And be promoted also. Interscope can get messy about updating sales and stuff but has been pretty decent at promoting her since she's one of their biggest artists. They've also given her artistic freedom when it comes to her projects. She's good where she is. Gag is big enough so Atlantic and especially BMG will give her the freedom she needs. Only Atlantic is kinda known for meddling with debut albums and if that sold well you're free to go. They won't mess with Gaga. 6 minutes ago, South Blonde said: Also, even if they update everything she won't reach 100M in the US so what's really the point? Pleasing stan twitter? Please... Why not certify? I'm sure that Interscope doesn't certify and withholds information about this so they can hold their artists in small contracts. If Gaga had her entire discography fully certified she could press much more against Interscope management than she can now and Interscope tries to weaken her position.

DonnieDarko 10,186 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I appreciate your input guys in the discussion about the record labels and stuff but you can't really do that without knowing *the details* of Gaga's own deal. Those details are vital to any and every discussion about Interscope and their approach to Gaga (or any other artist). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay but Gaga herself clearly doesn't care, so why would we? Don't you think maybe they are the same thing? Love and attention? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Rosalia 9,906 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 There are many important factors that should be taken into consideration when choosing a label, and certifications are not one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really doubt that she will get the same freedom elsewhere. I mean, we know she's bossy but Atlantic especially is known for her non-risk-taker artists... Also I'm pretty sure Interscope and Gaga herself have access to her sales data, even with no certification. Maybe they need to do some math before but I believe that information is easily available 2 minutes ago, Swallow said: umm maybe because we are chart geeks and we have thousands of posts about Gaga's chart performance?

To be clear, I wasn't saying Gaga needs a new label, just pointed out that Atlantic Records is doing a better job than Interscope when it comes to certifications.

Babel 41,430 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Is Small Talk really 2:42? This trend of short songs smells. I mean, at the end of the day songs were ~3:30 minutes long to be suitable for radio, now they’re doing it for Spotify streams, which is logical from a commercial perspective... but still.

Streaming isn't a good medium for singles in general. The shorter the better to addict the listener. It's a painful cynical process and OH FREAKING HELL WHY DOES MADONNA RAP!!?!?!!? Where was I? The general public doesn't seem to really care and it's better for record labels because they get the same money with less work put into a song and unlike with MP3 where people had to physically/digitally buy a song, streaming just makes songs more disposable.
