Janet 1,417 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Interesting - Work Bxtch is not in the top 40 for radio airplay, but on TV it is the 3 most played video. Wonder how it is going to do when it is released! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Indeed with the MTN X-factor performance in 2001, trying to work out what was happening visually meant the song was not being listened to. I't best for people to hear a song on radio before seeing a theatrical performance. It's takes a couple listens to warm up to most songs, and a weird new song plus strong theatrics is a lot to take in. This will still work as album promo for people who've bought Gaga albums before.

Jim 1 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 it is against the rules, you can't change a promo single into an official single BEFORE the album release! Where is this confirmed? Pretty sure if they release it as a standalone single tomorrow it'll then count for the charts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Sioux 8 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I really hope the song isn't messy. I like the sound of the snippets (at least, I do now), but I'm kinda struggling to see how they mesh exactly this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagaMyBlood95 9,899 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Where is this confirmed? Pretty sure if they release it as a standalone single tomorrow it'll then count for the charts. no, it won't, it will count ONLY when the album is released! You have it in this thread somewhere - that new rule.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cersei 56 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I know! Let's hope it will be okay tomorrow! it is against the rules, you can't change a promo single into an official single BEFORE the album release! Yes you can if it's not part of the album, you're not translating it right. if that was the case no songs from any album could chart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 680 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Question: Do UK chart rules hurt the music industry? 1) They encourage international artists to hold back singles for weeks or months to ensure a good chart position. This a disutility for itunes buyers and an incentive for illegal downloading. 2). They discourage artists from using pre-orders to boost albums sales. Result is few digital albums sold. In days of physical sales, there were rules about how many B sides and mixes you could put on a single. Some countries lower than others. The result, as a guy who worked in the industry once explained, is that people would get fewer extras as labels would conform to the lowest limit in the most restrictive country.

Cersei 56 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The UK chart is horrible as well, longevity does not exist... songs debut and rarely rise, they then fall like a brick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result, as a guy who worked in the industry once explained, is that people would get fewer extras as labels would conform to the lowest limit in the most restrictive country. I think the UK chart rules damage the legitimacy of its singles chart, yes. On (1) the business of getting a song played on radio for a month before releasing it for sale should be stopped, as it creates artificial #1 songs that drop out the following week, devaluing getting #1. You can't stop radio playing it early, but you can make it that any delay in releasing a song for sale (evidenced via radio play or release elsewhere in the world) will result in an equal period after release for sale when the song can't chart. On (2) there will be move to split album artists (who will continue to have pre-orders for their albums) and singles artists (who will make multiple singles to chart in the absence of an album). The album artists will give up trying to get a UK #1 single - probably Gaga has already reached that position. However the likes of the itunes chart is getting more recognition than the weekly official chart nowadays (since the itunes chart is what people see when they go to buy their music) and I expect the official chart in its present form will become extinct before too long.

geo 0 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 UK labels just don't want to follow pretty much the rest of the world in on air, on sale which is a shame. It's only Gaga that really does that here and as you can see it gives her a massive disadvantage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
