Nick 29 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Will Katy's promo singles affect her sales along the road when they're officially released, since so many people have already bought the songs? My guess is a definite no. I think artists like Katy who pump out guaranteed hits can afford promo singles transforming into actual singles. It may be hard for someone like Gaga where the extreme frontloading could potentially hurt her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the album already crossed the 7 or 8M mark in the states or something by the time it was released. The song even went near platinum without an official release as a single but then kinda stalled. I think Capitol definitely has a hit with Dark Horse but WoA kinda flopped on iTunes for a song that got to #1. (even if it is a promo single) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(even if it is a promo single) I can't even ponder a Katy song not becoming a hit at this point. But I guess it's possible to have a song tank right after a worldwide smash...

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 It's so weird because she promoted the hell out of it too. So many performances. And then she just let the whole era/comeback die. yeah. But wasnt it because she got confined in the hospital? Not sure tho. :huh: "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body."

Ozzy8923 9 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Justin Bieber's Music Mondays begin this week, Oct, 7, at midnight, and the "Baby" singer's official website has gotten a huge makeover to help accommodate for the new music releases. On Friday (Oct. 4), Bieber tweeted a simple link to his official website, announcing the new design and the beginning of his Music Mondays. Beliebers who head over to JustinBieberMusic.com will see two promotions for Bieber's upcoming releases: his Music Mondays and his "Believe 3D" concert documentary, which will be released for the Christmas season this year. Dressed mostly in white, Bieber's website teases "Are You Ready?" alongside the single artwork for the pop star's highly anticipated new single, "Heartbreaker." The top of Bieber's page then lists a series of dates, which are Mondays from this upcoming week until the middle of December. Dec. 25, better known as Christmas Day, shows "Believe," indicating the release date for Bieber's new movie. Oct. 7 shows the single artwork for "Heartbreaker," the highly anticipated new single from Justin Bieber. The Biebz has been teasing "Heartbreaker" all summer via his Twitter account. Bieber has also taunted fans with a short Instagram video of "Heartbreaker" a cappella and a commercial for his new perfume, The Key, which used the instrumentation. Earlier this week, Bieber announced his Music Mondays project, wherein a new track will drop every Sunday at midnight for 10 weeks, beginning Oct. 7. Soon after, it was announced that "Heartbreaker" will be the first new song. Bieber and his manager Scooter Braun have teased that "Heartbreaker" will be released in a "unique manner," and it seems like the Music Mondays series is it. Beliebers should stay in tune with the Internet on Sunday and Monday to finally hear the revelatory single. Other tracks from the Music Mondays series have yet to be announced. THANK GOD. It's for a ****ing movie not an album. Knee you gon' get dat #1 album, bb. YOU GON' GET IT. But I'm not holding my breath. This boy pop out albums like there's no tomorrow so God knows if he'll end up surprising us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was for an album, who would buy the album if they already bought all the individual songs? That would make absolutely no sense lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand watching the video and what not but really wasting money on such a dumb song is.. dumb. I can't even make it past the chorus. Ugh it's so cringe-worthy. And the verses and instrumental aren't even that bad at all. Sure the lyrics are dumb as ****, but it's an easy listen - until that god-awful chorus. Just terrible. Makes Gangnam Style look like a ****ing piece of treasure. Praying for a white/green update Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make absolutely no sense lol I've already mentioned that if you buy 10 songs from an album, you might as well spend the extra money to buy the whole thing, right? That's probably what they're going for here. Sis there is no way he's releasing ten non-album singles Well, it says that the countdown ends on Dec. 25. So it's not the fact that there's no album, it's the fact that the releasing of songs ends AFTER Dec. 3, which is when I thought his album was going to come out [subsequently blocking Britney's]. But since his songs countdown ends after Dec. 3, that means he won't release an album that week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
