Simple question:

Since ATRL seems to have all the answers when it comes to the music business, were you to get signed as a recording artist, would you consult ATRL as your exclusive marketing/promo/recording experts or stick with actual professionals?

I'd probably die from the stress shortly after

Absolutely not.

never

No one on this site can really be trusted


Absolutely not

Sure... if I wanted to flop. ATRL goes on and on about who should be doing what when nobody knows any of the BTS industry politics that led to things becoming the way they are. It's funny when you look at it that way tbh

There are a few members I think have generally good insight/analysis skill that I'd hire. I wouldn't hire them as a manager but I'd definitely hire them as an analyst to do some minor work. Most artists have full teams to do different fields (market research being one of them) which I think a few people could handle here.

I actually got a PM recently for a volunteer position but I need my coins

I would just get advice and pay tbh cause a lot of you on here always have good promo ideas.

There are some pretty good and informed people in the weekly charts threads that I would hire, yes. Maybe not as a manager, but if they were to ask for a position, I would consider.

No, because they'd tell me to release one song as a single, and then complain about me not releasing an obvious album cut a month later. I'd end up collapsing on the floor from the amount of SNL and jazz festivals I'd be forced to do to try and fit in all kinds of promo - only to be yelled at for "over-hyping my album"

There are some people on here that would be able to set up a great era, though.
I'd hire individuals, rather than making a collective team formed by all ATRL members.

I'd use ATRL, as a website, as a way to look at reactions among music fans about my music, but I definitely would not hire ATRL, as a person or group of people, to manage my career.

No. I'd want respect and longevity. Not quick 'n' easy generic radio hits that are forgotten the second they fall out of the top 20 of Billboard Hot 100.

I'd manage myself to be honest.

No, that'd be career-suicide. Absolutely not

No. I would be surely be dropped as soon as I didn't get a number 1 triple platinum single.

That and everyone's promo plan here seems to be the same plan no matter the circumstance or artist; different artists require different approaches.

Absolutely these. I've actually thought something like this before. Like if I was an artist I'd definitely see what people are saying about my music and if they're loving it or not.
