What are 8 tracks?

And do you know much about the apparent gimmicks of Mariah's old #1's? Besides the discounting of Loverboy.

I think he's talking about this website (http://8tracks.com/), which is pretty cool to discover new music.

What are your thoughts on songs getting heavy spins on radio, despite not selling very well on iTunes? Like "Right Now" & "Take Back the Night." Should radio push for songs or use iTunes as a guide of what to play?

Hi, Bill.

Do you think Christina Aguilera's Lotus album is salvageable? The lack of promotion she put into the project during its release definitely hurt its performance (she never performed Your Body and Just A Fool never even got a video), but with an upcoming season of the Voice coming up, and potential singles like Let There Be Love (already a #1 on the Billboard dance chart) still on the album, do you think she could save it? Or is it too late?

I searched 8 Tracks and they were something ANCIENT used to play music in the 60's like CD's.

* Finds 1 8-Track with a Mariah Carey song, so she can debut at #1 next week*

I saw in the other thread that you love P!nk.

What do you think, why is she still successful after 13 years? And do you think she could pull off a less-mainstream non-pop album or would it be Try This again? I'd love to hear your personal and professional thoughts on that.

I love that Pink manages to be subversive and a little punk rock in the context of the pop form. She continues to be successful because she's a strong writer, she has been honest with her fans through good time and bad, and she brings an artistic conviction not a lot of other pop stars can match. She's brave in a way that isn't shtick or manufactured controversy. It was brave to perform that dance routine for Try - brave and beautiful. It was brave to spin suspended 50 feet in the air above the grammys - and it was completely awesome that she dripped water all over the suits below.
Any way. I could go on. I just think she keeps it a little realer than most in a world and age that needs more real.

Bill how do you feel about the cult mentality some artist form with their fans like say Gaga with her monsters? A good business plan to build loyalty or a bad one that might end up alienating the artist from commercial fans who dont want to carry the stigma of being seeing as that type of fan?

Aaliyah's "Try Again" spent 1 week at #1, being the first song in history to off just an Airplay Release.

On Hot 100 Airplay it spent 9 weeks at #1, had the song been released Physically to keep it up at play with the Airplay Chart and after the Airplay started falling how long do you think the song could've spent at #1?

Stir-fried greens, sesame noodles and carrot dumplings. #vegan

[Staryu]

Bill, do you think Christina Aguilera will ever make a chart comeback? Do you think Your Body would have been more successful with the new streaming rules?

Lol. Yes. I was joking. Are we allowed to do that here?

[Giacobbe]

Bill, is it true that Katy sold 544k copies of "Roar" on iTunes alone last week? When will the HDD be posted?

Holy crap. A fellow vegan?!

Do you think is fair that digital albums and physical albums are the same price? I never liked buying digital albums or songs (I just do it because I like supporting my faves).
