It's more of a long term thing rather than just one week revenue. I just hope if they want to encourage radio. They should keep the discount forever.. Like Issues.

I just wanted to show the simple economics of the discount to show members on here why Interscope doesn't always keep it discounted. I really hope TC's iTunes success can spur a second wind on pop radio. Then, when/if promo eventually happens, TC can hopefully repeak, ideally in the top 10.

They really should save the discount until/if some promo happens. It saves the song from falling. When the discount stops, it will fall and sell that. if they don't discount it it will keep falling they probably want exposure + same revenue another shot before we kiss the other side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRANZGA 13,920 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 it's true that no discount equals greater revenue than with the discount.. I think it's useless to discount a song if it ain't pushed harder to chart in BB top20.. cause I think the purpose of discounting is to gain points in the chart and maybe for radios to notice it.. but if that doesn't work it's just USELESS imho.

After all, if sales were on a downwards trend it might have meant that revenue was higher today than it would of been without the discount. Though haven't been following sales so idk if there's a clear trend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if the proportional increase in sales is bigger than the proportional decrease in price, in absolute terms. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is why pop radio isnt playing it tbh. Shazam seems to have a much bigger impact on what radio programmers add and play than we think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also why Despacito and I'm The One were the breakouts from the recent releases, why Say You Won't Let Go took off, etc. I don't even think TC's Shazam position is that bad tbh. But seems like it needs to be like #1 for it to get any traction. The bias against Gaga is so ridiculous at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
