1D are only selling maybe a couple hundred more copies than Emeli already? this time tomorrow, OVOE may already be outselling MM. They're frontloaded fads.
Talent prevails in the country that knows talent the best.
I mean yes, there's nothing new under the sun. But she brought it to the mainstream, and it couldn't have been a more brilliant strategy and marketing plan.
Gaga brought ABSOLUTELY nothing new with ARTPOP, not marketing-wise, not when it comes to the quality, "artistic content", visually, musically, nothing
She attempted to bring "modern" "art" to the mainstream, Marina's "performance" art, Koons' brightly colored metallic objects. She was somehow under the impression that people don't care about these things because they don't know about them. While in reality people just scratch their heads at some woman sitting in a chair and they are not impressed by kindergarten sculptures.
Only the surprise digital-only release was incredible, and the reason it even passed 1.5 million in total sales. The music is nothing new, only one interesting song (Haunted), the only thing people like about it is that it's so filthy, the old "sex sells". So desperate for success that she turned to that old trope. Katy delivering yet another era of smash hits was much more difficult to achieve. She and Emeli have been by far the most impressive pop girls in recent times.
Katy''s success is not surprising or impressive in the slightest. She reminds me of playing Tekken against someone who keeps repeating the same low-kick over and OVER and OVER again, and manages to win every time. It's like legal cheating.
tbh. I feel like our disinterest with pop girls comes from the fact that we stay centered on their every move. The reason we can look back and admire the past legends is cause we weren't there to witness the dry spells wrought with lack of creativity.
Frank tried but he couldn't! One hit wonder indeed. Bottoming can only get you so far in the industry these days.
Miguel has also had singles with Mariah Carey, Big Sean, and Janelle Monae recently! Being a maid for the Carter's doesn't really seem to be helping Frank's career.
This is why recurrent airplay really doesn't matter.
+ the numbers are always so small. One big station could just play one of those once, and it'd have the top audience off that 1 spin if enough listened.
Airplay is tricky. It all depends on the format that's reached by the population.
One song could be played in one area 15 times in one day and receive 0.350 AI and another could be played once on say KIIS FM and receive 1.8M AI.

At least he doesn't have to jump jump over some random girls for attention
