No teasing,
You waited long enough.
Go deep,
Imma throw it at ya,
Can you catch it?
Don't hold back,
You know I like it rough
Know I'm feeling ya, huh
Know you liking it, huh
Rihanna is more popular as a person and as a brand.
Katy's singles are more popular than Rihanna's.
I'd probably take the former as there's little money in just singles and whatnot nowadays.
And yet Katy just made $135M dollars pre-taxes, more than any year in Rihanna's entire career and over five times as much in the same time period?
Love you, but Katy's brand is bigger and worth more than you think now.
Wtf...WHY does Ellie's label believe she's becoming an actual major Pop Girl?
US Arena tour, including date at Madison Square Garden. New album is $20. Did her label forget nobody cares about her??
Her album is already bombing, her tour will inevitably bomb (the thought of Ellie filling MSG ), and On My Mind isn't even shaping up to be huge. It'll be a moderate hit.
So why you standing over there with ya clothes on,
Baby strip down for me,
Go on take em off
Don't worry baby,
Imma meet you half way,
Cause I know you wanna see me
Speaking of Halsey, I liked Popjustice pointing out her many contradictions in their interview.
Quote:
So the mainstream media as we understand it at the moment is irrelevant to you?
Yeah, I couldn’t honestly give a ****.
Why are you doing interviews then?
Because I do want to open my awareness and I do want people to—
But if the media are irrelevant…
It’s still an entry point. I think the media’s opinion is irrelevant, but I think my presence in it is important. My presence is an entry point and I think that’s important because obviously I want to have as many people be a part of this as possible.
Okay, I just did the Imagine Dragons tour for two months. I was playing arenas in the United States and I was playing to a very sterile audience. I was playing to an audience who knows who Imagine Dragons are because they have radio hits. I wasn’t playing to a group of people that are into their own discovery of music, or into discovering music for themselves or curating their own taste. Obviously they have a very dedicated fanbase and there are a lot of people that are die hard for them and discovered them on their own. When you get to an arena standpoint a lot of those people are there because they are casual fans. I walk out, I’ve got short blue hair and I’m playing to conservative America like, ‘is she gay? I don’t get it. She’s singing about guys but she looks like a lesbian’. I’ve got this song that’s about how this new generation’s accepting of diversity, accepting of different walks of life etcetera. No one ****ing understands it.
For me, the media is very much like playing shows to arenas. There’s 20,000 people there. I don’t really give a **** what they think about me but it’s an entry point, because if one thousand kids walk away from that show and they like me, then I did my job. And if the other 19,000 walk away going, ‘I don’t really get her’, that’s fine too because I was still myself and it was still an entry point. That’s what it really comes down to for me.
"With 2.1 points higher than the second place Adam Lambert and Queen, Rihanna had the show with the highest audience of RIR. In third place was Katy Perry, also a pop artist, with 4.7 rating points.”
And yet Katy just made $135M dollars pre-taxes, more than any year in Rihanna's entire career and over five times as much in the same time period?
Love you, but Katy's brand is bigger and worth more than you think now.
She just has never felt as big to me. Maybe it's because I'm into the fashion world (of which Rih definitely DOES dominate Katy).
