i think he should move into another record label

Hollywood Records?
From Wikipedia "Hollywood Records is an American record label owned by The Walt Disney Company focused in pop and rock music."

Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, etc etc etc....and Jesse is the only R&B artist. He needs a promotions in BET or something just like what Justin Bieber, JT or Robin Thicke did

I hope he'll move to Columbia records, but many people from UKMIX said that Interscope is a good label aswell. So, definitely between the two

[vinnnie]

Is there any rumors of breaking with his label? Jojo just did it!

[Departure]

Yeah Departure had so much potential too. I don't get it though. How does switching Record Labels do anything?

He did so many radio interviews, so many TV apperances (with live performances) and so many concerts around the USA.

How would switching labels make people go out and buy his album? I was surpised actually by how much promotion he got with Departure. It was not typical of Hollywood Records, I think it was because Jesse did it his own way, he kinda grew apart Hollywood's wishes and did his own thing without permission.

How does someone like Lady Gaga sell so much on her first week and Jesse sell so little when they promote the same?

I think it's cause of the "Gay" icon thing. How many gay people worship Jesse? Not many. They think of Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. Jesse McCartney is more of a teenage girl thing. =(

^but i think they should promote Jesse to Urban more, like sending the singles officially to Urban radio or something like that. I mean if Justin Bieber could sell +130k in the first week, why not Jesse?

Talking about Jesse, It's Over was a huge hit here in my country. No only girls, even boys listen to his songs, but they're prefer his older Pop/Rock songs though

Justin Bieber did so well because of the frickin' teenage girls. Justin Bieber pulled a Beautiful Soul era.

All the girls gobbled up his cuteness. Thats really the only reason why he did so well, because they envy his cuteness.

Then Jesse changed his look, his haircut and look what happened. Lost his fanbase. Just shows they used him for his looks. I feel bad for Jesse

Jesse isn't that heartthrob guy he used to be when he first came out. You need that "heartthrob" status to do well, I guess. I feel Justin Bieber will follow the same path if he changes his look/sound.

And One Time has crossed over to Urban radios. I've heard it before and I was shocked.

^lol i think people should focus to his talent more than his looks, or maybe it's Jesse who's just an album artist. Leavin, HDYS & Body Language did so well on radio, and not only appeal to female audience especially since Ludacris was on HDYS, but still the album is struggling to reach 300k

[Departure]

I know right

Jesse's fame all relied on his HeartThrob looks. He lost that though. Do girls go GAGAGAGA over him now? No. He's not as hot anymore. He's cute, but not hot. I wouldn't even put him under the HeartThrob status anymore. He needs to grow his hair back again. I miss it

I was so pissed when he cut his hair off. But anyways, talent over looks. But look at Susan Boyle. Why did she do well? She's so fugly

But I honestly think that's why Jesse got his fame and popularity. Justin Bieber is probably going to fall in the same path, cause he's a good talented artist too. My World is a great debut!

^lol i don't like his straight hair it's too heartthrob-ish, i'm a boy though so i don't really care about that haircut thing. I only care about the flop of his career lol

[Departure]

straight hair?

You mean long or short? You don't care about his hearthrobish look? lol. =P

That's good you care more about his flop career than his flop looks =P

[abi]

^long brownish-yellow hair

[Departure]

LOL

How did I know this thread was gonna die when I left to celebrate Christmas?

Anyways, I hope this sells well on iTunes and he goes far in his career. He's on his 4th album which shows a lot! Not even Christina Aguilera got that far with her career.

And again, I don't know why I decided to bring her in here lol, whoops!

[vinnnie]

^

Christmas is the best hollyday in all year.

[Departure]

Yeah, it is.

I love this album, it's so good!

Jesse hasn't lost much IMO. His sales are just following with the times. Since he never really had a fanbase to begin with, or a major name, his sales get lower quicker.

The reason I don't agree is because "Leavin'" was huge, and "How Do You Sleep", "Body Language" were Top 40 hits. "It's Over" did decently, though it probably would've done better had a video come not 3 months after it was released. With that, all of them hit Top 40 radio as well. This shows he is notable at least.

But his albums don't sell because he was never a big artist who sold anyways, so he's basically a singles artist.

I agree with the thread starter also. If he was marketed to the Urban area a bit more, it could get him even more recognition. NOT MUCH, but it would help. I'm excited that the new album is more R&B since I love "Into Ya" and a few other urban friendly tracks on Departure.

Wow. Can I have a DL link for this? I'm interested.

[Departure]

Oh I still got to upload this for that person. Sorry

I just been working everyday. Haven't really had time to do it. Probably tomorrow I can, it's my day off =)

[abi]
