Definitely not. That's never coming back. Movies will eventually take the streaming plunge as well. Hollywood is a bit tougher than the music biz on that front though.

 

Streaming seems like it'll be even bigger than sales when it's all said and done.

Because the boost mostly comes from the movie promo and music video itself  

A duo with two popular Poptars, the same video uploaded to 3 different VEVO accounts to maximize views, discounted song on iTunes, acoustic version released and everytime the trailer of the movie comes they play the song... And it is a popular movie as well, it's not like we're talking about an indie film, so, yeah, I don't see what's the issue with Gaga discounting...

There's nothing wrong with discounts. Plus, this is like the only time Taylor has ever had a discounted song. I'm just glad to see three songs are predicted to do over 100k.

Don't think so but streaming arguably saved the music industry 

Lady Gaga team is so stupid.

 

Apparently, JOhn Wayne is coming to VEVO not this friday, but next. She didn't perfrom that song on Superbowl, she is performing it with metallica (rumour has it), but still video will be a week later. So many stupid decisions.

 

Te only good scenario would be:

1 perform it at superbowl

2 release video after sb on apple

3 release video on vevo on friday

4 perform on grammy

That would've been the case if it's the 3rd single, but they're still pushing MR so no reason to give JW single rollout.

John Wayne was substituted by Million Reasons on Hot Tracks (Gaga has now another banner for JW video). Her team is so efficient tbh

Love On the Brain is the top non-discounted female track on iTunes.  -ft/duca

it would be interesting if gp/radio will give JW the same treatment as MR.. hope its a decent top 10 hit..

"Believer" again Top 5 and they never left Top 10 since they crack it. So happy for them!
