Of course labels have control. How much money you think Columbia lost on 4's promotion? She is indebted to her label and Pepsi right now because they aren't getting back any returns in their investment in her.
Bey gets most of her royalties/publishing (not her label) and Pepsi sales have plummeted since her endorsement. The pressure for commercial success on her is large right now.
waiT, so DWYW with the preorders boost is gonna sell less than Dark Horse (which received the preorder boost the week Walking on Air was released)
LadGa honey.... just retire already
YAS @ Stand Your Real Sex. I wonder what all the pop girls' sex lives are like.
I wonder if Brinty eats cheetos (or shows any emotion) during sex? And does Beyst let Jay grab her weave when they're going at it? Does Rihanna know what a condom looks like?
