Teletubby 117,852 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) You’re working to make vinyl more sustainable. Happier Than Ever came in eight vinyl variants, but you use 100% recycled black vinyl — plus recycled scraps for colored variants — and shrink-wrap made from sugar cane. Billie Eilish: We live in this day and age where, for some reason, it’s very important to some artists to make all sorts of different vinyl and packaging … which ups the sales and ups the numbers and gets them more money and gets them more… Maggie Baird(Billie's mom): Well, it counts toward No. 1 albums. Eilish: I can’t even express to you how wasteful it is. It is right in front of our faces and people are just getting away with it left and right, and I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable — and then it’s some of the biggest artists in the world making f–king 40 different vinyl packages that have a different unique thing just to get you to keep buying more. It’s so wasteful, and it’s irritating to me that we’re still at a point where you care that much about your numbers and you care that much about making money — and it’s all your favorite artists doing that sh-t. Baird: But to be fair, the problem is systemic, right? Because if Billboard, to be honest, is going to not have limits… I would love to see limits, like no more than four colors. Or some kind of rules, because you can’t fault an artist for playing the No. 1 game. https://www.billboard.com/music/pop/billie-eilish-sustainability-eco-friendly-initiatives-mom-1235642455/ Edited March 28 by Teletubby I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat And my love for @Juanlittlem dropped into the lining 5 8 6 30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacs vs looser 2,721 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 She's right, billboard should limit how many variants of a single/album count towards their charts and overall sales. I see no reason for there being more than 3 variants of a single format (other than greed). 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck 470 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 2 minutes ago, olivia specter said: "I find it really frustrating as somebody who really goes out of my way to be sustainable and do the best that I can and try to involve everybody in my team in being sustainable" the argument is that her vinyls are recycled. point taken. that's great. but still, it's not so much better when you think about it. the new plastics aren't being thrown out, they're being kept by fans so ideally none of those fresh vinyls are going to waste. call it for what it is--- vinyl-exclusives to collect are a money grab and abusive to your fanbase. no need for virtue-signalling coming from someone who does something that's not much better. 8 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister G 9,165 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I honestly never understood why we need 18 versions of the same album just for each one to look prettier than the last or feature one to two bonus tracks. Not to mention it's such an expensive process to produce vinyls. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
