In support, Kesha has submitted an affidavit from Jim Urie, who was president and CEO of Universal Music Group Distribution from 2003 until this past January. He agrees that without an injunction, her career is toast. "No mainstream distribution company will invest the money necessary to distribute songs for an artist who has fallen from the public eye, as is happening to Kesha at this very moment," he says. "Accordingly, if Kesha cannot immediately resume recording and having her music promoted, marketed, and distributed by a major label, her career is effectively over."
Kesha herself has submitted an affidavit that repeats her story of her decade-old relationship with Dr. Luke, plus adds some new allegations. They met after she turned 18. She says that on one occasion, they went to a party and she had drinks. Later, he allegedly gave her a "sober pill," and Kesha says she woke up later in his bed.
In her latest affadavit, she also says that he "took credit for songs he didn't write, for a television show he didn't actually produce" and on one occasion after he allegedly decided Kesha wasn't a good enough lyricist, he had Will.i.am write a verse for her to sing. "I know I cannot work with Dr. Luke," she says. "I physically cannot. I don't feel safe in any way."
WHO does that? Man, the general public does not do that, they play the songs that they like. Considering that digital sales are dead, spotify is the most accurate place of all to know if a song is a hit (big or small).
I'm sorry but you are living in the past.
yeah but even then it's much easier for an album to dominate (as we see with weeknds) cause you can play the entire album on rotation where as before it would only be the hit single.
its not bad i guess it just totally changes what success looks like

Poor Tity and MJ their record i guess
or you can release different versions of your album as a collectible and have all your 14 year old tumblrinas buy 20 copies to get the full pack
there are many different ways to manipulate the numbers!
Diplo is such an angry, untalented idiot
I love the dummies like him and Runt Weaver that get mad about a P4K review.

If streaming "makes it easier for albums to take over" (? idg what this even means)
then explain 1989 being the biggest album we've seen in a few years...
Spotify cheating is definitely a thing though. Italian singer Annalisa was caught faking her streams to get her singles certified. And Spotify is not doing anything against it.
She deserves so much more, smh.

Love her.
