Klou 2,414 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Yeah, Tamar's song was already in the top 10 when Gaga tweeted about it. Still confused why it got that high in the first place, but good for her :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake 0 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Her label has to be raising it artificially. She's virtually unknown and is going to be number 1 on iTunes in less than 24 hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick 29 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 How does a label raise a song artificially on iTunes? They get someone with 31 million followers to tweet an iTunes link :teehee: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake 0 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 How does a label raise a song artificially on iTunes? By purchasing thousands of copies with an automated system. Of course I don't know that but people regularly rig games using automated bots so I'm sure it could be done with iTunes. Just think, less than a million people knew her name yesterday. Today she's about to lead iTunes. There's something funny going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarnYourLeather 231 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 No one is falsifying or artificially raising the song's numbers. :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick4bty 2,758 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 It actually isn't that bad of a song.... Gaga is so powerful though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad 32 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Her label has to be raising it artificially. She's virtually unknown and is going to be number 1 on iTunes in less than 24 hours. Why didn't Interscope do this for MTN? :cryga: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Guys, the majority of the sales did not come from Gaga's tweet, so don't be mistaken. It probably got a bit of a boost, but that's about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavymlover 340 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Well, she has a reality show, maybe that helped her song. Although Tila Tequila would say otherwise :blehga: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake 0 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 No one is falsifying or artificially raising the song's numbers. :roll: Totally. A song that no one has ever heard of, by an artist that is even less well known reached the top of iTunes in less than 24 hours. Totally plausible. EDIT: I know this might be getting a little conspiracy theory-ey up in here, but this is just too much. Something had to cause that song to rise on iTunes. It could have been promo somewhere, but no one here has any examples. I'm just saying we can't rule it out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
