What's awkward is I didnt plan for Wonder to be a WW single; US only and ergo didn't put it on my Greatest Hits album. Dark Horse indeed

Why aren't you allowed to pick the producer by yourself in Road 2 Success? The game says that you have no control over which producer is picked. That seems pretty stupid.

ddddd

teach me how to slay tbh


(Did you input these yourself, or did they finish the real world edit data?)

Wait let me start playing this game

Okay **** this. I copied the data.vdb files in case I flop, and created a new one. Gonna go full on editor with my label #PopIndustry and sign like 10 relevant girls/my faves atm and make maybe like 10 songwriters + producers too.

Just imported Katy Perry

I just made an artist and she's slaying so hard.

Debut album sold over 7 million copies, $200 million grossing tour, countless awards and a flop single that Latin America and Europe did not use. But oh well she's global she's a beast in Asia.


Guys question, how do I increase album sales in editor? I think US and UK sales should be higher.

I added all of the artists myself. In terms of the albums and songs, they were created by the game. I started my artists off with no albums or songs, and just went through the normal "New Record" process in the game, and then renamed all of the songs to match their corresponding albums and released them in order. I also enabled them to be able to produce and direct for themselves and other artists, which helps keep the quality up.

The sales are extremely dependent on budget and promotion. If you give them the highest advertising budget possible, they will easily sell millions; even if it's a new/flop artist. And make sure to promote them (using the "Schedule Media" feature under Activities) during the week of and after release (albums and singles). I only focus on promoting in the U.S. and Canada, as the other countries don't really depend on promotion and singles fall down the chart every week (scheduling promotion will give it a temporary boost; I've had times where a single debuts at #80 in the UK or Latin America, and would usually drop off by the second or third week, but by scheduling promotion a couple of weeks later, it usually jumps up to the top 30). Also, schedule promotion for an album a month or so after it's been released, and it will jump back up the charts. Honestly, you can promote any album that is still charting (sometimes, even after it has fallen off; as long as it's their latest album) and it will increase in sales dramatically. That's the key to keeping an album on the charts for several years (B'Day is still charting after 160 weeks ).

Tours are useless in MWR2. You don't make any money off of them once your artist has earned enough money through sales to pay off their advance. The tour is more or less there for show.

I started my label off with $200 million, and am up to $688 million now. I spend a ton on promoting my artists, and almost always earn it back.

YAY thanks!

I've put in artists/songwriters/producers and i'm away to start

*inb4 i still flop*

Are you sure about touring?

I have my new artists do a massive "debut promo tour" and their popularity sky rockets then I release their music and they always sell well that way. I tried doing it with no tour and just had them release and they didn't even scrap 100k worldwide. Touring seems a great way to keep popularity stabilized right before release causing huge debut sales and coupled with promo after to keep things afloat.

You're right. I forgot to mention that it did help when I had new artists. I dropped all of my artists, aside from Beyonce, Katy, Gaga and Rihanna, and their popularity remains between 90% and 100% in all countries, so they don't really benefit from it. But if you have newer artists, or any artist with below 80% popularity, it helps.
