Why do you think Katy Perry has no Grammy at all, besides having 9 nominations with just 2 studio albums? Do you think her moment to win one will come soon? Firework and the Teenage Dream era really deserved at least one Grammy, I suppose.
Also, do you think Katy can have another successful era like Teenage Dream? (5 #1s hits, 6 Top 10 hits, 2.5 million albums sold in the US). Not including the re-release.
i'm not a lady gaga fan but after reading some of your comments on her cheating the streaming system. It got me mad that you didn't mention anything about Miley, Taylor, or Justin who have also cheated the system to get a higher position on the chart.
i feel as though youtube/vevo streaming count should be taken off. Instead, only use stream counts from Pandora/ other reliable streaming methods. As artists and fans will continue to cheat the system and take away the number one position from artist who actually deserve it.

YouTube is a really important component in my opinion.
Hey Bill, thanks for taking the time to answer our questions.
So do you expect Rihanna is working on album 8 or any new material? Or will they still be releasing Singles from Unapologetic? What are your views on how she's been handling her career lately?
In your opnion, recently we've had many new artists breakout, with not many huge comebacks in quite some time.
Any artists you think can come back who's careers have stalled or fallen a bit? Not a comeback as just being away from the industry a bit like Gaga, Katy, but truly coming back like Mariah and Britney did with "Emancipation" and "Circus"?
I'm not answering questions in any particular order.
I haven't answered this one because I don't have much to say. Mariah is v in the category of "act I'll immediately pay attention to if something starts to happen." (Lots of respected performers in that same bucket). Beautiful came and went too quickly for me to wrap my head around it.
In general I haven't been excited since Mimi. But it isn't true that I'm not a fan, as someone posed in this thread. I was beyond impressed she was able to come back with Mimi. And Vision of Love was a special song for my first serious girlfriend. So lots of good will.
I see I finally got your attention (my post was intentional for me to get you to reply)
