legend jomarr

im scared now

K let's get started.

I want to be in if there is space

GROUP 1: In Music, immense promotion is still mandatory to acquire good public awareness
GROUP 2: Putting so much effort into a promoting a product is a waste and doesn't generate too much public buzz.

If you don't get your name out there, your fans will have to do the work.
And based on my experience (see MTN promo week) this will hardly make a dent in the charts.

If an artist is constantly plastering links to their albums on iTunes or any special promotions they have with a store (see Taylor Swift and Justin Timberlake with Target), there is a greater chance for them to succeed.

I complain about Britney and Coldplay's lack of promo everyday

I think that Promo is important, on the other hand some hits of the past 2 years didn't have promo initially. We Are Young, Rolling in the Deep, Somebody that I Used to Know, Pumped Up Kicks all just created buzz on the internet then boomed. Adele for example went from an unknown person to a complete superstar overnight just because of the internet.

The internet is the best thing to happen in the music industry. Disregarding the high amount of illegal downloads, the musical knowledge of people went from a few artists to hundreds. Again, promo is important but isn't necessary all the time.

You're talking about performances and radio deal promo right?

Well, considering as of late it seems that many songs are just doing well with any lack of promotion but the GP's interest in the song. Ke$ha and Avril Lavigne who have been promoting their singles, but failed to make any dents on the charts are great examples of why promoting isn't always the best solution.

Artist like Ariana Grande who hasn't promoted her single "The Way" on any platform yet, has been steadily keeping its place on iTunes, sold 500k, and suddenly came out of no where. She has yet to promote anything.

Then there are cases like Macklemore who appeared out of no where also and is on his way to become a big star with his two number singles so far.

It always seems like the more in your face the artist gets the more they burn out faster.
