The hilarious thing is that 1D IS doing promo. They occupied ALL of the iTunes banners earlier this week, changed all of the songs in the "Hot Tracks" section to their album tracks, have four separate covers of the album being sold in retail stores across the nation, and have a hefty line of televised performances coming up next week.

Tf are they going about "no promo?"

That's barely promo, and you can say that's nothing compared to Bieber's non-stop promo for this album.

Are you guys serious?

You didn't get the memo? Only when it come's to Justin is it desperate to promote your work and create public interest.

I agree on that tho

The funny thing is that you could build upon all the promo you want but ultimately it's the peoples decision on whether or not they want to spend their money on the project.

He must be doing something right if he's scored a #1 single, a #2 peaking single, is possibly debuting w/ over 400k in sales, and is dominating the air-waves for radio, dominating streaming and Itunes.

Come thru Biebs.


Looks like he's getting the last laugh

You've clearly missed the point of it all. Doing all this promo is great, regardless of who it is. But when you have to discount your album in it's first week of release, that's when it's seen as being desperate.

It'd be a completely different tune if Justin had 4 albums covers and banners plastered all over iTunes (which isn't considered promo) and 1D were doing what Justin is doing

Oh wait, Justin has a discount?
So he is pulling a Born This Way?

Tragic

1D's album was discounted to $9.99 at Target, and whether you want to admit it or not.. The 4 album covers was an act of desperation. It was clearly put in place to generate more sales.

This isn't a competiton on whether or not who had the more desperate deals. The only fact you One Direction fans are failing to grasp is that their team is pushing for this #1.

But instead here you guys are acting they've done nothing.

Pfft please.

I don't think it's very fair to call it an act of desperation, when your fave is getting called desperate. You're only fighting fire with fire.

And most artists do discounts the first week anyway so

I believe they're talking about that discount for the concert

[Witch Privilege]

Let me go buy Alessia Cara's album, which is better than both of these, anyways.

No, sis. He was offering his album for an additional $4 if you bought a ticket to some show.

Justin had a "hangout" at the Staples Center, which was really a mini-concert. You could buy tickets for $18, I guess, and then pay $4 extra for the album, which counts towards his sells.

[Sheena]

Most of ''Purpose'' is sales are coming from Digital anyhow as stated in the OP and on Itunes you still have to purchase the album for $13 bucks. Those concert deals are only giving him a minor lift if anything.
