StrawberryBlond 14,768 Posted November 5, 2016 Author Share Posted November 5, 2016 Some really good answers here, folks! I forgot about Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up, Hard Candy and Yeezus. That reminds me, I'll add in Sheezus by Lily Allen too. She actually thought a spoof of a bad album title made it better! It got worse! A lot of you are focusing on boring/bland/lazy titles, though. I'm really taking about bad titles. People buy albums with boring titles all the time. But bad titles, rarely. 20 hours ago, VANTABLACK said: Lady wood is an iconic album title , ur just mad Gaga didn't come up with it It sounds ridiculous and too raunchy. I know I wouldn't want to buy such a title in a shop or tell somebody that was my favourite album. It would make people think you listened to lesbian p0rn in music from. And can you imagine if a really naive person asked you what it meant? I don't know how her record label let her name the album such a thing (and allowed her to do that cover either). A non-offensive title and cover is marketing 101. 19 hours ago, ZacharyMark said: I thought B'Day was successful. And I don't get the pronunciation. I said it was one of the few that was. But my point it is, it sounds like 'bidet.' Do you know what a bidet is? It's one of those little bathroom fixtures that looks like a mini toilet bowl. You hunch over it and splash up the water in it to wash your private regions. They're not very big worldwide but massively popular in Europe, you find one in most rented places there. The funny thing is, when b'day started to come into use as a shorthand for 'birthday,' every adult or European laughed themselves silly but kids and teens without the knowledge adopted it, unaware of what its pronounciation really meant. How did no one in Beyonce's inner circle point this out? A lot of people say that Beyonce isn't the smartest. And I think the fact she didn't notice what this title sounded like is proof of that. 18 hours ago, Possibly Maybe said: Where did you hear this? Is it a joke? It's supposed to be an abbreviation of birthday. I am aware of that, but read what I said above. 18 hours ago, koonsisme said: Idk why people hate on the title Lady Wood. Pretty sure it's tongue-in-cheek. See what I said in the first quote. It doesn't matter if it's tongue in cheek or not. It's sounds too ridiculous and raunchy to sell. This thread is about titles that don't sound good to casual listeners, making them unlikely to buy it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, so it's French. I was pronouncing it wrong. That makes sense. And we need those toilets here in the USA.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sounds too ridiculous and raunchy to sell. This thread is about titles that don't sound good to casual listeners, making them unlikely to buy it. To each their own. I see it being sold in major retailers like Target so... You make this big stink about this thread not being about boring or bland titles, about how this is about bad names, then go on about how it's to ridiculous to sell or market when the album has been promoted through huge billboard ads, is available in retailers, and sold around the same first week numbers as its predecessor. If it's about bad names, first...can't that include boring titles...and if not, secondly...why can it include marketability? Seems like a double standard. And it's too raunchy? Well, I think that's the point. Have you listened to the album? Heard her speak? It's all about sex and sexual relationships. It's objective though, so I can understand why people think it's bad. I just think your points were for the most part either inconsistent, incorrect, or irrelevant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
