You know, when I was in the shower, I was thinking - Lady Gaga in and of herself is a multi-billion dollar industry. FAME made a billion dollars alone. Her tours are over $400 mill easily and she's grossed a bare minimum of like $500 million from recorded music. Then you have other endorsement deals, you have merchandise sales both regular and on tours, you have physical singles shipments, you have collabs and writing credits, sample and cover royalties... so yeah.

You really forget how much she's accomplished in such little time. It really is astonishing

I'm sure she has but he's always gotten a cut of that check by her releasing through KonLive. I'm sure that his recent responses have something to do with him and vincent/Tamar Braxton not getting along or something. But I know Gaga probably felt something behind it too. It seems people do only want to ride her coattails when she's hot and on the trendy side. Glad the video in a subtle way exposes her feelings on that.

Ugh she has me stanning full time again god damn it well I'm sure she's not the only pop star with really ****** people behind her. At least now despite the crap era so far we're on the right track. Things are going pretty well plus we have Roseland to look forward too and then the tour

How long does the ad have to be to give the streams a boost?

At least 30 secs

[Retro]

And I mean, following up on my last post, none of her contemporaries have done that and made their brand worth so much yet. None. The only three pop girls I can think of that ever have are Beyonce, Britney, and of course Madonna. Gaga is really still in a league of her own.

I think she's just one of the ones not comfortable with being used. Others who don't seem as involved seem perfectly fine with being used. If that works for them, then so be it. Trying the same formula with Gaga, the one that might have worked in 2008, isn't going to work today. It is going to be interesting to see what happens down the road

Does it have the option to skip?

15 second ads don't. 30s do I believe. Dope benefitted from it though so I'm sure she'll be fine.

[Buddy!]

Could we be looking at some Dope chart streams?

Yeah she let people use her at the beginning but she needed to establish herself so its normal its a shame that these people probably think Stefani is stupid or they can take advantage of her finances. I'm glad she is shedding light on the industry and how ****ing ugly it can be

[nick4bty]

Imagine if Interscope finds some way to make that ad count toward streams and she goes #1 with like 20M streams

[Liberdade mi amor]

Let's monitor the views, if it starts rising even faster, then yes.

[Cyanide]

Why isn't the G.U.Y ad 2 minutes long and without a "Skip Ad" option?

[OurLuckyStrike]

Wasn't Dope the entire performance? ()

And it had a skip button so...
