If I were Gaga/Interscope, I would forsake all attempts to get a Billboard #1 and just focus on making amazing music.

It's not worth it anymore, looking at how muddied the system has become. People buying their singles, creating fake accounts/views, strangling and pressuring charts and award-giving bodies, monopolizing a free art market and destroying countless dreams...

Most of the techniques employed today date back to the 80's. It's not like record labels today are any greedier than the record companies of the past.

I don't see anything wrong with radio deals, music videos, remixes, and repackagings to improve sales. That's what record labels are fore: selling records. Also, record companies don't buy multiple copies of a single. That's just a made up tale that people use when their faves do terrible. If a record companies were to suddenly buy a large quantity of a song, Billboard would catch it as fraud.

And how is it physically possible to "strangle and pressure the charts?" If a single sells more than another single, it will chart higher. The end. The Billboard charts are the only chart system that I have a problem with. Their specification seem very unfair to me and I don't believe that it actually shows how successful a single actually is. Chr/Pop radio is the largest format in the world, anyways. Radio first, and then sales. That's what really matters.

I dont know why i never can watch a full video or listen a full song from justin B. He is so boring.

I agree. He's not very interesting.

I really don't know what's happenning to me right now but :

Taylor Swift latest songs are really good and honest hits !

JB latest effort is not that bad too.

I don't mind JB's latest songs. They are your average, solid electro-pop hit.

His videos are just hilarious, though! He's trying to act all grown up but he still looks like a little kid. I literally watch them as comedy videos.

I think the Bieber video is great. It's a fun idea, he had a way to make it viral, it's technically savvy and well-made. It's just a lot of fun and quite crafty and clever. He's been on his A-game this album. All three of his singles have ranged from decent to flat-out good. And I love it. EVERYBODY piles on Bieber all the time. Nobody but his squealing teen girl fans took him seriously, and I love seeing him make an argument for himself being a legit popstar that people underestimated. I wish him nothing but the best with this album.

I liked the JB video. It wasn't amazing but it was pretty good :)

Huge upgrade from his last 2 videos :pukey: BF and ALAYLM (although I like the latter) had horrible videos.

I know B&B is barely starting its single run, but I wonder what the next single will be.

82 Justin Bieber - Beauty and a Beat (feat. Nicki Minaj) 0.0495

Sad. That was an amazing, fun video, although the song itself is still meh to me.

Thought it'd be Top 20 by now.
