Have you guys ever thought of the possibility that, it only feels that way because you read about Lady Gaga 12 hours a day?

For a regular member of the GP who doesn't browse 'Lady Gaga' everytime he gets online, it might not be the same case for them.

overexposure is a GP thing only. you think a fan would care about overexposure? no, it’s all we want. but we know you can lose relevance and leave with a negative outlook, and that can ruin someone’s success. do you not notice what locals say about Gaga from time to time? it’s pretty easy to see the majority feeling of an artist

Overexposure only exists when an artist gets extremely popular, or when she does exceptionally well in terms of commercial performance, and this is only achieved when your song is either great, or well promoted, basically it means people LIKE you/your music. Because why would people purchase your song if it sounds like sh*t?

Now I understand there is a minority group who might feel like she's everywhere and gets annoyed, but not everyone listens to the radio or reads about pop music all the time like Twitter stans do. There are a lot of people from the GP, like ordinary working men or something who just need music to listen to when they travel to work.

You guys are trying to say 'I would rather sacrifice 90% of people who are casual fans that might like my song and even purchase it, so as to avoid a 10% minority who might feel offended that I'm too popular?'

I guess it's not so shocking that when you get famous, there are people who get annoyed?

our king @Gypsy Life has spoken, and it's gonna be #1, this 2k sales drop is not enough, Shallow has a big enough lead, especially since he underestimated our radio AI, relax and wait till Monday to celebrate

2/26 - 49

it also happens when you have a bunch of drama and tactics in the media that aren’t music related that just naturally take away from it. bad overexposure doesn’t happen from a song everyone likes and we’re not talking about that. 

and casualty is the whole issue. it’s hard to get locals to hear and like your song in the first place and they’re not gonna latch on again as easily, bc they won’t be as excited, and therefore the song will flop.

and that 90/10 is a bleeding effect that takes hold with every move and headline that happens. then, eventually you run out of people and 90% of people lose interest in your debuts (the joanne era) unless you get the miracle of huge exposure. 

let’s let the era die on a high note and not suffer a flop single ending for once (which would be every ASIB song bc tens of millions of people have heard it and you’re gonna gonna get someone extremely excited about a 5 month old song)

Ok if we're talking about a new era, I do agree that we need to wait for a while before she starts another album cycle.

But not because she is 'too famous' or 'overexposed' though, it's because Shallow and A Star Is Born are still charting and selling like hotcakes, so why divert the attention away into something else? I guess what I want to say is that, releasing songs at inappropriate times and being 'overexposed' are quite different things.

The former is, not being able to get anyone's attention or support at all, whereas the latter is being able to get most people's attention and support, but losing a minority of people's interest which is still insignificant if compared to the contrasting support the artist gets.

are you actually saying overexposure is not a bad thing? 

[BrickMonster 2,810]

Here's my two cents as someone who works in advertising. The concept of "overexposure" is real in the sense that brands who capitalize on the same concept or execution for too long eventually lead to a decline in effectivity (in this case, sales) and interest from the consumers. This is why brands try to always find a way to communicate new news for their products. 

Now applied to this situation, it's possible that Gaga can suffer from this within the same era if she releases a new single with nothing new in how she executes the release.
