Very talented girl.
Her debut album Unfold sold an unimpressive 18,000 units in it's debut week. That's not terrible, in the event that promotions for the album stayed in the low five figures, and no one was hoping to get rich or anything.
Here's the thing, Marie is a Youtube starlet. She has almost 200,000 subscribers to her channel, and therefore, has value. She has a venue for advertisers, and she can pull a hundreds of thousands of views on any given video.
Just don't confuse her with Rihanna or anything. She's not going to take the Billboard 200 by storm.
The new emerging music industry needs acts like Marie, and she is not to be overlooked; however, those A&R people who keep looking to her for a Hot 100 hit need to look elsewhere.
By the way, I know of a certain Youtube star who has over 1.3 million subscribers, and is said to be pulling in $40,000 a month for their channel.
Take that for what it's worth. =)
