AbuHassan1992 766 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Things could change though. Pulling music off Spotify could become standard practice for bigger artists, or soemthing.I don't really see that happening. Unless spotify etc starts to pay artists more, artists aren't gonna make any money, and won't make music anymore and everything will go to ****, and consumers don't realize it. Only a handful of artists make money nowadays and if the tides don't turn soon it's gonna get worse. Music is valuable and shouldn't be given away from free, not because musicians should be rich and live in big houses, but because all the hard work that's behind making the music, from all the sesison players, engineers, producers, rentng studios etc. I still buy records Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artists don't need a lot, but if they want to be able to pay producers, support a family, and tour the world, they should get paid more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayum 240 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Hardly possible. If ARTPOP was her masterpiece so many fans claim it to be, it's almost impossible for her to top when she's working with generic producer RedOne. No? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister 9,907 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I do believe so, I think it will be over all a more successful time for her than with ARTPOP. The future's uncertain and the end is always near. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle 4 Ur Life 6,716 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Probably YES, cause it will surely be AWESOME and the label will put in more money to promote it.How much more? Depends on how well they promote it. “Fantastic, chic, freak, slay.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Palutena 3,147 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 We should cross that bridge when we come to it.If it does, great. Another #1 album for Gaga. Maybe a lot of videos. Good promo. If it doesn't, fans will complain about charting/sales and hopefully go make or join a forum dedicated to a more commercial musician. Adoremus in caelum, Palutena. Dea luminis.

Mills 446 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 With pure album sales down for almost everyone, it'd be extremely difficult for her to pull more than 700,000 units in the US within a year (WW numbers are different since there's no Nielsen Music equivalent in a global scale to track over-the-counter sales, and not estimations). Contrary to the notion that it's imperative to have a successful lead single in order to pull massive album sales in a long run, the success of an album actually depends more on the success of the post-album singles. If they succeed, the interest over the album would keep on even months (or year) after its release. If they fail, the interest would just die down and so will its sales. A successful lead single could only help the album gain good-to-great first weeks sales. But after that, what's next? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbuHassan1992 766 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Music not the bling, guys.you don't get it. It's a business. It's not about lady gaga's love for the music and not the money, she is signed a a record label that invests A LOT of money into her, a lot of time, a LOT of people, and they have to make money. If they don't there's not gonna be any music, no videos, no live shows, no nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock 20,290 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 All I know is that people (read: haters) are going to be watching her numbers like a f*cking hawk, so even if they're down for everybody and sells less than ARTPOP but extremely well compared to others, people are going to label it a flop.So I guess I'm hoping she does better than ARTPOP and I'm extremely confident that if she plays her cards right, she will who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emvee 8,413 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 If she does a more rock sound, she won't. I know that's what a lot of you are expecting, but let's be real. I wouldn't mind a rock album, but we're not talking about what we would like, we're talking about what will sell. The next album will depend A LOT on the pre-album singles and not only will it need to draw from what the underground is doing right now (It's gone very urban in the past two years), but she'll need to anticipate what will go mainstream and what won't.But that's if she wants the album to smash. She may very well not care about the commercial performance of the next album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
