HolyDelRey 21,101 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I've seen a lot of threads saying that Gaga should have promoted Perfect Illusion, but in fact promotion/performance doesn't mean a thing in 2016 when you compare her to some of the biggest pop stars in the world. For example Britney Spears - Make Me Ooh (Lead Single) Performances. 1. VMAs (6 million audition) 2. iHeart Radio Festival 3. Ellen Show 4. Jonathan Ross Performance 5. Today Show 6. Las Vegas Show. CURRENT VIEWS ON VEVO - 39,688,740 views NOTE - Perfect Illusion about to outview Make Me Ooh & Hold Up (which was performed also at the VMAs on VEVO MAKE ME OOH - Audio on VEVO 23,175,249 views PERFECT ILLUSION - NO PROMOTION / PERFORMANCES. MUSIC VIDEO - 39,526,220 views PERFECT ILLUSION - AUDIO. - 21,748,981 views The only prisons that exist are ones we put each other in.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Promo OBVIOUSLY matters. Make Me would have done a lot worse in sales and views without the promo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambino 24,266 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Maybe this is what Britney's song could do with all the promo? And maybe Gaga's song could've done a lot better and become a smash hit if she promoted it. I don't see anything wrong with promo. It definitely matters.

MelbHawker 6,583 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Promotion influences sales figures and people's perception of a product. It actually can make all the difference if it's done correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrohemg 7,802 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Without promo A-YO wouldn't be on top 20. People need to know your songs exist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlaeUrAnus 15,955 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 This doesn't make sense. We're not in 2010 anymore. Not many people apart from Gaga fans know what she is doing as opposed to when everyone use to track her every move. Without promo, this era will be a commercial failure... Promotion is a fundamental element of how a celebrity markets their image and music. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 116,224 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Promo matters for the album and not for the singles.. What's the point of working so hard to release an album when most of the people in the world doesn't know many songs in it and knows only the singles? So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboymonsterx 540 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I agree that promo does matter. Of course it depends on the song quality too.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PI is the perfect example, it was not a smash hit, she performed only the promo singles, no videos and no radio and look how well the album is doing.. Singles became just another reason to release a new video for the fans and a views achievement..

John Wayne 4,490 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 It didn't work for Britney bc people knew what they could expect (robotic movement and 0 vocals), while with Gaga you can't exactly guess what she's going to do. So, promo in Gaga's case means a lot, if the GP does like the performance they'll buy/stream. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhettoFabulous 18,501 Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Now since it's about to outview Hold up and make me. It shows that we if there was promo PI could've probably been already certified by now so promo does count.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
