theahsfan 13,822 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Apparently Katy has secured radio deals for her new single so they play her every hour, probably globally This feels like cheating really because NO HATE but we know she probably won't even manage to top iTunes so it won't be any indication of the GP actually actively wanting to listen to and buy her music if she charts high, radios will basically be payed to spin her new song which will make it chart high. How can she be so inauthentic? This goes to other artists too who use it but like... what sense of pride and achievement do you get when you have to force radio stations to spin it so often just for it to chart? 365 is an example of a Katy song without payola and spotify and radio deals... the charts just feel so RIGGED, it's no longer fully an indication of how liked the song actually is by the GP Again, no hate, I just don't..... nvm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyalty 3,904 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 She might have the radio payola but just like Taylor’s ‘ME!’ once the streaming and the sales start to free fall the radio payola wouldn’t even be worth it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 48,921 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It's called marketing your brand and business, that's not cheating Big artists compete with eachother and they promote. Again that's not cheating and radio deals for the lead single is allowed so it's not technically called Payola I think it's fine. Gaga has done this before too let's not forget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because yuppp it's freefalling now. That truly is how you can tell if something's really popular (Example: Dope peaking at #9 because it was featured in a Youtube ad or something and then it tanked after) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
