a ****ing mess. rise remains an embarrassment to her discography
Perhaps this had less to do with Frank Ocean, and more to do with Rise… falling?
(It may also give us a clue as to why Britney Spears’ new record – not a UMG release – didn’t end up as an Apple Music exclusive after all last week.)
Drake’s experience proves that certain megastars don’t necessarily need Spotify’s enthusiastic support to release global chart hits in 2016.
Katy Perry’s experience, however, suggests that certain other megastars – let’s be honest, pretty much all other megastars – almost definitely do.
I think she'll be fine by the time KP4 rolls around, but I feel like she'll have around the same impact as Britney right now if not less, which is fine, but a far cry from the pop radio DOMINATOR she once was.
My friend, a MASSIVE Katy stan and saw her VIP in Guangzhou, can't stand "Rise" and keeps saying how disappointed in her he is.

Another one for our list of excuses for Rise's chart run

Every time a superstar like Katy Perry strikes an Apple Music deal, they risk being downgraded (in playlists; not search) in front of around 120m people.
Am kinda glad this happened with Rise, imagine the lead single getting blackballed by Spotify.
I kinda think they used a big artist to prove their point and show those labels who rules the business right now.
Not to sound too delulu tho but if the CEO of UMG had to act personally and end this exclusives nonsense there must be some truth to it.
• "Last Cry" is a beautiful ballad and is going to be on the record
• There's a song called "Girls Club" that's "fire"
• "Spirit Survives" is not a song title but part of lyrics
• The album title is 2 words
I trust this account because they said the "Victory" snippet was the same song as "Rise" and it's pre-chorus (which turned out to be true)

Last Cry is an old ass song from Fingerprints/OOTB sessions. There's no way she's revisiting that
Woo she really did pull the stupidest stunt with that Apple Music exclusive deal since... lord knows what.
That Spotify party she hosted gave me hope she saw the true leader in streaming and then she pulled that ****. Hate her for it.
Right? I thought she hosted that party to make sure they spam her on all playlists and then she pulled something more stupid than the Birthday video. Shook.
