John Slayne Posted April 3 Posted April 3 why was Invincible so much more expensive than any other album? 1
Revolution Posted April 3 Posted April 3 There's no way this list is accurate since the costs of most albums are unreported. 1

Her $50M deal with Pepsi paid for ST and the videos as well as tour costs. For Lemonade she had the Topshop/Ivy Park deal before she fully bought Ivy Park from Topshop. For The Gift/Black is King, Disney paid her 25M for the role of an Nala. For Renny/CC she had Tiffany's/Lexus and Verizon. The ultimate artist and capitalist hybrid - she truly is Mattrew's daughter, Jayz wife and MJ's mega stan! Edited April 3 by Kh-Loud
airplane Posted April 3 Posted April 3 umm what the hell is happening in your avi idk what this list is based on but does ANTI'S 25M samsung deal count?
wastedpotential Posted April 3 Posted April 3 I'd always assumed albums like Prism, 1989, Dangerous Woman, and reputation would be super expensive because they booked so much Max Martin studio time (at the peak of his production success) that they had several Max-produced album tracks (alongside several Max-produced singles), while just about every other song he's made with a top artist in the past 15 years has been released as a single. Perhaps his fees are overstated, because as I look through his discography there are several acts that I wouldn't think could afford him, but still.

Burn Posted April 3 Posted April 3 11 minutes ago, Vixen Eyes said: im sorry but 10 million for a compilation album?? HIStory is not just a compilation album. It features 15 of his previous hits and 15 completely new songs. That album spawned multiple hits which surely you must know of. Scream? You Are Not Alone? Earth Song? They Don't Care About Us? 2
BrandNewBrandon Posted April 4 Posted April 4 (edited) 3 hours ago, John Slayne said: why was Invincible so much more expensive than any other album? Michael started to work on that album in 1997. He hired so many producers and musicians for it and then the video for the lead single featured Marlon Brando and was broadcast on TV as a world premiere all around the world along with his name alone probably being tied to booking studios for a long time so they could work without leaks.

Virgos Groove Posted April 4 Posted April 4 4 hours ago, John Slayne said: why was Invincible so much more expensive than any other album? He recorded for 4 years and would cancel recording sessions with huge producers because he just wasn't in the mood for it.

Iaintsorry Posted April 4 Posted April 4 7 hours ago, John Slayne said: why was Invincible so much more expensive than any other album? I think it was the fact that Invincible was his comeback album. He had a lot to prove - showing he wasn't a washed up pop star, the PR damage from the allegations and having not performed in awhile. There was also a ton of drama with him and Sony at the time due to the production of this album. I think the pressure of creating this album ended his motivation to ever do another album again cause he was trying so hard to top himself and make it perfect, which ironically made Invincible his least successful album.
Iaintsorry Posted April 4 Posted April 4 (edited) Also FYI list in OP is only most expensive albums for producing/recording With marketing budget included it's on this list which you'll see ArtPop, Born this Way and Anti made it on to: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_expensive_albums#:~:text=With a cost between %2430,most expensive album ever produced.
