Bad Monster Kid 13,140 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I find it funny that albums released after ARTPOP are really struggling to sell 700K. It is very weird. Most albums this year appear to be heavily front loaded when it comes to sales. Not a good sign. I'm still surprised record companies dont do something about all these streaming services.

RIAA is going to need to adjust the certification qualifications because 1 million album sales nowadays is way harder to obtain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have stopped these companies right from the get go. Kinda like Napster 2.0. It's definitely doing more harm than good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc 4,775 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 If CTC reached platinum tho the queen would have risen from the ashes as she was meant to with ARTPOP Question relevant to this thread: how can Gaga and her management go on about making sure her next solo pop record is a success after the BTW controversies and hurried finish (MTN and BTWB injury) and ARTPOP's underperformance? Is good promo enough? Does she need to do something specifically to make her the biggest thing again or at least very big? I think that there's two parts: - Getting the US public and radio back - Getting the European public and radio back US radio will jump on any song when it shows signs of doing well, and a commercial would really help with this. European radio will play the song if it shows strong first week sales and has positive media surrounding it (praised high-profile performance, surprisingly great first-week sales, VEVO record, etc.) I think that it would really help if they put the song on pre-order about 2 weeks before it drops, so that it would almost definitly debut at #1 on iTunes (first mishap of Applause's run), just like Ariana Grandes Problem. I wouldn't really worry about the music for the next album. Gaga is experiencing one of the best times of her career (happiness-wise), and she has years and years to write for the next pop album. Another important factor is that the songs will be more organic, because she'll start writing on the piano again for the next few albums instead of getting a production from Zedd or DJWS that she has to make fitting lyrics for. This will make the songs a lot better I'm sure. And she has so much time before the next album, she'll probably have written hundreds of songs before it. Perhaps she'll even have some songs supposed for the rock or jazz album changed into pop songs, which would really make some GREAT songs I really wouldn't worry about the music for the next pop album. I think it'll be her best album tbh. She finally has some freedom and doesn't have to rush everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can simple words hype me :cry: I'd be so here for this and yes, her writing lyrics on top of productions really hurt the music imo. Her songs written on a piano (TF, TFM, BTW according to her were all written on the piano) are her strongest.

Kinda like Napster 2.0. It's definitely doing more harm than good. They're earning more money thanks to streaming. The GP uses streaming instead of downloading everything. Sweden, the biggest Spotify market besides the US, is like #13 biggest market with a population of only ~10 million, and their album sales are still pretty good (ARTPOP sold like 30,000, comparable to 1,000,000 in the US).
