Success and "Cracking it" in the new model ....whatever that will be...under any conditions would mean putting asses in seats. Live draw is the bellwether of any successful act with very few exceptions over the last 50 years.
Nothing against this young girl, but I doubt anyone would book her. |

JKCB I am acknowledging it. But that's not the point itself.
It is the template I am talking about. How with a bit of wise promotion you can get
great results with the RIGHT song and video of course.
Just because it is a one off does not mean we can't learn from it.
JK had a career made of one offs. Not all his tracks were hits but then we don't get
to know about the ones that don't break. |

Jaded And Bored, you're not acknowledging that "Friday" is a one-off in their inventory of songs. None of their other songs are quite so ludicrous lyrically and therefore don't have mileage in terms of the ridicule factor. |

I really don't know where to start JK but then again you are very much part of the old guard
so I must bear that in mind.
82,000,000 views 82,000
87,000 sales
Percentage of 0.1% conversion.
If you have ever done any internet advertising for music you will realise this is actually a very good result, bearing in
mind the FULL version of the song is online for all to hear.
Compare that to how many ears will have to listen to a song before it becomes number one. Gee people really
can't see the woods for the trees. If the song was better or the artist was better you would be looking at Bieber like
success but still for an investment of $4000 a profit of hmm at least $56,000 and this is not a success in your eyes ?
Cynicism for the sake of it is really not cool. |

Far from a success J&B - if true - but my point is that this simply has not achieved what a "new model" would have made it achieve; let's be realistic; damn good job done but zero results in sales; zero crossover except for (limited) traditional press. Let's not fool ourselves - and let's learn from this. |
