Is We Run the Night Havana Brown's first single? If it is, it's really good for a first single. Yeah it might be generic, and tacked on with Pitbull's terrible raps, but so was Just Dance (Colby O'Donis ) Interested to hear more for her

[craig 680]

Boo Payphone can go away now

The worst song in the Top 10. Be grateful Gotye and Carly saved us from 10 weeks of it at #1.

[00000000 1]

Taylor Swift

:wtf:

[Americano 31,061]

Is Rihanna really gonna do another single from her album or is cockiness just being random?

Edited June 22, 2012 by Americano

[Americano 31,061]

This isn't likely, but Gaga should release her album in October and bundle it with US tour tickets. They'd be going on sale around then and she'd have time off.

please no!!!!! no ticket bundles. they slammed Madonna for this, and I don't want them saying, "Gaga again with her cheap sale inflations" I would be so mad if they did that!!! And I thought you were against this initially??

These AI numbers are always way higher than the Nielson Soundscan numbers. I'm pretty sure the AI numbers we're aware of for Gaga's songs weren't inflated like this.

This isn't likely, but Gaga should release her album in October and bundle it with US tour tickets. They'd be going on sale around then and she'd have time off.

I'm all for this.

Gaga's AI numbers weren't inflated, nope. If we were to compare those, we'd need to bump Gaga's AI up considerably.

And it's actually a possibility, because Madonna did the whole tickets + album and she's signed to Interscope. Also, Madonna launched a fragrance and tour this year. Sound familiar?

They may be marketing them in the same way.

Yep, I remember that very clearly! October I would still consider the holiday shopping time, so she would even still get a good boost in sales from that alone. Holiday sales combined with the album/ticket bundle and BAM! Would be a pretty high debut sales week :)

She heads to Europe in November, so it'd be hard to launch the album then. That's the biggest shopping month, you don't wanna miss out on that if you're gonna go for a 4Q release. It'd be better to have it out prior.

That'd mean an August or September single.

UK music sales are even more holiday season loaded than in US.

Europe is the market she most needs to win over this era, after ignoring it for BTW single promo and then pandering to US tastes with You and I. Zedd should help with this.
