[KURUSHITOVSKA 20,451]

Meh. 

[arca 213]

I can't at Bart Baker having more subscribers than Gaga 

[eifulien 2,977]

Turns out views are directly proportional to basicness, huh? No wonder then that Gaga is at the bottom. 

Spoiler

I still love Rih, though. No shade!

Gaga has a plan to make everyone have no other solution but to watch her video on youtube. Bookmark this, sistren

Gaga didn't break her hip for this mess on pop music. 

[CakeLikeLG 6,275]

Good for them. They should celebrate cause LG5 aPOPcalypse is coming

Well-deserved. I contributed to both especially Rihanna. She has done almost every video concept and then some it's like what are they both going to do next.

It's no wonder record labels prefer to sign the youngest possible artists they can - having the majority of your fans be young people is a great plus when it comes to sales, subscribers and video views. The young have the time to be online, aware of all the latest music and singles and watch videos all day long. You'll notice that the older the artist, the lower the sales and views. But it's certainly no indication of how good your work is. Vevo views are so easy to get now because it's the #1 way people watch videos and as the population grows every year, views are going to get even higher as time goes on. Nowadays, songs that aren't even hits have millions of views. It's wild to think Bad Romance used to be the most watched video on YouTube, and the most amount of likes too, probably. I believe it was because of that video that Vevo decided to introduce the 100 million views certified award. Nowadays, they'd be better off introducing a 1 billion certified award seeing as it's becoming more common. To think, if only Gaga's views got translated into today's viewing scale...

But at the end of the day, it could be worse. Gaga started her career when Vevo had just started out and she got a channel accordingly. Some artists started out with their videos on an official channel for their record label and they've never been transferred or have only been transferred recently, so they'll never be Vevo certified or will take longer to. Katy Perry's videos before Firework aren't on her Vevo channel - they're on the channel, emimusic and CapitolMusic. They even contain a "Pre-Vevo play count" in the video's description but I don't know what'll happen if they ever do reach 100 million. And Madonna...she got her channel, simply called "madonna," in 2008, back when celebrities were just starting to get official channels (remember when the site was just full of civilian content creators?), where she uploaded her new videos as well as her old ones, but she made the mistake of signing up under her name, not madonnavevo. She didn't get a Vevo account for another 4 years and there must have been some sort of rule stating that she can't upload content that she's already uploaded to another channel. As such, she's only got videos from MDNA until now, and they've certainly struggled to get views. If any of her old songs get the 100 million mark, they'll be on another channel. Imagine if all her heaps of videos got put on Vevo and figures were generated to resemble how popular those videos were back in the day?

Bad Romance ha impact 

It pains me to think that truly amazing video used to be #1, and now it's not even in the top 30, whereas basic sh-t like Lean On or Roar can easily rack up 1 billion views.
