BibleThisWay 4,370 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Someone started a thread recently about what people's favourite songs are from Gaga's remix EPs that she's released for each single (excluding Joanne's ). It got me thinking what's the actual reasoning behind them? Most pop artists release them a few weeks or so after a single comes out and I was just wondering why? It doesn't seem to give the songs any immediate sales boosts (e.g. iTunes), do they count towards the total sales/streams for the song? If anyone with good chart knowledge could explain that'd be great Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo 7,780 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I find most remixes to be really bad, why they'd want an EP who knows. Plus WHO is buying them? Don't visit my profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pluto 776 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 They don't happen as often nowadays, it was more a thing when CD singles were more popular I think. anybody knows you can conjure anything by the dark of the moon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doot 2 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Because they are ****ing awesome. And it's also an exceptional way to promote your music, as most clubs are going to be more likely to play a remix of a song, instead of the actual song. You go into any gay bar in Chicago and request Gaga, they will play a remix. Even the bars that play music without taking requests. They play the remixes. Again, it was a phenomenal way to promote your music. Her remix EP's back when she used to release them for each single (still pissed she stopped this) were absolute FIRE. The Skrillex remix of Bad Romance damn near rivaled the original song. Please start doing that again, Gagz. For me, plz. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctherainbow 3,162 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Because it's cool to a lot of people to hear their favorite songs reworked in different ways. Some of Gaga's remixes have been AMAZING. I'm talkin' 'bout forever, baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
