Elizabeth 450 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 It's definitely a marketing tool, but there's nothing wrong with it. There's a tight three-way race right now for who's gonna get #1, so they're just utilising what they can to the best of their ability. However, it's not completely random, those who are tweeting about it are generally people who would be nice towards Gaga anyway. It's not as though she's paying Wendy Williams to promo it or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelduuh 491 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 I beleive if they wanted that #1 so badly they would've bought the spot already. In which case they want it to look believable, so they ask a few celebs to tweet about it. Because if their actual marketing strategy was to pay a bunch of celebs to promote the album that would be VERY strange Well maybe the don't get paid, but I don't think they are genuine tweeting about the album. IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
degenerate 526 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 She won't. Except for the drama queens at ATRL and the wimpy fans here who are worried to death that she will get backlash at a place as insignificant as that cesspool. In the real world, outside of cray Diva land, no one is going to care. Really? What about all the outlets that wrote about ARTPOP under-performing etc. Yahoo music talking about ARTFLOP isn't a cray Diva land. But drag pop forums & their users three times in one sentence, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Well maybe the don't get paid, but I don't think they are genuine tweeting about the album. IMO. I follow other artists, both in the past and in the present, and see this kind of thing all the time. I can't believe people here don't know that this happens. Do they only follow Gaga?

Whispering 18,865 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Really? What about all the outlets that wrote about ARTPOP under-performing etc. Yahoo music talking about ARTFLOP isn't a cray Diva land. That was a major release album from a pop star who had sold over a million copies the first week with her previous major release album. Of course media sources were going to point out that kind of drop. This is a jazz album. If they want to drag her, they are going to find a way to drag her, number one or not. What do you think they are going to say? Britney and Brian May (who she has worked with and who she just sang with on stage) and some Greyson guy (who is also a super fan) tweeted about the album so that made it sell thousands upon thousands of more copies? As I said before, Chesney's country buddies are doing the same thing! Don't worry so much about what other people say on websites. Most of them are haters and trolls anyway. They aren't ever going to be positive about Gaga, no matter what she does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe people here don't know that this happens. Do they only follow Gaga? I'm aware other people do this, but do they also include the link? And the reason I am skeptical is because of its timing (days after the release), the link to itunes, and the fact that they've never tweeted about a Gaga album before Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break the Ice 0 Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 It's not genuine or authentic at all. Strictly business. Three celebrities have tweeted some generic review type tweet about it & then added the link... Why would they add a link to it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
migamiga 12,102 Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Who has tweeted about it? Selena, Britney, Brian May, Zedd, Andy Cohen, Univision haha It's not genuine or authentic at all. Strictly business. Three celebrities have tweeted some generic review type tweet about it & then added the link... Why would they add a link to it? That's exactly what I'm saying!!! But some people here still don't get that I find that fishy. It's weird... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come right out and say, "Go buy it now"! They are all people who have worked with Gaga or that Gaga has recently seen their show and spent time with them or tweeted support to them in the past. Seriously, what does it matter? It's promo...why are fans complaining about it and picking it apart? Just enjoy it, it is supposed to be fun when your fave gets promo and attention.
