Werk 13,165 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I know some of y'all are gonna bring up Katy and be like how Gaga never would use it but I'm being serious. Has Gaga or mostly Interscopes ever used payola in the past whether that means during TF/TFM/BTW? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I think most of the payola happened when Troy was her manager. BTW lead single was heavily payola'ed on radio first week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when an artist or its record label pay the radio stations for them to play their songs. It is an illegal practice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in my area, BTW was played a pretty hefty amount, but not as much as TEOG. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FameHookah 4,572 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Maybe troy did, Gaga i dont think so, her youtube views and radio spins are organic as far as i can tell. WTF is MDNA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloody g 31,731 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Million Reasons on radio and TC on Spotify, but not as much as artists like Alessia Cara or Selena 『𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐝』 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
