HDD: Changes for Apple Music&Perfect Illusion because of the end of exclus?

[ViviLittleM 3]

Is what happened last week between Frank Ocean, UMG and Apple game-changing? It certainly was for Universal, in that it triggered Lucian Grainge’s mandating an end to all exclusives—notably including a deal that had been in place between Apple, Lady Gaga and Interscope. How will this chain of events impact the relationship between Universal and Apple, which in effect provided Ocean with a backup plan in his ejection from the major-label system? How will the artist’s newfound autonomy play out in terms of his career moving forward? How will the missing parts of a complete worldwide strategic rollout fall into place to help build a bigger global brand for the artist? Will the tens of millions of Spotify users around the world eventually get access to the music? Who will be responsible for trying to get radio airplay, which continues to be the single most effective means of breaking records and triggering artists’ careers? The above elements will be crucial in building the all-important monetization of the brand for the artist. Are Ocean and his team looking to make a deal with another distributor or major to pick up the missing pieces of a worldwide plan?

If this ruins their promo plans I'll have to kill someone  

[Saint Laurent 4,862]

So PI was going to be an AM exclusive, but now it can't be?

How is that going to affect the timetable and success?

can someone explain me? 

i dont know anything about there streaming services

Honestly. Stop. All this is about is  money, and corporations.  It's sad we have consider all this promo bullshit now days .what bout good music being the best promo . Letting an Artist be themselves completely and not caring who's gonna like them or buy their music . All the legends don't have to do that . But now it's becoming a pissing match . A duel, who will get this deal ,who will sell the most , streaming or no streaming 

 I don't think Gaga gives a crap about all that **** anymore. Watch all her recent interviews this and past year . We are looking too much into it . I feel like lg5 promotion will be organic and simple and the music will speak for itself . she's going to take the traditional Rockstar route 🤘🏽

realease it all in one single Punch to everyone. No exclusive . She's gonna Just GIVE.

If this is a bad thing...  

This is what happens when you give monsters just one tiny glimpse of concrete hope

She still needs to make money from her work

Glad it won't be an Apple Music exclusive release; look at how the lack of Spotify support hurt Katy with Rise.

UMG banned their artists from accepting offers to give their albums exclusively to streaming services, so Gaga cannot do Apple Music, Spotify or Tidal exclusives

[Jester 6,306]

We just got the confirmation that they were planning something big with Apple Music.  

Whyyyy do things always go in the wrong direction when Gaga is involved 

[Miracle 14,068]

In before the album gets released in Sept

It is for the consumer, artists might not like it because they got very large payments for the exclusives
