Promo is much more fun than payola playlists and forgetting the era...

Levitating was pushed a lot with a Dababy remix

Cause her era didn't get massive streams first week. Few people listened to her album when it was released, so her singles were still somewhat new when they were released as singles after the album.

I swear interviews were terrible for an artist’s mental health. Months of talking about the same bs and trying to avoid difficult questions. Not worth it.

As it was is a hit because it was released before the album. His next singles all flopped.

Streaming is so boring. It's because of those promo playlists and autoplay bullshit that we rarely see an artist promote their album. Use to be 4 to 5 singles deep and the artists was still promoting. Hopefully streaming disappears soon and something better comes along. Fans look forward to interviews, performances, and everything else that should come with an album era

How will streaming dissappear

Because noone cares about her albums first week and thanks to rereleases and new singles that have massive promo push. But her albums don't have much real longevity despite her streams. 1989 is already outsreaming Future Nostalgia: the moonlight edition on Spotify...
