she just said on her insta live that she had to reproduce many songs with max martin because they weren’t pop enough and the label refused to fund them. and they delayed her single because they want it to go viral on tiktok

the label knows what’s up 

 

the song sounds terrible so i fear they were doing her a favour 

This viral anti-marketing marketing campaign now has been covered by:

• Daily Mail
• Rolling Stone
• METRO.co.uk
• variety.com
• people.com
• EW.com
• BuzzFeed
• NME

Give the marketing team a raise.

Anti-pop star becomes anti-marketer

All of this is a lie. Halsey is a liar. Watch her add another disorder to her list because of this.

I mean yes…. Obviously? She said she won’t be able to release the song unless it goes viral on TikTok.

So is she supposed to do nothing? She has a sizable enough stanbase to gain some traction with this. Plus we all know Capitol is kind of the pits with their anchor artists. 

 

The song was supposed to be out already so perhaps she's killing two birds with one stone here by providing the Little Frangipansters with an explanation + doing exactly what the label requested anyway by manufacturing a "viral" moment from a MQ clip

I am probably the biggest Halsey hater on this site and even I will admit you're spewing stupidity in this. There's so much that goes on behind the scenes and artists are more often monkeys or investments to labels vs. actual equals. It's easy to blame the artist or Halsey who is annoying af but maybe we should look at the system overall. It's a hard game. 

You guys are so weird. Read through the thread replies here and Halsey’s own comments on this. I know it’s embarrassing, but it’s okay to admit that the “anti-pop star” is playing the pop star game

165 mil including Closer and Eastside

Both those songs probably account for 30M at most and that's being incredibly generous. Where the hell is the other 130M coming from  Even if she has 70M units in the US... do people really believe she's such a global force she was able to amass over double that in foreign markets her music isn't even that big in

Her ass is so annoying. This is so obviously a stunt.

But - the leaps and bounds she has to go through to play the game . . completely reinforces my exact point: that we should go easier on these popstars vs. jumping down their throat (like you) for matters we don't know / aren't involved in  Yes, she's playing the game, but does that make it right? Lol

I didn't deny it was an anti-marketing campaign (in a meta sense) but I don't think she is lying or embellishing either. 

she keeps on going! 

 

 

 

points were made tbh

She's insufferable, istg  Label has obviously given her the OK to release the song, but they (Halsey included) are making this stupid stunt up to hype the song before release

Makes sense, I respect your opinions. I was mostly saying that she was being extra and annoying lol. She just seems very inauthentic to me.

 how have you even come to that conclusion 

advice for her

This lie went really viral

 

Another publicity stunt of her  I hope she serves a bop at least, her last album was underwhelming.

I mean JoJo tried to tell us

Hypocrite wbk she was one 

watching her career dissolve right in front of my eyes is fascinating to say the least.

165M records  

anyways the snippet sounds a bit basic so maybe the label should just scrap it

It’s giving Kid Laroi dragging Scooter

165M records?
