Spelt

not really

it's just that everyone else in addition to the songwriter use loopholes to get songwriting credit along with the songwriter and thus get what would have been the songwriter's money

it's pretty awful

it's always been that way

I don't know why anyone would willingly become a songwriter though

artists and producers can make their money other ways

becoming a songwriter is like asking to not have a paycheck lol

dude, the music industry crumbling in the way it did, was entirely their own fault

I have no sympathy for them

They didn't understand the digital era AT ALL.

The second they saw Napster, they did everything they could to kill it. However, the ignored the signs that digital music was something people were interested in. And instead of just limiting themselves to trying to kill Napster, they also tried to do everything in their power to prevent digital from expanding. They could have easily taken a hold of digital when it was still young and then the industry would have great control over it. Sadly they took forever, fell way behind the curve, and allowed the current generation to get into the mindset of illegal downloading. So now normal downloading doesn't happen nearly as much as it should, despite all of the ease and incentives to do it now. Whereas with movies, etc... there isn't as big of an issue because those industries embraced it from the get-go.

They are actually doing some of the same mistakes [but not as blatantly ******** as last time] with the new streaming era that is coming into play. Not to mention they still haven't gotten over this being a singles market now instead of an albums market and they still treat albums as if they actually matter for all but like 10 artists.

for the higher ups [label execs, etc...] who make the money, it always will be

for the smaller people [like songwriters/artists/producers]; not that great

artists make most of their money off touring anyway

tbh the biggest lose was the many record stores and such closing down and those people losing their jobs

but that's the industries fault in itself

the music industry made sure to kill itself by going about handling the digital shift the wrong way, they still have barely got a grasp on it and a barely caught up

that's why it's big money lol

I'm loving your hipster MK persona. Lol

cumulus is just the easiest to pick on out of the broadcasting groups because they have the most stations; so when they do it, it makes a bigger effect than when others do

cumulus boycotted Super Bass to block it from getting #1

further label politics

label politics determine more than you think

Cumulus broadcasting actively put a boycott on her over label politics stuff lol

well radio's supporting her this era, so you'll likely hear it

it is 10/11, yep

oddly enough, Britney's label changed the add date of Criminal from 10/11 to 10/4 right after Katy's label put out their adds date

they be scared lol

they finally gave TOTGA an adds date btw

they're following through with that choice

just a picture of a lotus with the earth in it by quasga. taken down since he put it up. i still have the full res picture if you want it.

panda~

ichu:

Yeah the greatest being that you don't reciprocate my twisted sentiments for you

I have a voyeur fetish

I'm sure it'll be solid.

LFN has been going down slowly actually

they will likely end the era at this point, it's been way too much of a delay between LFN's peak and now

I think all of Peacock, HH, TOTGA are easy top 10s

usually get 5~10 AI by the adds date

still hasn't been sent for adds/confirmed by the label

the airplay now just shows it's not a #1, which I didn't expect it to be [unless they make a remix with Bruno Mars using the following lyrics:]

[collapse=]Perry:
Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th birthday we got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away
The one that got away

Mars:
I was dreaming I was your Johnny Cash
My June, you were my other, we made our pact
Everytime that I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
Sometimes I wanna get this tattoo removed
Catch me downtown singing the blues
I don't want to face the music, don't wanna hear the news

Perry:
In another life
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away
The one that got away

The woah-woah-woah-one

Mars:
The woah-woah-woah-one

Perry:
The woah-woah-woah-one

All this money can't buy me a time machine, no

Mars:
I should've got you that diamond ring, no

Both:
I should've told you what you meant to me, whoa
'Cause now I pay the price

Perry (Mars):
In another life
I would be your girl (I would be your man)
We keep all our promises
Be us against the world (Against the world)
And in another life
I would make you stay (How I should have stayed)
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away (The one that got away)
The one that got away

Both:
The woah-woah-woah-one
The woah-woah-woah-one
The woah-woah-woah-one
The woah-woah-woah-one

In another life
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were
The one that got away
The one that got away[/collapse]

my preference since the CD was released:
1. CG
2. TD
3. FW
4. ET
5. LFN
6. TOTGA
7. P
8. HH

well audience impressions is the measurement in millions of how many people (overlapping allowed) are exposed to a song via radio each week

so 0.118 = 118,000 people heard the song on radio during the week

pretty lame

#1 songs usually get ~130 to ~160 AI

callout scores are the feedback scores that radio gets back after playing stuff

audience impressions has nothing to do with callout scores

audience impressions

AI is 0.118

pathetic since billboard jumped on the rumour last week

it also isn't even in the iTunes top 1,000

Peacock went #1 on Hot Club Dance Airplay; so radio already knows it's a safe track to play [there is an edit that removes the repeat after the 1st peacock each time]

lots of weird stuff because some of the team wants the era over, katy herself wants HH, radio wants Peacock, and the top execs threw out the rumour to billboard of ToTGA to see if any stations would jump on without an adds date or confirmation

etc...

I can take it away just as easy.

:mad079: consider yourself spoiled

It may or may not happen actually.

Lots of weird stuff going on with her label atm

............ :'(

I don't (and I can respect that it's not your cup of tea), but I thought you might still go for it J:

Oooh Casey Novak. You've got good taste Spelt :wink:

But I also watch it for the plot (inb4plotjoke)

=futurama, big -family guys(i just don't know why I hate that show so much), =charmed, =fairly legal, +how I met your mother, +big bang theory, BIG +house

Law and Order is nice too yeah?

What other shows do you like Spelt.
