"Last I checked, the album was #82 out of the top 200 on the Billboard charts thanks to you all. I pray that keeps moving up and with your help it will"
About this Quote
The gratitude is real, but it is also strategic. "Thanks to you all" shifts the achievement away from industry gatekeepers and toward the fanbase as an active force. That is the key subtext: your listening is labor. Your purchases, streams, shares, and playlist adds are framed as collective action, not passive consumption. London is inviting fans to see themselves as a team with a scoreboard.
Then she brings in prayer, which does two things at once. It softens the naked ambition of wanting higher placement, and it taps into a community-minded register familiar in pop and R&B: success as blessing, hustle as faith. The closing clause - "and with your help it will" - is a subtle call to arms disguised as optimism. It's not begging; it's momentum management, turning a modest chart debut into a narrative of ascent. In that sense, the quote captures a modern musician's tightrope: sincerity and promotion braided together, because today the audience doesn't just witness the climb - they power it.
