I literally just updated it 2 minutes ago.

I had to edit Lea as I forgot to put her as an act, in case it caused any errors.

I've also just started a new game using it too

Okay, those barriers look great, the only ones I didn't do was:

USA

B6: 45% (60%)

Canada

B6: 45% (60%)

UK

B6: 25% (55%)

Europe

B6: 40% (60%)


The only reason why, is because in real life, not many people from Australia or New Zealand break out into other territories.

I hope this is okay.

This is great, I mostly went soft of Oceania because of the low sales.

Mess I know, it's so difficult with Oceania

Well I've updated the database again with these new settings, hopefully I won't have to update it again any time soon

What do the barriers do? I never understood that

It's how easy/hard it is for an act to break into that territory.

If it's 0 it means super easy and will sell well. 100 means really hard, not impossible though.

B1 = USA
B2 = Canada
B3 = Latin America
B4 = UK
B5 = Europe
B6 = Oceania
B7 = Asia

So for USA - If you have B7 (Asia) set as 90% it'll be much harder for an artist from Asia to chart well in USA. (Supposedly anyway)

EDIT: Ignore this (Sorry, I am so drained from work)

It's the opposite actually. For USA, if you have B7 at 90% that means any and ALL artist from USA will do poorly in asia.

What?

Yeah, that's how it works. I did that before in one of my saves. If you set all the barriers to 0 in Asia you will see Asian artists ruling the charts. try it out and see.

EDIT: so basically all Asian based artists will do exceptionally well WW if the barriers are set to zero in Asia.

Wait oh my god - I just realised what I posted.

You're right. I was getting confused

Pilotrist got back together for a comeback tour and album, and then I think I'm gonna end the game and tweak some settings and start over. It's 2025 right now which is probably the farthest I've ever gotten

I think I'm on 2029 now.

Now that I'm finished with Danielle's 12th album "Vintage Blue" she's going to release a DVD to accompany the blockbuster album and then release a Christmas album aka her 13th album. No more touring. I plan to do vegas residency.

[Jackson]

The comeback album UN1TED did really well. It will probably end up selling around 7 million. It kinda flopped in the US and only sold a million there but slayed everywhere else. The lead single is one of the most successful of all time at least. Maybe I'll do a few compilations now before I end tha game. Also want to get one more era out of Lara Cito, her lead single just came out and became her highest debut in the US at #4. Her last era was a blockbuster success after the genre change and outsold her previous album by over two million and earned her a dozen grammy nominations and including a SOTY and ROTY win

[Hivy]

Vintage Blue is coming for 12M WW

Zero Dark is slaying so hard. They got only one #1 single in their 4th era though.
