Anitta: 'You spend million dollars for music videos and nobody's watching it'

She's right, but it's sad that people who are supposed to be ARTISTS see music videos as nothing more than a way to make money, not as a way to give life to the song...

Also this is another aspect of the music industry that Tiktok has ruined. Youtube is dying because of Tiktok.

TikTok reduces the spam of attention to one lower than what a red fish in a bowl has

yoy just eat all the **** it spits out

this together with streaming and shuffle culture killed the music industry indefinitely

That glorious day Madonna made a video that was banned from all tv (Justify My Love) and the way she made millions selling the VHS of it.

Tiktok isn't 100% the reason behind views dropping of course but people used to spend way more time on Youtube aswell. If Youtube has way less users then the videos will get way less views.

What I don’t understand is why the MVs don’t get officially released on Spotify or even on TikTok, if the YouTube is the problem, then it’s the platform, not the art form itself. Billboard have changed its rules so many times, I’m sure it can count the MV streams from different platforms as well. I can’t fathom how people are so obsessed with a VIDEO platform right now but music VIDEOS are not the thing?? It makes no sense to me

Did she actually say it didn't make money? All she said in the quote is that no one watches them. As an ARTIST, you create art for an AUDIENCE... It's PopCrave that mentions returns, not Anitta.

I mean, just look at how many views Disease has.

From a purely business standpoint, she’s right.

I mean, there‘s no better release to look at. The live performance of DWAS is 2mio views ahead of Disease, and those 2mio are 20% of Disease‘s views. And they were literally released simultaneously. Yes, DWAS is a hit. But those numbers are insane. 
 

Also this: Look at Gaga’s most viewed videos. ARUTW, Shallow, INLA are all made from scenes in the movie. DWAS & Million Reasons are pretty simplistic. Then there’s Rain On Me. And Shallow from the Oscars is a live performance. The rest is at least 11 (Applause) years old.

The locals are already over that song when the MV out a week after the song release. It would have better number if it was out the same time as single release. 

over? girl there's people out there that don't even know the song yet.

this is the thing with internet, people think that infos that burst within a certain niche are accessible in the same range to the average public.

I hoped for a performance but I don't know what's going on with artists currently that most veterans are just unwilling to go sing in tv shows
