Hell, pre digital it was just as easy if not easier to game the charts. reading a billboard article about Katy’s record breaking Teenage Dream era actually reminded me how her team came up with new ways to push certain songs to the top. I completely forgot that both E.T. And Last Friday Night had remixes that helped them to get to number one on Billboard Hot 100 lol.

I completely forgot that both E.T. And Last Friday Night had remixes that helped them to get to number one on Billboard Hot 100 lol. Hell plenty of acts from the 80s and earlier have talked about how labels knew which specific shops/chains were official reporters for the Charts and either the labels or the acts would go there and buy up all the stock to deliberately bump the numbers. And then the famous (in the UK) chart battle for #1 between Roll with it by Oasis & Country House by Blur where the release date was made the same to deliberately drive up sales for both by the record label (the hatred between the 2 bands is real though hahah) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NATAH 37,895 Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago variants are fine when the only difference is cosmetic variants are a big issue when they start seperating songs across multiple album copies it's just so anti-consumer mother, what must i do?

Yeah people are just using it to be petty and game systems now. I know as some have mentioned that they've done that before, but this is on a new level. he/him/his Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
