The Random Thought Thread

Re: The Random Thought Thread

Some artists do still sell music though - the US top 50 gives a less than accurate picture of the music industry.

Is the CD declining? Of course. However, I think the key to CD's continuing on in some form for some years yet is reducing the price and making album releases a less frequent experience (for e.g. an artist shouldn't need to release a new album every time they have new music).

No one buys music anymore, it's all about merch (and I count vinyls under merch)

It's all about touring, but that market quickly gets oversaturated IMO.

Re: The Random Thought Thread

Because people do not want albums... I agree that would be nice but the market would still be restricted.

I do think bundles are good for older artist (anyone thats over 40 nowadays), since radio will not support them.

I don't get why artist don't do album bundles though like they did in the 90s.?.?
-"Buy my new album, and get my previous album for only $4"
-"Get 3 of any albums for only $15"
-" Get my previous album, and previous tour dvd with new album for only $16"

charts are useless these days

Very.
No one can sell. Streaming is a hot mess. There are bundles everywhere.

How about the new RIAA certifications, which pretty much invalidate whatever usefulness that thing might have had in the past...

Tours and festivals is where it's at

Pitting women against each other thing is getting really old. Both Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are great rappers and they've released good albums.

Sometimes the outburst comes from these females.

All-be-it in the UK

^Depending on the region of the US, you will hear something more like al-bite in many places I think technically yes it’s more like al-be-it (although it be) but even native speakers mess it up so much that it’s hardly ever bothered to be corrected

Idk about the UK

O.M.G

I just heard, for the first time ever, how albeit is pronounced. All this time I said it like al-bite when it was al-be-it. I feel betrayed by English yet again. It has never crossed my mind it was pronounced like that. Ever.

[Erotica]

Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Kesha, Ariana Grande . . .

. . . Who will win the Grammy first?

I think Ariana, but I would give Katy or Nicki a Grammy

[Eamon]

I’d like to see Nicki win a Grammy before any of them. She’s talented and had some great songs over the years. But I do think Ariana probably will be first.
