She may have fake fans and all but at least she actually charted
Lucia Cole who?
Two of her songs charted on Billboard's Hot Singles Sales chart, which is for physical single sales only. The problem is that physical singles are virtually non-existent. And where are her physical single sales coming from anyway when she doesn't even have any retailers carrying her physical singles? I searched so I could buy one, but couldn't find anything.

Well Priyanka Chopra stans are virtually non-existent too, I tried finding one in real life but couldn't find anything.

That's strange because Priyanka Chopra had over 10 million real followers on Twitter and regularly trends worldwide. I think you might want to brush up on the definition of "virtually non-existent."
Btw, don't be so sensitive! I know you're a Filipino like Manika (or "Asian Spanish American" like she calls herself ) and feel the sad need to defend her honor or whatever. How tacky.
Wow, good for her lol. Although honestly you'd not need many sales to make that chart, she could've bought them all herself.
True.
The last time I heard physical sales making true chart impact was when Born This Way got its 6th week at #1.

I don't stan for Manika. Hell Priyanka is more famous than she'll ever be.
I'm just teasin', thats all.
Note that Manika's last name is Ward. The owners of this company a.k.a "record label" are her parents, who also own a company called "MANIKA LLC".
Searching this "record label" only seems to bring up Manika's name.
I don't know what her parents do but they better not be expecting a return on their investment.
You just hit the jackpot.
Google her father and her grandfather's names. They're known scam artists.
Her grandfather, Wallace Ward (aka Frank R. Wallace), was convicted of tax fraud and tried to weasel out of it by saying the oath was against his religion. He had a federal court case.
And this is her father, Wallace Ward Jr. (aka Mark Hamilton).
The LA Times wrote an article exposing him.
Quote:
A group called the Society, which goes by such names as Neo-Tech, sends out a 10-page sales pitch in letter form that tries to get recipients to pay $135.50 for 'secrets' of self-leadership.
The founder of Neo-Tech, Frank R. Wallace, whose real name was Wallace Ward, was a chemist turned author who was convicted of income tax evasion in 1997. He died in 2006 at age 73.
It took some digging, but I was finally able to track down a man who goes by the pseudonym of Mark Hamilton but who is actually the son of Neo-Tech's founder. He operates out of Henderson, Nev.
Hamilton, 55, acknowledged being the current torch bearer for the Neo-Tech movement and the source of the Society letters, which he admitted are sales pitches that lead to people receiving free pamphlets that spell out Neo-Tech ideas in greater detail.
The pamphlets, in turn, are intended to draw people into spending $135.50 for a 1,200-page manuscript Hamilton wrote that he described as "faction — mixing fact with fiction." He said that, like his father, he was strongly inspired by Rand's "Atlas Shrugged."
I asked if sending people a 10-page letter purporting to be an invitation to join a super-secret organization is the most honest way of selling a book.
"This is our business model," Hamilton replied. "This is how we sell them."
I asked if he was comfortable with saying in the letter that he would "share the secrets of the Society with you … absolutely free!"
Hamilton acknowledged that full access to the Society's secrets will cost $135.50 — not to mention additional charges for other works — but he said the movement's "main secret" was included in the free pamphlet.
What is it? Hamilton said it's the secret of self-leadership. He described it as knowing how not to be a follower but to instead take the initiative and "forge your own path."
What about the letter's claim that only a "select few" are worthy of membership in the Society? Hamilton admitted that about 200,000 copies of the letter are mailed out each year, but he said recipients were carefully chosen from mailing lists obtained by his company, Neo-Tech Publishing.
For example, he said, a person who subscribes to Forbes or Fortune magazines and who also has ordered a copy of Rand's "The Fountainhead" from the Book of the Month Club — all data that Neo-Tech has access to — would be deemed a prime candidate to receive the Society's letter.
He said the Society now has "a few hundred thousand" members who convene from time to time to share their plans for fame and fortune. But even though Buffett and Redstone are mentioned prominently in the Society's letter, Hamilton said neither man is a member of the group.
"I've spent years studying these people," he said. "They very clearly know these secrets."
And that tells you everything you need to know: These aren't really secrets. They're common-sense approaches to life that people can figure out on their own.
Hamilton told me he's about to try a new strategy. He's going to give away nearly all Neo-Tech secrets for free online in hopes that people will be so impressed, they'll want to splurge on leather-bound copies.
You can call that self-leadership. Or self-delusion.
