Between the money LA REID wastd on Janets promo and now Mariahs 40+ million in promo, that has dictated to just 1+ million in sales in the US and not much more worldwide this time around, LA better watch his back, because he was the one who made a speech about "not wasting money" anymore

look at that!
naseating!

wtf?

lastdecember said:

he spent over 40 million on mariah's promo. and how do you know this. Any of this information????

and who are you to say he wasted money on janets when you can obviously see barely spent any.

lastdecember said:

at nearly 20 dollars a pop and not to mention im sure part of that 40 million comes out of here advance... they will recoup that.

TotalAlisa said:

He spent plenty, people just werent buying the image that was the "same ole thing". As for Mariah thats the number spent, i know this because some of the people that i once worked with in that forum still do what they used to do and they will give me insight on whats going down, whos spending what, when someone is coming out, and whos getting dropped.

I know people assume that when someones album doesnt sell "the label didnt spend money", incorrect. Its a wide forum when you add up the number of things a label gets you and what they spend money on. The first is video costs, the second they pay for your magazine time, they pay to advertise your album, they pay when it gets an ad in a magazine, they pay radio and video to play you. The also pay websites and retail outlets to sell your album, for space in their stores for your album, and things like posters and displays in stores, it all adds up. And then when you do crazy shit like LIGHT the empire state building in MIMI colors, that gets added to the bill, and it was paid by the label, so i know most people dont think of these things, but wehen an average music video costs about2-3 million to make and then you factor in all these other costs, the shit adds up depending on who the artist is.

I can't believe that Los Lonely Boys only sold 41,000 copies I think it's their best album yet.

TotalAlisa said:

Her album's been dead for awhile,hasn't it? I think she just released a new single but I don't think it's gonna make much of a difference.Her best bet is to do a kickass tour that makes alot of money.

Yeah, I was gonna say, Janet's been out of the Top 200.

Sales almost never show taste or quality of a record.
