Dang. I thought they only get their $ from album sales and single sales.

normally yeah but since those sales are tanking the labels do this so they make more money. as pop pop said the label generally takes better care of u if ur in a 360 deal, as they stand to gain from your success.

Makes sense. Do you know if Knee and Taylor are on 360 deals?

Dalai was really robbed again. I mean It was no Y&B but the competition was so **** it shouldn't have mattered

[Pop pop123]

Well, she's not perceived as a fraud not anymore at least after UV. A lot of critics respect her again and honestly that was the intention of UV.

I wouldn't say UV a flop it sold very well with amount of promo it got. Lana also canceled a bunch of promo spots for unknown reason.

"The label says, 'We're not going to give you the budget to extend this session unless we hear something.' And we send them the rough mix and they ****ing hate it and they hate the way it's mixed. And it's like, 'Thanks, asshole.'… I think Lana put her foot down. Maybe it's normal for her, but it's not normal for me. Really rubbed me the wrong way. I got really defensive because I thought it was ********.

"The story I got told," he continues, "is that they played it for her label person and they said, "We're not putting out this record that you and Dan made unless you meet with the Adele producer.

Well Lana, I'm sad to say you made the wrong decision. I personally don't like UV.

360 deal

As the record business evolved from eight tracks and records to compact discs and digital downloads, record companies had to evolve their business model to make money off of the changes in technology. With record sales on a downward spiral, record labels are on a continued search to find more streams of revenue. A new opportunity arose with the creation of “360 deals.” 360 deals are contracts that allow the record label to receive a percentage of the earnings from all of an artist’s activities rather than just earnings from record sales. 360 deals, also called "multiple rights deals," are contracts where the record labels earn a percentage of the artist’s ancillary rights. Ancillary rights may be the earnings made from: concert revenue, merchandise sales, endorsement deals, and ringtones. In exchange for receiving a larger percentage of the money made by the artists they represent, the labels say they will commit to promoting the artist for a longer period of time and will actively try and develop new opportunities for them. Essentially, the record label will serve as a manager and look after the artist's entire career rather than focusing only on selling records.

While this concept potentially solves some of the revenue woes of the record label, what about the artist? For a new artist the 360 deal is like a “double edged sword.” A “hungry” artist would love to be signed to any major record label; but if you have to include the label in on additional income you make, an artist is putting more money in the label’s pockets than in their own bank accounts. However, if you look at the success of pop artist Lady Gaga, an artist with a 360 deal, she may not have been such a success without the labels’ involvement in her career.

It's for chart hungry hoes which are pretty much every mainstream hoes.

''Sugar'' is terrible, even ''Animals'' was better, and of course Godryan's song, ''Maps'' was a masterpiece

[Pop pop123]

Sugar is **** but I love the video.

[BobBertran1992]

''Feelings'' should have been a single if they wanted and upbeat track and ''My Heart Is Open'' would be good way to end this era

[MusicTalker]

Agreed, Maps is way better than both Animals and Sugar.

I remember seeing a picture of Lorde celebrating drinking champagne (hers was water) at Universal Music Group headquarter with a bunch of men in suit after Royals did well or Grammy noms i forgot.

If that's not manufactured i don't know what is.

You will never find a pic of Lana with the Labels people. It baffles me when Lorde is the more "authentic" one. It's funny how the media can make u perceive certain things. A lot of people fell for it.

Has she even one award (that isn't credited to Cedric Gervais)?

She has two BRIT awards and an Ivor Novello one. I don't think that's bad.

Lorde was a plant, her rise was all manufactured. You look closely at the story, and holes the size of Brit's coochie appears.

So true. I think Lana herself is definitely a carefully crafted persona, but ironically she seems very anti-label.

The plastic-fantastic brand of manufactured pop star is so much more fun than the authentic artistes makin real muziks.

[hairofglory]

Who are these men in suits and how do you become one? I wouldn't mind crafting a Gaga 4.0.
