Americano 31,061 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 Scream & Shout gained and she'll gain with the FF era videos, except Criminal won't get anything with its flop views and a lot of her old singles won't get much of a gain since she was pre-streaming when she peaked. Â The change is (lets be honest) an attempt to bolster the new pop girls of the internet age even higher above other rising stars. Labels with Rihanna, Gaga, Katy, Adele, etc. were clearly pushing for this change. Those stars look bigger than ever now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americano 31,061 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 The big LOSERS of the change are internationally focused stars (Lana Del Rey, Psy, etc.) and newer stars that dont have big streaming (Azealia, Marina etc.) Â It's almost feeding into the gulf between the mega stars and the kind-of stars.

ThisGuyTony 25,008 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 That means Ke$ha won't get ANY sort of certification boost outside of "Tik Tok"... And (if I'm reading this right) that's only another 1x Platinum Certification... Â Â Â :nooo: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 No DOUBT there has been a huge line drawn between them. Â Looks like the big labels wanna keep it that way too, they all definitely signed off on the change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick4bty 2,758 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 CHU keeps dropping on iTunes.... Â At least Mariah has held steady today, for the most part. Hopefully the video will boost it back up. I think all Mariah videos are guaranteed a good amount of views. It's amazing how strong her fanbase still is after all these years, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Americano 31,061 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Share Posted May 9, 2013 I'd really still love an explanation from people that hate it so much as to how they'd plan to take into account someone that has Spotify and listens to a single 800 times. In what world would it be fair to NOT count that as anything for a star in terms of sales? Â They receive royalties based on the plays and it got played as much, or more, than if it were purchased. Especially if the person uses Spotify premium or Youtube's new subscription service, the user themselves is actually paying for the music directly just like a sale.
