This is just the business, and it’s clear that people here have a personal issue with Nicki as opposed to the practice. We’ll we obviously have 2 different opinions on this. Yes labels and artists do things in different forms but Gaga only discounted her album. It’s not hypocrical because Nicki discounted, gave away free copies, tour bundles, merch bundles and then mid week added a feature to the tracklist to increase streams. It’s a whole different level of desperation. And on top of all that, it’s now embarrassing to see her miss #1 despite all the messy tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, one can’t help but wonder if you’d say the same if Gaga/Interscope pulled the same moves. Even if she hasn’t done the VOLUME of moves Nicki’s team did this week, my point was that she’s shown a similar kind of “desperation,” as we’re calling it.

And on top of all that, it’s now embarrassing to see her miss #1 despite all the messy tactics. also when we analyze who these two artists are being compared, nicki was literally talking about how "no one can get on her level" and "put up the stats" and then she doesnt, tries desperately to, and still doesnt. she can't stand the idea of not having the stats to back up her self righteous egotistical claims. gaga, once hustled a lot and always loved those accolades, but its not what drives her. she can live without being the no.1 spot, we've seen it many times and honestly she's learned to let it roll off her cuz she is more than just a chart number....

Yes Gaga agreed to let Amazon buy her albums to promote their service 7 years ago. That is different from the lengths Nicki went to on her own. Nicki did The Most. You can deflect all you want, but Nicki pulled all the stops out with her tour bundle, merch bundle, and then when that wasn't enough, adding a feature in the middle of the week.

She went into maximum overdrive to secure her biggest artist a 2nd week at #1. A business woman Thanks for the true tea Hopefully Nicki learned a valuable lesson in release execution. I actually quite like Queen but I'm able to admit much of its contents like its release are a mess on a three day bender Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Olive 422 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Although she is desperate, I feel bad for Nicole. Poor girl should have won a #1 against a 2 weeks old album. Well, the numbers spoke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
