BloodyJudas 2,758 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Many of my friends that I have made on this site realize I am quite a fan of Katy Perry and I've always enjoyed her music and persona. Nevertheless, I have been the biggest fan of Gaga ever since 2010 and I am so grateful to have been part of the Monster community. But I need to confess that it bugs me a great deal witnessing how unfairly radio stations and streaming services have been treating Gaga in comparison with Katy. The very first example is Perfect Illusion which sold around 100 k (digital copies) in the first sales week,which is terrific and not many pop stars acomplished that in 2016. Despite the potential the single had , radio stations dropped the single simply paying dust to Gaga. Now "Chained To The Rhythm" is not doing well (underperforming) on Itunes and it has not even topped the aforementioned list, yet radio stations seem to be spinning her latest track like crazy. According to Daily US Radio Updates "Chained To The Rhythm" has already garnered 2059 spins having attracted 18.831 people, whereas Million Reason(the song that has topped the Itunes chart several times) has been out for many weeks and so far it's received 2197 spins and the audience of 8.144. Just saying it is devastating to see how unfairly it looks and I am not trying to pit two women against each other. I wish to point how biased and manipulated radio stations and streaming services are in a way. Katy is not doing that well at all (the same happened with Rise in summer, Birthday and This Is How We Do), but radio stations are licking her boots no matter what. Million Reasons is loved by a massive group of people ,yet they don't plan to give Gaga a chance. Thank you Gaga for staying true to yourself and your art!!! I am in awe of your prudence, determination and perseverance. You are already a legend to me and many people out there. Keep on slaying!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe overexposing Gaga on the radio till people puke when they listen to her isn't a part of Bobby's plan If you see me posting like crazy, I'm either bored or procrastinating.

Ashley 9,518 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I always thought payola wasn't real. If it is then why don't more artists use it, including Gaga? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
