Can anyone explain this? If I could have it my way they'd both be smashing the hell out of the charts, but one out of two is better than none

I obviously LOVE both Tove and Charli, but out of the two, I think Tove Lo has more radio-friendly songs, so to speak. If you look at it this way, they're both "indie-pop" in a sense but "Habits" and "Talking Body" are both extremely radio friendly pop songs, while "Break The Rules" and "Doing It" are a bit different for radio. Nonetheless, there's no definite answer tbh. I would like to think that "Boom Clap" would've still been a hit if it weren't for the movie, but idk. But, also I do think that Charli can still have another smash hit in the future.
Same thing with Tove Lo, I still have a lot of hope for "Talking Body." It's #65 on the Hot 100 when it's in the 50's on iTunes, 18M AI on radio & in the 40's on Spotify. If it means anything, I say that this song has a huge chance of doing well. Plus, Tove isn't a household name, it may take a bit for her second hit to catch on to radio. I mean "Habits" took a year, and "Heroes" took a bit to warm up too.
