The latest Doja Cat’s album, Scarlett, really brought Doja Cat to the highest level of status with new standards of breaking records since her album set record-breaking standards for the label, RCA. Its 2023 release catapulted Scarlett to places high in the charts with strong performances, securely placing Doja Cat at some impressive leading position in the industry. The album sealed the position of Doja Cat within pop and rap royalty with bold experimentation, razor-sharp lyrics, and a genre-bending sound while breaking multiple records for RCA, confirming her status as one of the most influential artists today.
Scarlet went straight to cop up the top position on several charts across the globe and broke streaming records during its first week. Lead singles “Attention” and “Paint The Town Red” reveal Doja Cat’s plains, honest touch in rap, alternative beats, and avant-garde production. The critics as well as fans flooded the site instantly in rejoicing the album due to gut-wrenching words with deep introspection and innovative sound. The album elicited millions of streams on most platforms within the opening week. In total, it broke RCA’s record for the highest first-week album streams by a female artist.
With Scarlet, another such landmark by Doja Cat, RCA is well set to ride the ever-changing music landscape and mark its milestone. The album is among the most significant commercial successes that the label has seen in years and broke prior marks held by legends in the music world. It has thus far earned high streaming numbers, healthy album sales, and a single straight to number one.
But what makes the Scarlet so bold is that, after all this pop-infused innocent playfulness, Doja Cat broke into Planet Her, a deeper, more reflective album. Tracks like “Demons” and “Agora Hills” picture a look into her head as she fights with fame, with identity, and with self-perception. This has played out well because the fans have enjoyed the walk between that access and depth, something that translation plays very well on a global level.
Scarlet is the epitome of Doja Cat’s growth creatively to a new level, constantly pushing musical boundaries and always playing bold, inventively original in the expression of that artistic vision-testament to her influence. The latter, as according to RCA, “marks a great achievement, bringing to the table the fulfilment of what a label striving to push genre-bending acts in the music landscape should do.” For Doja Cat, *Scarlet* marks one of her revolutionising moves as well as a record-breaking moment in the history of a storied institution like RCA.
