Videos don't though. I said videos do boost sales (and I gave Telephone, Last Friday Nightm etc. as examples) but they're not as important as you think (no offense).
Pound the Alarm went top 10 in my country without a video!!
And here's my post if you don't believe me that I was right:

I used Telephone as an example, since it was the biggest video effect I've ever seen in my country. The song was hovering around #30-#40 on iTunes for a few weeks before, and then 2 weeks after the music video it shot to #1. That's the biggest, most songs don't get close to that effect from a video, if at all.
Last Friday Night had a big effect last year. It was like #20 on iTunes when the music video came out, and it got boosted close to the top.
I live in the UK, where most US artists aren't able to/can't be bothered to come to our country to do TV performances, and they still manage to have massive hits, so I guess I see it differently in that sense. Maybe it's different with TV performances in the US I guess, but in the UK they're not necessary at all. They're helpful of course, but lots of artists never set foot in our country and dominate the charts. |
so close to top 50!
