boysboysboys 278 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'm so afraid :( The promo is brilliant but getting little traction in music and print media. I think the problem is that she has lost her moment with what's playing now. I'm not saying she should be overloading it like Rihanna, but the last single should have left with some great impact and not involved a huge chunk of the soul of Born This Way... I also wish for more respect from the industry :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoMonster 4,798 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I just love the music, it's the most I care about, but charts and sales are important, we all know it. Lady Gaga is not your local-village artist, is a worldwide artist and a pop artist, and these kinds of artists need sales and success in charts, they are commercial artists and even if Gaga's label record didn't care about sales it would be almost imposible to do what she's been doing this 5 years, you know, performaces, tours, videos... She needs money and success. (I'm not angry, if it seemed that way ) Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that if she releases promotinal singles it will be their team's desition and it will be for good, besides, 2 years of waiting for ARTPOP and not even wanting promotional singles of my favorite artist just bcuz I'm afraid of it probably flopping, that's just not me xD I want music, as soon as possible :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsterVlad 1,777 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 No promo singles, plz This. And only 1 single before the album. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boysboysboys 278 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 This please, no promo singles! Not even as gift for waiting, no, no and no. I don't want any song except from the lead single ,and maybe if there's a second one, being released before the album drops. Remember the Born This Way mess? Born This Way - lead single Judas - second single Hair - promo single The Edge Of Glory - promo and third single Yoü And I - Monster Ball Scheisse and Government Hooker - remixes Marry The Night, Americano and Electric Chapel - FarmVille 10 out of 17, and three of that 17 are bonus. Please no music except for the lead and the second, cause if not the album will be boring and everything will be a mess. I don't think releasing too many promo singles is a bad strategy, considering she is practically unheard currently. Granted your concerns for overexposure of the album are valid, but there's a way to do this properly. From my perspective, I never would have discovered Born This Way if I didn't hear the lead single along with the Mugler songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alive 1 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Instead of promo singles maybe she can bring back gaga vision to hold us over till the album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodylody 1,725 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 It only takes one song for her to be in everyone's mind. She needs to be slow and steady with single releases. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boysboysboys 278 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Instead of promo singles maybe she can bring back gaga vision to hold us over till the album YES. Not only is Youtube solid media that she should be updating, it goes around other forms of media and can help with the music problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Voices 1,024 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 I'd also like it if we didn't get too many songs before the actual release like with BTW. Maybe 2 singles ot 1 single and one promotional but overall no more than 2-3 songs! Forever and Always! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

momotaro 2 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 The way the app might work is you buy it for the cost of the album, and when you open it, the tracks are a free IAP (in app Purchase) that then allows you to play the songs in the app. It would likely transfer them to iTunes and require the user to figure out the sync. That's what I can think of off the top of my head. But following her work with Apple they might have created another way for it to be done .. I'm speaking as an IOS Developer too.

Dawson 9,371 Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 (edited) AFAIK you can't preorder apps so that confused me a bit. I'd assume the app would be free then IAP would cost, then it would likely shoot to the top of the Top: Free section of the appstore, meaning more promo for the album? We'll see Edited July 14, 2013 by Dawson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
