Floris Somers 62 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Maybe this was 'The Apple deal' everyone was talking about. But if she was going to perform she had to make it an exclusive, but the label didnt want that so instead they asked Sia okay I'm feeling a genius over here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, I can'y deny that, but Rihanna's singles don't seem hurt by exclusivity or free albums either. I think an exclusivity deal wouldn't hurt Gaga as much as people are saying. She is still very popular.

It isn't one way or the other and people have obviously done well with both methods. Plus Spotify as of late are only now cracking down harder on artists who choose to be exclusive with other services... I.e. I heard they have decided to not include Katy's Rise as part of playlists due to her deal with Apple, which could be a factor towards her underperformance - playlists are very popular and good promotion.

I didn't know that. Good point. I also think they chose not to include Rise for the same reason radio dropped the song quickly, it's just not a good song. Ariana and Rihanna both had Apple and TIDAL exclusives and they are the #1 and #2 female artists on Spotify. Hopefully Spotify wouldn't resort to such a stupid move and would instead offer its own exclusivity deals. TBH I think those rumors about Rise are just pressed Katy stans trying to make excuses.

Idk there was some industry insider news (from HDD I think?) that said Spotify are getting pissed with it all and would start to "punish" artists in that way. Whether the Katy fans just linked that to Rise's performance without receipts, I don't know. But it's certainly possible for them to do it to any artist, whatever the case may be.

I think Gaga already is going to have a tough time with Spotify, Troy is Spotify's global head of creator services.

Infinity Wave 7,634 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Sia wasn't bad at all, how y'all can say that? She sanged TG for the first time and it was quite perfect as the Chandelier performance. Her voice maybe was a little bit too "broken" sometimes but that's what I like of her voice Colourful Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
