Madison Beer doesn't judge herself by chart success.
The 26-year-old singer saw Bittersweet, her 2025 single, become her first song to reach the US Hot 100 chart - but Madison doesn't define herself by chart rankings or awards.
She told the Observer newspaper: "I’m obviously super excited and thankful whenever a song performs well, but I think I’m at the point where I love what I make, and I’m proud of it regardless. Only took me like, 15 years! But it’s cool."
Madison insists she's comfortable with her relative lack of chart success.
The brunette beauty actually considers her music career to be a success, despite her lack of accolades.
She explained: "It was definitely hard for years to detach from that ideology, but I feel so much better off now that that’s not something I drive myself crazy over.
"I don’t want to diss myself here, but I haven’t had No 1s, I haven’t had gigantic songs – actually, that’s not true, I think I have had gigantic songs, but [not] to people’s criteria. I’m like: if I can still sell out a tour and perform for crowds and enjoy it, then clearly I’m OK."
Meanwhile, Madison previously insisted that she refuses to see other pop stars as "competition".
The singer has been "conditioned" to assume that other women in the industry look at each other as competition - but Madison doesn't see things that way.
She told People: "I've always felt like that's so f****** weird, and I hate that.
"I've never looked at other girls, really, as competition.
"There have, unfortunately, been people l've met that I've loved that I've been like, 'Oh, f***, I don't have your support because you might look at me and not want me to win because something in your head thinks that if I win, you lose,' and that's just not how I am."
