Bill, do you think pop (or radio in general) is ready for a new fresh-faced dominant force? I've been into Wynter Gordon lately. Do you know of her and do you think she has potential?
I detest gimmicks. We usually catch and shut it down if it's against the spirit or letter of our chart rules. And if somehow someone got away with it. .. What a hollow and pathetic win.
Would last minute 69 cent discounts and last minute remixes with rappers fall under these gimmicks? What about repression?
Hi Bill! Could you confirm if Taylor actually sold one million downloads during the Christmas week of 2012? Billboard didn't make an article, but Nielsen data showed she did. Thanks!
OK so let's talk about the twitter drama regarding Applause's views right now. Please be specific, what exactly did she do that has you "disappointed?" The link in her tweet is to the video's VEVO page. I'm completely failing to understand why streaming rules are being changed on the fly.
Sorry, one more: do you think Christina Aguilera has another hit album in her? Everything was lining up perfectly for Lotus: Moves Like Jagger had reintroduced her to Pop radio, The Voice was a perfect promotional platform, Max Martin is as close to a surefire hitmaker as it gets...but it still all went wrong.

I think she retweeted a fan who posted a playlist full of Applause vids. But she didn't know. Then she deleted it and posted the actual video.
