SO many people here don't know what they're talking about
First of all, the label itself doesn't promote the artists. That's the job of the managar, the agent (they're the ones that book live performances), publicists, etc.

Second of all, Lady Gaga cannot just "leave" her label, EVEN after the contract expires. We don't know what type of contract it is, if it's term-based or album-based, and how many years/albums she has to saty for/deliver. Even after she has delivered the amount of albums she has to, or been in the contract for as long as she has to, the label can still choose to exercise one of their options, which means that they can extend her contract, even against her will.

Thridly, whoever is saying she should go indie don't know what they're talking about. besided, if she DID go independent, which is highly unlikely, she would still be funded by, distributed by, and everything would run through a major label. Most independant labels are actually not independant at all. They're under major labels such as def jam, interscope, rca, ect. which AGAIN is under major distributors, which today are only three; Universal, Sony and Warner. Same goes for making a label of her own. Those are called vanity labels and are still under other majors.

 

So many people here think they have it all figured out, because they know Lady Gaga is signed to interscope and her album didn't do as well as Katy Perry's, who is signed to Capitol, and then they figure that's all it takes, that that's the reason ARTPOP didn't do well, and if Lady Gaga's next album doesn't do well, it's the chairman of Interscope's fault and she has to leave and go to a different label. It doesn't work like that. She can't just leave. she signed a legal contract. Besides, her team, consisting of her manager, business manager, agent,  attorney, publicist are the ones that get promo slots, get the deals, book the shows, pull the ropes, etc. NOT the CEO or the people working at the Record Label.

​basically this
