Daddy Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Charli is such a trendsetter once again with the "my label told me this, so here's that"
karron0624 Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 I thought this was going to be complaining about these short ass songs. Can we go back to 3:30 being the standard please.

Believe it went Top 20 with very little radio support and playlisting. She was INDIE indie, like…owned her own label + doing it all herself. She’s now with Def Jam, so that’s sustaining the hit (more promo, radio, playlisting). But it seems it was solely TikTok making it a success at one point.

Of course they're going to capitalize on TikTok since it's the biggest thing in the world right now but that doesn't mean the evil is coming from tiktok itself. As if they weren't forcing their artists to do stupid random **** since the beginning of times If anything posting a TikTok should be relatively easier than the things they had to do in the past. This! It’s just a form of promo! I think these artist think it’s too uncool or mainstream? Idk! Just hire someone to film or something. I do however not like that labels are pushing artists to make Tik tok friendly music! That’s where I draw the line!
Pavement Princess Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 You guys are agreeing with this…? As a musician and artist you think it should be required to make TikTok’s acting like a clown and almost 100% of the time has nothing to do with your music. Pop music fans are so entitled and VAPID.
James_XL Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 It's sad but it's what it takes to be a successful artist nowadays, Late Night shows and Awards performances barely have impact on songs like they used to. So actually there aren't many effective options. Labels can also and should be paying more to make creative tiktoks with the artists, instead of just forcing them to upload whatever they want.
bestfiction Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) I mean it's just means of promotion. Just like back in the day labels wouldn't release songs that wouldn't get radio airplay, now the relevancy is measured in virality If anything, TikTok can help boost and make visible more unknown artists that wouldn't gain traction in the music industry otherwise, look at the endless Mitski songs going viral. Or a random Beach House deep cut Edited May 23, 2022 by bestfiction

They might not be billboards hits but end up generating lots of revenue through streams. TikTok is not at fault. It’s simply another medium for promo. The problem are label withholding music until it blows up on TikTok while not wanting to invest in promo. Which is dumb because not every song will be a First class where the teasers blew up first. about damn time is a recent example of songs blowing up after release and label driven promo on TikTok. TikTok still requires the label to do promo.
Theshigo Washidu Posted May 23, 2022 Posted May 23, 2022 Not labels having twigs and Florence mixed up in this mess. Majority of their music is not catered to the GP or TikTok kids.

Jack Harlow got a #1 hit with zero traditional promotion.

Florence and twigs don't deliberately cater to TikTok audiences with their music while Jack (idk any of his stuff other than Industry Baby) does I assume.
