Whispering 18,865 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 But the video just gives that extra push. It can make people like a song more, so after promotion or airplay they'll look the song up on youtube and find a video before buying it. Perhaps the video makes them like the song more, resulting in more effect of promo. It makes the position of a song higher on iTunes, resulting in more airplay, resulting in higher iTunes position, etc etc. I believe that a video is the most important promotion for a song, especially by an already well-known artist. It can, it might, it isn't a given. A video is an important part of the puzzle, though. It is rarely the most important promotion, especially now that there are no more banners. There are always those special cases, like when a Disney girl goes naked, or when a parody of a video goes viral. Those types of situations can result in huge benefits or the results can be negligible. Hopefully, there aren't any big issues behind the release of the DWUW video, but the longer it goes, the more suspicious I'm becoming that there is some kind of issue with R. Kelly being in the vid. :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 not me writing the same in the other thread lol I think DH might sell more than ROAR actually It literally has the best months of sales + considering the fact that it's already platinum. When the promo and video kick in we'll see a monster smash Inb4 it overshadows The Monster exactly because of the best months I am predicting 5M at most ... Otherwise I'd say 4M ..

AURA 2,890 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Well who cares about Adele, ARTPOP is still not the smash album we thought it's going to be, it's not like having her around would change the situation in any way for us... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arturo 40,746 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Am I the only one who saw the album selling moderately coming? 3 smash albums was already too good to be true. 4 would be just ...close to impossible for a pop star.

Exactly. Its not like this is the BTW era where Gaga was close to smashing and blocked by Adele in every single corner. BYE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispering 18,865 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Call me maybe is one of the biggest hits in recent years But still we can clearly say that Lorde accomplished more than Carly ... Well, Lorde's album is nominated for a Grammy. She has had more than one hit, if you look at the AAA and Alt. Rock formats. Carly Rae did have another hit on Pop, if you count her collab. Team will be another multi-format hit for her in the US, including Pop and HAC. Lorde is the right girl at the right time. Her music and message is fitting in with the current alt. rock trend. When the trend changes, which will happen, let's see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViviLittleM 3 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 To Interscope it seems that only 3 countries exist in the world. I mean... UK, Japon and USA, and the rest?? she needs to promote, for example in France! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I expect to see peaks and valleys in any long term career. Gaga also has some ground to make up, after the BTW era. Most of that era turned off all my friends, who had loved her before. Some of them are coming around to her new music, due to things like SNL, the AMAs, or hearing Applause and DWUW on the radio. She's having to do some repair work this era with the GP.

They let irrelevants like MIA release their albums while Gaga has to pay for those indeed those aren't the only 3 countries in the world. If I were some important person, I'd promote in all Top 10 markets+South Korea, Taiwan, Switzerland and Poland. Those are 14 markets, she could do that in less than 2 months without getting exhausted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
