Universal revenue down 9% - Gaga to blame?
Quote:
Lady Gaga’s “ARTPop” album last fall certainly didn’t give Universal Music Group any pop.
Gaga’s fourth-quarter flop helped cut Universal’s revenue in the period 9.3 percent,
the company said
in a report Tuesday.
For the year, Universal Music’s best-selling albums were from EMI’s Katy Perry and Interscope’s Eminem.
UMG reported a 75 percent jump in subscription and streaming revenue, though it didn’t break out a number.

Not Dark Horse Katy Perry slaying unexpectedly as Universal's top female artist.

And this is from the New York Post, too. So there is some grain of
truth to "ARTPOP" having a 25 million dollar loss, after all. Interesting.

Most of the most pirated albums are the more popular albums though.

No, the source is clearly someone from the NY Post doing an analysis on the state of universal.
