miley cyrus dropped a 'surprise' album last night for her fans. no promotion

.

maybe the 'old ways' of promotion are becoming, well, the old ways...

.

She was hosting the gorram VMAs and thus that album was going to be all over the news. Meanwhile Prince couldn't be arsed to go to GMA to promote AOA & PlecElec when they had trailed his HUUUUGE announcement for days.



Yeah its a toally different ball park they 2015 they are at completely different ends of the spectrum, Miley is still Relevant to Pop music today and has a strong current following.



Same with Beyonce when she did it,



Prince only gets away with not really promoting his shows is because he plays Hits filled shows, which sell themselves to alot of people.

yeah no. my point that 'promotion today might be changing' still stands. moreover, no matter how many ugly, obsession driven remarks and attacks you make on the man, he is still head and shoulders above you and always will be. thanks for listening




That's debatable. I don't recall Bart ever releasing that wretched TCBU remix.

So once again another year has passed another album is coming. HitnRun was announced as a TIDAL exclusive release on Sept 7, with an unkown phsyical release date pending...

As usual PRINCE is doing nothing to promote his new album. There is no buzz around the general public and social media. I'm willing to say no one besides the people here even know or care if there's a new PRINCE album coming.

The only little promotion he's done was release TCBU Remix, two small interviews with Ebony and NY Post, and a very strange #tcbu hashtag that Tidal made on twitter where your twitter profile pic will be apart of the Prince TCBU meme cover...

So when it is released on TIDAL, and a future phsyical release, and the numbers and sales are horendous... Once again not only does it prove the problem with Prince and his promotion but what's even more scary is he will go more into obscurity to the general public wih his constant antics of not being involved with social media, youtube, and the removal of all his music and footage on the net...

Remember what Plectrum Electrum sold WORLWIDE... Under 33,000 copies.

Thanks.

He's doing a few interviews they're trickling in now. He's not going to bust his balls for a thrown together batch of songs tossed up on a hemorrhaging subscription service.

You're post #70 on page 3 of a thread started before the articles started to flow. You could let this go.
What?

Once again, shall we wait until the album is out there before making any judgements?

Waiting for the album to comment on the pre release promotion makes no sense

Prince could release his best album since Lovesexy and it would still sell like shit. He's never going to be a big seller again. Ever. The sooner Prince and his fans forget about album sales and just focus on QUALITY, the better. This obsession over sales is ridiculous.

I couldnt agree more. I used to think Prince was not concerned with sales but he blatant and embarrassing surge to capture the youth demographic - as evidenced by the grossly overrated band and Josh - has convinced me that he is not as unconcerned with the charts and popularity with the kids as I once believed.
