Probably? Off to an amazing start. So much of getting a 1 is timing. In this case the question is, will blurred lines ever slow down.

That's too bad. I was going to give you the most amazing, detailed answer, too.

Basically, I was replying to your post about JT. And how I noticed people on Facebook thinking that 2 of 2 is the same as 1 of 2, because of the covers. I think this is a very risky move. How important do you think album covers are for an album's success?

Also, how will the charting and sales for 2 of 2 work? Will they be combined like The Fame/Monster?

I would never say anyone is done for good. Avril is huge in Asia so her career will keep going and she'll keep getting chances to reconnect in US.
That said, I thought her current single was strong enough to blow bigger, and it didn't. With all the change at epic, nor sure this is the right time? I pull for her comeback, fwiw.

Thanks! By current single you mean Rock N Roll and not Here's To Never Growing Up, I hope.
Rock N Roll is a smash, in my opinion, but like you said, with all this Epic change going on I don't think they can represent and promote her the right way.

I'm intrigued by Epic's move to release a music video first and the single 10 days later. What good can come out of it??
They should release both materials in the same way in order for her to chart higher, don't you agree?

Thanks

Also I didn't want to make this question but I really want to know why does artists/people inside the industry give Perez Hilton a chance. Does he really is powerful in some way in the industry? Like for example, we have seen him tear people apart everyday but the day he decides to say something somewhat nice about them they thank him and bla, bla, bla. I just don't understand how someone that has based his "career" on hating and bringing people down can be accepted in the industry. It's like they are really scared of him.

Also I know that he has tried to make a change in his attitude, but that to me seems like is just a PR move to try and clean his image.

Thank you !

Btw, I've never got something about Katy's re-release: Why does Billboard count the sales of The Complete Confection with the original (Teenage Dream) but not the singles sales?

I mean, it was specified when Part of Me hit #1 that he wouldn't count with the #1s from the original album (I don't really care about the record thing but I gotta admit i don't understand it).

Hey Bill, what artist influences the industry the most today?

5. Call Me Maybe

Blurred Lines, well, cause it's Blurred Lines. It will rank very very high on the next all-time list.
The rest of the list is based on the most recent All Time Hot 100 rankings in the order that they appeared.

Party Rock Anthem #6
We Found Love #24
Rolling in the Deep #31
Call Me Maybe #46

Although Blurred Lines will need a hell of a lot weeks in the Top 10 to rank higher than Party Rock Anthem, so #1 & #2 might get swapped. Party Rock Anthem spent about 29 weeks in the Top 10 if I remember correctly.

WFL is #24 on the all-time Hot 100?!

I had no idea PRA was #6 though but it makes sense - it spent 28 weeks in the Top 10.

Hello,! When will we get Rihanna's "Diamonds World Tour" European leg grosses? Please

[Sakamoto]

Hi Bill




I know you're well knowledgeable about the pop scene and music industry , you're the only one who can answer this question , Where does lady gaga stand in the Pop scene now compared to her contemporaries ?


thanks in advance (if you answer my question of course )

Do you think music video has a huge effect on the success of a song? And so far, in your opinion, which video is the best music video of the year? Eg: We Can't Stop, Applause, Rock N Roll....

Hi Bill,
Will Billboard post an article about Miley's "We Can't Stop" breaking the streaming record for most weeks at #1 [9 weeks]? Previous record was held by Baauer for "Harlem Shake" [8 weeks]

[Superbitch]

Good morning bill. Do you think the US has finally warmed up to Lana del Rey? Did you expect summertime sadness to become a hit?

[karma police]

Hello Mr. Werde,
I'd like to ask about your opinion on this Thom York statement:



Do you also think, that lack of 'good quality' music on the radio is 'forcing' people to search for alternatives? Or one has nothing to do with another?

I agree 250% Beyonce needs this.

Are you implying that Robin has the edge in upcoming weeks? 17 weeks @ #1?

Hello Bill,

What do you think of Zendaya's debut single (Replay)? And do you think she could chart high, like top 50, with that song?

[santos]

Bill What's your opinion on the Disney trinity?

[MonsterCroatia]

Do you know who Destinee & Paris are? If yes, what do you think about them, if no - Youtube them.
