Creyk 17,365 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Zedd used to be considered a very "hot" producer at the height of the EDM craze, and some songs he produced did really well (Break Free, Clarity) But his second album totally flopped. It peaked at no. 4. on the hot 100 and only sold 100,000 copies to date. His lead single barely went gold (sold 480,000 copies) while peaking at no 17. And let's be honest, if it wasn't for Selena Gomez being on the song, it wouldn't have done half as well. The second and third singles from his album bombed. The album also received mixed reviews. How do you feel about this? If EDM music leaves the mainstream, I don't think Zedd will retain the little level of relevancy he currently has. And then people will not want to work with him anymore. Which is a shame, because he really delivers good bops. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 95,792 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 100k and peaking at 4 is a lot more than Zedd has ever hoped for :originalsaladga: If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 59,376 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Well, at least for a while, yea. He's a DJ, so he just needs to get in front of the next Electronic craze and he's platinum again. I can't be free if my hands are tied... 🧟♀️👰🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If EDM music leaves the mainstream, I don't think Zedd will retain the little level of relevancy he currently has.That can be said about literally ANY artist working in any popular space.

Bradley 58,173 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Gaga tends to find old collaborators to work with again so I hope she gives him another shot in the future. I adore G.U.Y. and Aura and Donatella. These three songs are catchy af. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar 1,031 Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 With EDM going out of style, I don't know what's going to happen to DJ's like Calvin Harris or Zedd. I think it depends on how versatile Zedd wants to be cause someone like Guetta will probably have no trouble adapting to the changing times Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
