Klou 2,414 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Bad videos don't go viral. Birthday couldn't even be VEVO certified and it's not like it was a complete flop like G.U.Y in sales/radio. It did moderately in sales and radio yet their views are similar Just shows that when you put out a bad video (no matter how much of a streaming monster you are), it'll flop. If something is so bad that it's funny (i.e. Friday), there is the potential for it to go viral. OLT ended up just being stupid. I wasn't laughing :coffee: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't laughing But with Friday the song itself was bad. Not just the video. There's nothing funny about OLT, in fact it's actually a good song. The video is just bad.

JimmyJudas 209 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 If it wasn't that one-shot take OLT would've been waaay better. It's not that bad, just nothing special. At least, I loved the purple color of the sky 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills 446 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Wow! The decrease of album sales is so so so sad. Yes, it is. Also, how I wish TF was released in 2009. It would've easily been the best-selling album released in 2009. Anyway, getting back to the decrease of album sales, if there's an upside of it, then it'd be the massive increase of single sales, particularly digital song sales ever since the iTunes Store was introduced in 2003. Here are SoundScan’s best-selling singles released in the following years: Year / Song / Artist / Last SoundScan reported sales / source 2004 - Yeah! - Usher feat. Lil Jon, Ludacris - 4 million (as of Sept. 19, 2013 via Chart Watch) 2005 - Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani - 2.519 million (as of May 2, 2012 via @chartnews) 2006 - SexyBack - Justin Timberlake - 4.494 million (as of June 19, 2014 via Chart Watch) 2007 - Low - Flo Rida feat. T-Pain - 7 million (as of June 5, 2014 via Chart Watch) 2008 - Poker Face - Lady Gaga - 7.2 million (as of Nov. 17, 2014 via Billboard) 2009 - I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas - 8.62 million (as of Dec. 31, 2014 via Billboard) 2010 - Firework - Katy Perry - 6.8 million (as of Jan. 25, 2015 via Billboard) 2011 - Rolling In The Deep - Adele - 8 million (as of Oct. 10, 2013 via Chart Watch) 2012 - Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye feat.

SomethingMore 1,701 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Can't believe Ariana did a medley of all her singles The video is..........interesting It's so bad I actually like it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindongardon 25 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ofc it's a half time show, 12 min at max. Reasonable to perform a medly. But i do wish if only she performed OLT at last part of the performance tho. She slayed though so that's what matters. She's ready to take a higher level of a performer. Hope she eats more tho. Lol. As for the video, the first time i watch it i was heavily disappointed and was laughing during the bearded man scene lmao. After watching several times, i actually thought it was great. Unique concept. Not really boring as what the ppl are saying. Goof job Ari. :applause: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
