Reject False Icons 4,488 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Bonnie McKee posted some unreleased photos from her first music project in 2004, but this chart picture caught my attention it got me wondering if 20 years ago, these detailed graphs were done on pop artists, how much more corporative complex has it become now to study a singer’s perception to propel new popstars I know it’s logical to study a artist image but it’s not too far from the ridiculed “little managers” analysis I feel like looking at that chart reminded me that everything is more calculated than what it seems, specially the “authentic ones” and makes me wonder if the bar is much higher now why newer singer’s careers last so little Edited 1 hour ago by Reject False Icons Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATCAT 56,866 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Not only is the bar much higher, but you can't even get signed these days unless you already have a 50-100k follower count on tiktok. Purr more, hiss less. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

weed 68,821 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago It is very interesting, I'd love to be a fly on the wall for artists of such a high caliber. MJ controversy, Taylor after the Kim phone call leaked, Drake after Kendrick, etc. Millions, maybe hundreds of millions, on the line! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helxig 40,450 Posted 17 minutes ago Share Posted 17 minutes ago (edited) F.ucking hate how the industry works behind the scenes A whole bullet point discussing in business terms the usefulness of her sex appeal and a pie graph about it We need some Billionaires to create labels that focus on artistic integrity and other kinds of marketting than this bullshit Edited 16 minutes ago by Helxig I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie S 5,667 Posted 12 minutes ago Share Posted 12 minutes ago Yes. It's sad, however, the industry views music and the artist as a product, and to sell that product, they must analyse what sells and what doesn't. It's disgusting it has to be done in such perverted ways, however if the artist isn't as talented, unfortunately according to them, that's what they must focus on to become profitable. Look at Katy. Imagine what Gaga's analytics looked like back in 2011-2012.. The melody that you choose can rescue you ♥ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 100,362 Posted 2 minutes ago Share Posted 2 minutes ago I mean, after all it's showbiz, there's business in it. Calculated is fine so long you show that you actually care about your listeners, or fans,and not just taken them as somekind of statistics. That, to me, is what differs between an actual artists and a label product. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ✧*:・゚ sausage so good! (*´艸`*) ♡♡♡ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
27monster27 10,018 Posted 2 minutes ago Share Posted 2 minutes ago While it's sad that capitalism allows people to be viewed as a product, this is normal. From college classes I took pitch decks like this are standard for "selling" artists to businesses. People look at these to determine if an artist is profitable, and how to market them to make them profitable. he/him/his Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
