Mariano 958 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 BJ is better than Prism, though I never bought PRISM either but I think it's better than BJ .. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Both BJ and Prism arent as bad as people on here say. BJ, like every other brit album as of late, had promo and engagement issues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlanetChromatica 2,251 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Is anyone actually buying G.U.Y. from amazon or itunes? IF people want it to chart they need to buy it, just bought a copy on amazon myself, might create some apple accounts to buy on itunes too. It's been slowly rising in UK, #300 right now and radio 1 are slowly playing it more and more! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VforVendetta 2,024 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I love Britney but I don't think her albums are that strong outside from the singles and 1-2 other songs. lf she had become famous today she would have been definitely a singles artist like Rihanna.

Luc 4,775 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I mean the fact that P!nk had a smash hit JGMAR and they did not gave much of a chance to her next single... There is definitely some bias about Katy and it's not only biase.. I feel like Capitol have some deals with radios, for real.. They are probably licking their asses + some payola for sure (at least in the beginning of the era) ... I mean .. P!nk smashed with JGMAR just as much as Dark Horse smashed and her next single FLOPPED both on radio and itunes.. whereas Uncle was pushed to 80M AI without even cracking top 20 on Itunes ... and Birthday is getting 3M update basically being outside of top 100 on Itunes.. That's a bit too much. Kinda. Unconditionally did hit Top 20 on iTunes, and Birthday is Top 100 now though.. the biggest reason Katy's getting big updates is because radio expects it to smash anyways, because it's a Katy single. The video will help the song's momentum, but its radio support is too big for it's low iTunes position. At lesat they're giving it a chance, though. I'm sure Katy will promote this single, and that it'll do at least as good as Marry the Night. And yes, Capitol does have deals with radios in some way, but it's not directly paying, and they're not alone. Universal Music (including Interscope), SONY, etc. (basically the 4 biggest labels) pay so-called indies, which pay the radio station. They're basically using a middle man for payola. And then there's kissing radio's ass, which Gaga does too; she's presenting an award at iHeartRadio, she did countless radio interviews, etc. But Katy took it a step further with the cakes.

I know, doesn't change the fact that 3M is just a bit too much for a 4th single that is at 97 on Itunes ... I am sure that even if Birthday somehow underperforms it will still reach 70-100M AI which is not fair :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song will probably become a Stay The Night-sized hit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 radio will drop it like a rock when they see that it's going to be like Unconditionally. The song will probably become a Stay The Night-sized hit. that's my point.. they'll drop it but the song will already be at 80M Ai which is a lot for a flop song.. and another thing is that it will get there pretty quick.. which is a lot of exposure.. I mean now that radio is on Katy's side, all they have to do is serve radio a cute bop and they'll play the **** out of it. That;s completely unfair.

Gagamel 3,410 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 mess at a katy video having 2 mil views and not even 100k likes 24 hours in the lyric vid is probably gonna have more views than the official one... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think it's completely fair that a pop star of her size gets pushed to at lesat 50M AI to let the song prove itself. But this is the exact problem with GUY, they're not giving it the chance any Lady Gaga, Rihanna or Katy Perry single deserves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Obviously GUY is doing worse on Itunes than Birthday, but I can bet that if GUY gets 2M updates for 3 days, it will get in top 300 and If it gets overall as much airplay as Birthday it will be a top 40 hit... Which basically means that Radio can turn Katy's songs into hits, but refuses to do that for other singers. . .

That's a bit too much. The thing is that Katy team is always aware of the single status. They watch and act. Pink team doesnt do that. JGMAR smashed without much help from her team. Its not the same thing with Katy. Dark horse was probably the only one that smashed on its own. Her timing is always right and the promo is always on point. I cant blame a team for doing its job.
