What they don't understand, is social media followers are NOT a buying fan base. How come Ariana Grande has like 293838833828 followers and can't even go platinum in the US? Even with all those hits? How come Austin Mahone could get like 10 million views on his covers yet he's the definition of a flop? How come Shawn Mendes has like a massive array of fan girls following him on vine, YouTube, etc. and his album hasn't even sold 200k?? Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato are the most famous Disney girls at this point (behind Miley Cyrus obviously) and have MILLIONS upon MILLIONS following them on the Internet. Yet, their music flops every time.
The people that the industry are pushing are the absolute definition of mediocre. I personally think it's a HUGE reason why sales have dropped. The new "artists" are merely half-assed manufactured teenagers or young 20 somethings that don't have any star power or talent.

Gaga literally said this 5 years ago and nobody listened.
No wonder she's the last ICON we got.
