still dont know how I feel about it HAHA) This week we dive into the lore of Sabrina Carpenter, and her 10+ year long journey to getting to where she is today. From legal issues with her management, to a 10 year long contract, to the Olivia drama, Emails I Can't Send-- and now Short n Sweet

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give the podcast a 5 star rating and I will love you endlessle

Welcome to Part 2 of our series on Brat and Charli XCX! In part 1 of this series, we discussed the lore of Charli and the Brat album. The problems she face in the music industry, and how this 16 year long journey amounted to where she is today. But Charli's career did NOT always look like this. Brat is her 6th studio album. So what changed? And what made brat so successful? My theory was the story behind this album, and how masterfully it was told. The music marketing of this album is unlike anything I have ever seen. You can't go 10 minutes online anywhere without seeing "brat summer" at least once. We are now even seeing how this has permeated the mainstream, and even begin to have influence over politics. In today's episode we discuss the genius music marketing of brat-- and why this rollout is one of the best I have ever seen.

Charli XCX has become one of the biggest forces in the music industry. In a year of album releases from artists the likes of Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Ariana Grande-- it seems like all anyone can talk about it "Brat Summer" But her career did NOT start out this way. Charli has been working at this for 16 years, and only now is she finally starting to hit a new career peak. In this week's episode we take a look at the lore of Charli XCX. How she got to where the is today, her struggles in the music industry, and the creation of the Brat album. This is part one of a two part series inspired by ViDEOGiRL on YouTube . In part 2 (coming next week) we will do a deep dive on the marketing of Brat, and why this was one of the most impressive album rollouts in recent memory. And thank you all SOO much for your patience. I took a 2 week break as I went home to go visit my family, but I am ECSTATIC to be back. You all were beyond kind about the Chappell Roan video and I can't wait to continue uploading weekly

Hiii! WELCOME to my first ever video on my solo channel! It seriously means so much to me to see any of y'all follow me here from IG & TT. When thinking of my first video there was only one name that popped to mind-- Chappel Roan. In just 4 month, this girl went from barely cracking 1m monthly listeners, to the fastest growing popstar in the world. Performing coachella, outselling festival headliners, and even getting her album to Billboard's Global Top 10. Her story is such a beautiful example of a slow rise to success. Sometimes, the universe has some sort of greater plan out there for you. It is preparing you for your moment even when you don't know what that moment is yet. This is exactly what happened with Chappell in 2020 and now you see how everything is coming together the way it was always meant to ❤️ Go Sub to the YT Channel:
