Raf Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Am I the only one who thinks Warner has something to do with MDNA / Rebel Heart singles not taking off ? Just so strange they didn't even chart It has nothing to do with Warner. Her contract with them ended with Celebration remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raider of the lost Ark Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Am I the only one who thinks Warner has something to do with MDNA / Rebel Heart singles not taking off ? Just so strange they didn't even chart It has all to do with Interscope / Universal not lifting a single finger marketing wise. They took the distribution deal very literal. Technically they may not have done anything wrong but not using your influence on ageist radio when you have the biggest star on the planet on your roaster is disgusting behaviour. AND their way to show any artist that a 360 deal with a touring company might result in a big decrease in sales because you don't have the powers of a record company behind you to market your work properly. This is a big "Think Twice!" message or dare I say warning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letthemeatcake Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Readers' Poll: The 10 Best Songs of 2015 See which single beat Drake and the Alabama Shakes for the top spot (Kevin Mazur/Getty) The music industry has had a historic 12 months as the streaming wars heated up and album sales reached record-breaking highs thanks to Adele after years of diminishing returns. As the business itself faced incredible changes, breaking artists and veteran musicians alike experimented with their sounds, doing everything from throwing back to the Seventies to getting everyone to cha-cha. As 2015 comes to an end, we asked our readers to vote for their favorite songs of the year. 1.Madonna, "Ghosttown" Even in a great year for pop music, Madonna is still the queen. The power ballad off her March album Rebel Heart was a more classic pop turn for the singer after the house hit "Living for Love" and trap digression of "Bitch I'm Madonna." On the massive, romantic track, the singer tackles both world issues and a reflection of self. Even though the single didn't crack the Billboard Hot 100, it still topped the dance charts and showcased one of the singer's strongest vocal performances. Rolling Stone This has got to be payola. I mean there is no other way. Nobody bought this song, what readers voted for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big "Think Twice!" message or dare I say warning. But why?? Shouldn't a song be a hit on its own merit? Are you suggesting payola? What do you mean by influence? And I personally believe Interscope paid a lot of money to get this album good reviews. They did the same with Gaga for Born This Way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Heart sold 800K, and obviously, Ghosttown is part of that album so these 800K people have heard Ghosttown (plus the 20 millions who watched the video on Youtube or her many performances on TV, and also the people who downloaded the song). It's hardly "nobody". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a troll and we are not stupid. You most definitely are because I think for myself and as much as I love her, I'm not going to pretend Rebel Heart is ANY good because it isn't. And that's her latest project, so of course that's what I'm going to comment on. Tow bad you can't understand something so simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
