What artists can have success with just their stanbase behind them?

Arcade Fire - gold with no radio support

No one

none?

True, but they have huge support from try-hard wannabe-deep hipsters all over Tumblr which def. counts as the GP.

Anyway, nobody.

Yes but they were on every tv show and magazine, that made the GP buy Reflektor
Not sure if the OP means radio by GP

if the GP doesn't purchases your music, how can you still succeed without them? with extreme payola?

I don't understand the question

EDIT: Oh i get it now, fans will probably take the song to #1 for a few days but it will have no longevity if the GP is not here for it :/

Pitbull, since the Gp is only here for the featured artists. #loopholes

They don't seem to have a rabid stan base behind them. That's a part of the GP.

It's impossible.

What??
Their #1 albums, sold out tours and festival headlining slots beg to differ

metal bands?

Ok then i guess i'll say what everyone else is saying and say it is impossible I just assumed he meant like radio

none

Bieber only has his stans

only if they go indie. they also won't be able to use/afford payola.

Ok, it makes sense now. And Pitbull was the perfect answer.

No support from GP = No album sells = No success.

Therefore, no one.

Stans buy albums, don't they?

Stans are just really massive fans of a particular artist or artists, and they're a subdivision of the GP.

But even with that logic, one fanbase won't be enough to make a song genuinely successful aside from front loaded sales, which means the answer is still none.
