Also, I wouldn't really count it as "disrespect" since Jay-Z only shipped 1 million copies through Samsung and sold absolutely 0 copies. The good news is he still sold more than enough to debut #1 on the BB Hot 200..

im srry i thought this was the ask bill thread not ask eternium

he's said it before, because the fans didn't pay for the music, Samsung did

[Sloth]

Any disrespectful posts or ratchet like behavior will result in thread bans. As I once always said, "KEEP IT ALL THE WAY CUTE."

And oh can we get some Victoria Justice's sales stats?

And also K-Fed's Lose Control. As well as JC Chasez's Schizophrenic.

Hey Bill how do you feel about the state of the music industry right now as opposed to 20 years ago? What changes do you think need to be done and what steps do you think artists should take to implement them?


Welcome to ATRL by the way.

Hey Bill, first of all i want to say that you have the best job one could possibly have and that i'm so jealous

secondly

-Do you know anything about Beyoncé's new project? Can we expect something before 2014?

-What is in your opinion Beyoncé's position in pop music? How influential / powerful is she in your eyes!

-Beyoncé or Rihanna?

Bill, do you think Hip-Hop & R&B will ever rule the charts again in the way that they did in the mid-2000s?

[DanielMnstr]

All those Nostradamus type of question of "Will this smash?", "Will that be a bigger era?", "Is X over?", "Will Y have a comeback?".....


This is such a great opportunity to ask Billboard insider type of questions, chart insight, Billboard decision making process, future plans etc, but the girls don't really understand who this person is and keep asking the most pointless questions ever... sigh..

Some people here are just .......as if he can predict the future . Why on earth does it matter what artists he likes? They are clogging up space with this mess. Most of the posts in this thread truly are embarrassing.

Hi Bill, PLEASE answer the question about why radio has such a disproportionately large impact on Chart positions when it really shouldn't...

Radio, as many have said, is definitely not a corruption-free place (using that term loosely, you get my point) when it comes to what songs they choose to play and what they boycott.


Sales and Spotify streams should really make up the largest chunk, followed by youtube.
IF people want to hear a song, they dont wait around to hear it on the radio!

Also please stop complaining about the trolls in here. We'll take care of that. It only makes the thread even messier.

Dear Bill,

What's your favorite Whitney Houston album and song?

Her first album.
And "I will always love you" remains one of the greatest recorded vocals of all time.

He listed her as one of his favorite artists way back at the start of the thread.

Since it got lost in all of the clutter, I'll repost:
