What's this $4 thing about?

[chris1991]

I don't get how justin is selling close to 500k. He is betting on bad publicity for these album sells. He is a major brat. Seeing how he is part of the generation that still has a tween fan base I guess it makes sence.

He's having concerts at 18$. If you pay 22$ you get the album too.

back in 70s-80s rock stars used to get a lot of bad publicity too. Now they are legends. It's usual for pop culture.

These arguments are so childish when will they end

I've streamed Logics album like 10 times. Only 4,990 more to go to get his prediction to 100K.

Right?! I actually agree with you. UAN was actually a fantastic album, every song was a bop unlike this crap they put out with MITAM. So them regressing isn't really complimenting them, is it?

omg stop ur killing me tbh

You did not compare Justin Bieber to rock legends.

Why not ensure some album sales that way?

These fans are obviously willing to spend their money on Justin if they are buying the tickets to his show.
And obviously the tickets cost quite a bit more than the album anyway.

4 dollars is just a loss of profit tho. that's how much it probably costs to package the album with all the materials and such. After Lady Gaga decided to cheat the system, Billboard implemented a rule that they would not count albums sold less than $3.49 so he's BARELY doing above the minimum. One Direction didn't severely discount their album, they're just letting their obsessive fan base flock to Target and Walmart to buy four different albums of theirs because each boy has their own cover. All those albums are at full price. At the end of the day, One Direction will have made more money off the album than Bieber even if they do debut at 2. At least it's not a borderline cheating number, I guess Bieber's team cares more about the chart position than the actual revenue generated from it.

That's why I sometimes wish album sales worked like the box office, none of these tactics would be implemented if it was.

$22 for a small intimate set (which must cost very little to host) as well as the album.

$22 instead of the average album sale is quite a big jump.
