Yeah but what about people (nonfans)  who would have bought the album had it not leaked?tumblr_lzj4r82E891qevzsm.gif

They wouldnt buy it but stream it, and that brings very low sales, so...

I personally buy all her albums regardless if they leak or not. It doesn't matter if it leaked or not if people don't want to buy it they'd just wait until after it comes out officially and the links/torrents are available.

Miracle

Because I don't really care that much about sales + the final wait is the worst + leaks don't lower sales nowadays, this isn't 1999 and the album isn't leaking 1 month in advance.

I know but some of those people are also those that complain about sales flopping the loudest. So which is it really?

Because we want to hear the music as soon as possible, duh. Doesn't prevent me from buying my copy once it's out.

It does if you didn't like the record

Bish, 

 

I buy the Vinyl copy, the digital copy, the Hi-Res copy, AND the CD copy. So by god if it leaks, IM LISTENING.

Born Brave

1989 leaked... and it like blew everyone out of the water so leaks literally do not hurt a damn thing. 

 

The only people that download leaks are the die-hards anyway.

Someone listening to an album as soon as it leaks is NOT a non-fan :laughga: Most non-fans won't even know about a record until it reaches the stores, let's be honest.

Taylor has a different fan base! Adults and teens buy her records. I don't know anyone over 30 buying lady Gaga records...

If people are gonna buy it, they will anyway. If it leaks earlier it wouldn't affect sales.

I will listen if it leaks :poot:

I didn't ask for a free ride, I only asked you to show me a real good time.

T Swift was always a force in selling albums though. And 1989 is her true first crossover to pop. The GP kept the album going.

Gaga is releasing a risky record coming from ARTPOP and PI. What few people waiting for her album who might buy the album could hear the leaks and say goodbye.

The same way people illegally download records and don't buy them of they don't like them. Leak or not, if people want to illegally download something, they will.

Because they're desperate to listen to it. The wait has not been that long to be THAT desperate actually. You should've seen how hard it was to read on New Years' Eve that Born This Way was coming out in 6 months. We were are like WTF.
