It's different from adding a successful feature to the album in the middle of release week (in addition to doing tour & merch bundles). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A discount is kinda desperate. A discount, free tidal downloads (to secure a certification), tour bundles, merch bundles and adding feature a song to increase streams is by far the most desperate opening week we’ve literally ever seen by an artist to go #1. And she still most likely didn’t get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By that logic I’m also a Gaga hater because I said discounts are desperate? As someone who enjoys tracking chart data, yes, I am very interested in what artists do to try and maximise sales first week. And I’m sorry, but your fave really went low this time and still missed.

Hell, she scrapped single plans at least twice because she wanted to chart better. This is just the business, and it’s clear that people here have a personal issue with Nicki as opposed to the practice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
