I'm confused why more labels aren't like this. Who's even buying records anyway lol

[SlowGinFizzzz]

Huhh what's going on with Atlantic, have they been unstable for longer or is this something more sudden? 

[reymiu]

Screencap in case she deleted the tweet

 

[reymiu]

Looks like Ava doesn't have money to buy samples anymore, so I will give some streams to her new single "Spot a Fake"

[Rihinvention]

I don't know if you guys know this, but the sooner we stop talking about her, the sooner she'll go away.

[ChooseyLover]

The clickbait with a misleading title and tired ass sample joke  Someone close this thread.

[Genius1111]

Please change the thread title to "Ava Max contemplates selling lemonade" 

[smartalek22]

lol reading comprehension

Atlantic Records is BROKE and fired tons of staff and dropped tons of flop artists.

With all this mess it's gonna be hard for artists on that label to get any proper focus or promo

But nobody talks about you, and you're still here.

Wasn't the new CEO going around giving artists birkin bags?

[Gladiator]

Some here should take some time to discover WhoSampled.com

The narrative that all Ava does is sample is tired and ironic, especially when you compare the volume of samples she has compared to others.

Money isn't the problem lol. It's who gets positions of power.

 

People that know music, like music are not in positions of power anymore. A&Rs are wannabe tech bros lol.

But yeah if Atlantic is really going down... it must be seriously ****** behind the scenes 

 

The industry is in rough shape now. All of the UMG labels essentially got consolidated last year under Republic and Interscope, Capitol was hit with the double funding catastrophes of IICHLIWP and 143, and RCA continue to ruin every single artist they touch 

 

It's the way that during Taylor's messy exit from Big Machine a lot of fans wanted her to go to Atlantic/Warner because they had such good payola and play listing, and we were kinda mad she went with Republic since they'd botched the Reputation era radio rollout so badly (and were then proven right by Lover...*sigh*) and now it's looking like one of maybe... three? four? profitable labels right now (assuming Columbia, Interscope, and I guess Island are in good shape). The music industry is in dire shape 

RCA isn't doing so bad. They barely fund their artists but they're still doing fine(SZA, Doja, Tate), so they're definitely not in the red. Although the lack of funding approach does leave some artists to die(Normani, etc)
