taylor swift just saved the music industry

Link didnt work. Did very many big name artists drop this year? I can think of several people that would go platinum too I believe. Bruno Mars comes to mind. Katy Perry?

hahaha!!!! so thats what saved the industry
 
Some very positive sales news this week as TAYLOR SWIFT has sold 1.287 million copies of her new album, "1989." USA TODAY quotes data from NIELSEN SOUNDSCAN, and writes "the album becomes the first released this year to sell a million copies, and the year's second-highest seller overall, behind the 'Frozen' soundtrack. It also means SWIFT sold more than two copies of 1989 every second last week." SWIFT is a sales machine, and is the first artist ever to have three albums sell a million copies in a week. "Speak Now" sold 1.047 million in 2010. "Red" debuted with 1.21 million sales in 2012, making it the last album to sell over a million in a week. - See more at: http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/a...-1989-eve?ref=mail_recap#sthash.0ldzAvGd.dpuf
 
she got 13 year olds and they mamas buying her albums. this is no surprise. White America basically supports their own as you can see. it's a fixed fight.
 
:lol: at "fixed fight". As if the ability to "support" specific to one race.

While I'm sure her audience is predominantly white, I'm sure there's some non white folks in that 1.3 mil.

Country audience is massive. That's her core.

Add another massive audience on top of that (mainstream Pop) and this is what happens.
 
tennessee is the hollywood of country , the money in nashville is insane ....she or her camp/management saw the void for a young voice in country around 2005 and moved there ...little by little she made her way from the south and middle america to major cities , mainstrean pop culture and top 40 ...its game set and match when a plan executes on that level .

with that said her parents or father atleast is straight balling ....i think its generational money on top of the fact he's like a crazy successful investment banker or some thing...so that helps to an extent for sure .

The reason it sold that many copies is because the album was literally impossible to get unless you bought it.

No leak, no streaming service.  And not to mention the heavy advertisement by the label and the promo tours she did.

On that note...

On MONDAY (NET NEWS 11/3), ALL ACCESS told you that on the same day TAYLOR SWIFT announced plans for a world tour in support of her new “1989” album and hours before expected record-setting sales figures for her latest project are due, BIG MACHINE RECORDS instructed SPOTIFY to remove her entire catalog from its subscription streaming service.

BIG MACHINE Pres./CEO SCOTT BORCHETTA has long been a vocal critic of streaming services such as SPOTIFY, saying on more than one occasion, to different publications that the streaming business model is, “A race to the bottom.”

Now, TIME is writing SWIFT's spurning of SPOTIFY and rejecting the streaming business model is "a losing bet."

SWIFT famously penned an op-ed in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL earlier this year, explaining “piracy, file sharing and streaming have shrunk the numbers of paid album sales drastically, and every artist has handled this blow differently.” SWIFT continued, “music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for. It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is.”

TIME disagrees, noting "Unfortunately for SWIFT, her prediction won’t come true. Streaming music services like SPOTIFY are the future of the industry, and resistance is futile," adding "it's fitting that TAYLOR SWIFT’s new album is titled 1989, because that’s the period SWIFT likely wishes she lived in. Two years before the advent of the World Wide Web, 1989 would have indeed been a time when music labels had complete control of album pricing and distribution. There was no Internet piracy then. The iTUNES store, the industry’s previous boogeyman-turned-savior, was more than a decade away. Fans could either pay sticker price for new releases or they could sit by their radios, and most did both. In 2014, the equation could not be more different."

Realtalk.

And they make a lot of damn money too...

But not for long because all of the popular artist are about to do what swift is doing.

The royalties for songwriters and producers ain't cutting it.

A million plays on youtube or spotify only nets the producer 90 dollars.

No producers and no writers = no music

That's why all the beats/lyrics today sound the same. Once a producer gets signed they have to get mad placements just to recoup the advance from his or her publishing deal.
