Teletubby 143,801 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 most of the hits come from TikTok so labels want them to promote music there. this is part of their job, they are paid for it. "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsemanche 92,672 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I'm pretty sure it's more annoying than recording a 15-sec video because they have to get ready for it, do 5000 takes to get a good one, etc. These people probably don't even like tiktok or creating that kind of content so I get the annoyance. 7 minutes ago, Lighter said: and remember when pop stars go from studio to studio every single day for televised performances and interviews I'm sure that isn't fun or interesting either for some artists but I guess interviews are more 'standard' and that's why they don't complain about them as much. Plus I imagine interviews are more fun and interesting to have because you're at least talking to another person about your work. And performances are what most artists love doing so they probably aren't a problem either. Soft, soothing, and succulent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleepBloop 10,316 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Well, tiktok still carries a negative connotation (it’s cringe), so most artists don’t enjoy using it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson123 37,529 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I think it's just part of the job because of how easy it is to just do short videos and keep your name in people's minds. There's a lot people using Tik Tok so of course record labels would want their artists to make a little effort to maintain the average attention they need, especially for new artists or those who probably need promotion. I know it can be exhausting keeping up with Instagram, Twitter and now Tik Tok so they get drained or just lack creativity on what to do there or they're just not in the mood but I guess it's something they signed up for. We don't really know what Gaga feels right now about all of that but there was a point in her career when she was miserable so it's nice to see that with time, she got to do what she wanted and learned to say no.

efrs 435 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I don’t really see why the onus is placed on the artist to make the tiktok. I’m sure there’s a whole marketing team at the label that would have much better insight to what would make a viral tiktok. Just draft up some ideas to share w the artist then have them do their part and move on. *Good* content creation is a lot harder than I think most people realize.

Benji 20,113 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I get why it’s annoying. Artists make music because they like making/performing music… they don’t do it because they want to make short videos hoping they’ll go viral Promotional campaigns are taxing if you don’t want to do them. At least with talk shows etc. you and the show are mutually benefitting from each other’s audiences but TikTok puts all the pressure onto an artist to hope they make a successful video.

dove 528 Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I dont hate it bc theyre promoting it, i hate it bc its super cringe! for example shakira doing that dance for Te Felicito and trying to make it go viral. Or even lizzo with About Damn Time. It feels super forced. Now when a song goes viral on tik tok organically (lika Say So for ex) thats better and way less cringe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
