Payola =/= digital sales

see: WHYB

They're selling well because they're quality songs by an artist people take seriously and actually show interest in.

 

Oh he was talking about digital sales, nevermind. My bad.

How is this possible :

Suit & Tie - 2.4m

Mirrors - 1.6m

 

How is it possible that their sales are so low even with radio shoving them down our throats?

 

Simple: JT's comeback was lukewarm, singles-wise. Nobody was here for his 2006-sounding tracks.

Those sales are disturbingly low for such huge airplay

Maybe it's because people are buying the album instead :ray:

Yes! It's finally in the Top 20!  :party:

At the moment, that's true, but Suit and Tie will probably reach at least 3 million, and Mirrors probably around 2-2.5 million. That's still kind of low for the amount of A.I. they got (especially for Mirrors), but it looks better than their current numbers.

Gaga said that she ended up not being on the track because of disagreements with Lamar's management team.  Well his management team can't be all that great if they let a collab with Lady Gaga slip right past their fingers.  Lamar's sales are targeted towards a pretty narrow demographic and he isn't popular among DJ's either.  Although his album and singles ended up being successful in the end, I feel like a Gaga collab could have been the push he needed to be launched into true super-stardom.

Well his album has sold extremely well, so that has erased a lot of potential single buyers right there.  However, perhaps the fact that he's been so majorly successful on the radio has actually hurt his sales.  Many casual listeners have been hearing his songs so much that they might not feel an urge to actually buy them.  People only buy things that they truly love and/or passionate about.  His singles have, quite honestly, been very boring. There's nothing polarizing about them.  This helped make them huge on the radio, which tends to stay away from songs that spark strong opinions, but ultimately hurt his sales in the end.

I guess, but if Gaga got such radio backing, I can only imagine how much bigger her singles sales wouldve been. Its kind of bull****.

 

Radio shouldve spun her songs more if they got so much digital backing, given the lower AI. Timberlakes ratios are awful.
