Antichrist 9,818 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Pretty sure she's put all of her 'carreer fear' in her past 'projects', aswell. This is all just becoming boring. Every album anyone releases is about putting his personal experiences, fear, LIGHT, PRISM, ARTPOP in the album. Stop. Try hard is immense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 after parting ways professionally with her father-manager, Mathew Knowles. "I felt like I wanted follow in the footsteps of Madonna and be a powerhouse and have my own empire," she said to cheers from the crowd. "And (to) show other women when you get to this point in your career, you don't have to go sign with someone else and share your money and your success, you can do it yourself." So she marries a guy who is richer and a bigger entertainment mogel than herself. How many people with $300 million could actually gain from their partner in a divorce?

Wet Fire 6,714 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 So...which to pop girls will be kissed by Bey? Gaga and...? :derpga: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 That's good. I don't want iTunes turning into a steaming pile of monopolistic garbage. I agree with this. They may lose a bit on Beyonce but will gain long term if they deter this sales tactic. Make it clear - if you try this and it doesn't do great on itunes, you're screwed.

craig 680 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 More Gimmick Than Game Changer http://bostonherald.com/entertainment/music/music_news/2013/12/beyonces_surprise_release_more_gimmick_than_game_changer A few of my colleagues have labeled the move a game changer. I call it a gimmick. Possibly a savvy, successful gimmick  but I doubt it. With major labels scrambling to figure out how to stop losing money year after year and artists increasingly wresting control, “game-changing†moves come and go a couple of times a year. Here are a few you may remember: Radiohead’s pay-what-you-want approach, Prince giving away copies of albums with concert tickets, the Eagles’ Wal-Mart exclusives, Lady Gaga’s 99-cent, one-day “Born This Way†sale on Amazon, and Jay-Z’s partnership with Samsung. Most of these were hailed as the new industry model; few have been repeated. I have no doubt this self-titled album and collection of videos will make Beyonce, who stops at the TD Garden on Friday, a bundle of dough. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn a million people purchased “Beyonce†yesterday. But she could have reached 100 million with a traditional album rollout  and in a world where concert tickets trump albums sales, exposure is all important. An exclusive, even a limited one  “Beyonce†is expected to go on sale at other retailers within weeks holds back exposure. If the music was on Spotify, every track would leapfrog Pitbull’s “Timber†to cluster at the top. If the videos were on YouTube, nobody would have done any work yesterday. Next year these fans won’t care about the album. And because Beyonce didn’t build buzz with an early single, there’s not a No. 1 smash to remind them to care. Surprise Marketing Gimmick or Game Changer? http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2013/12/18/beyonces-new-album-surprise-marketing-gimmick-or-t.aspx#.UrbnUltDt8E In an interview with NPR, Jason King, a professor at the NYU Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music, explained that this example of “anti-marketing †is “very much in line with what's happening right now in marketing, which is this idea of marketing without marketing, or anti-marketing, where you appear to be just delivering your product directly to the consumer… like a direct gift.†As it turns out, not even Rob Stringer, the chief of Columbia Records -- which has signed Beyonce -- knew about plans for a secret album. Just days earlier, Stringer had been quoted by Hits Daily Double as not expecting her next album until 2014. Anti-marketing has clearly paid off for Beyonce, but one wonders how the album would have performed without this extreme kind of non-publicizing. In 2011, her last album, “4†only sold 310,000 copies within the first week, a sharp drop from the 482,000 sold of the previous album, 2008’s “I Am… Sasha Fierce.†After the dust settles on Beyonce’s latest selling mania, she might have to work even harder to come up with an inventive promotional strategy (or pointed lack thereof), just to keep up that momentum.

JEANBO 364 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I'm afraid that Beyonce will have amazing first and eventualy second week sales and then the album will just die. There's just no "after hype" left, you know: hyping singles, videos, etc, you got everything at once. It's like fast food. No longevity. But, time will tell. Also, this can't be a game changer: Not many people would be willing to buy eg: Katy's, Miley's or to some measure Gaga's album just like that, out of nowhere.

Illuminati Freak 2,432 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It's not about a smash number 1 single anymore though. I think Bey is way past that point in her career it's about putting out a solid quality record as a whole. And I don't agree that she could have sold just under a million in a week. It's possible but with the climate of lower album sales all year for female artists she could have underperformed with a traditional promotional campaign. I still say it's a game changer for the pop music world anyways and hope the model is repeated because Beyonce kept everyone guessing all year long and it kept the fans salivating wanting new music so badly look how amazing it paid off. Let the product speak for itself and as a Beyonce fan since the beginning I think she delivered an A+ album and the word on the street about that is what is keeping those sales up.
