As you may know that Taylor Swift is now a sellout artist
rather than an artist who is the bestselling singer-songwriting. It appears
that 1989 was sold out in many stores like Target and Best Buy. I guess Taylor
Swift is going mainstream rather than people are looking forward to get a
Taylor Swift album and people love that new album. You know what’s ugly? 1989
is sold out on ITunes too. Lol. Good one, ITunes.
Anyway, it looks like Taylor Swift is making a lot of pop
music over a crossover artist for both country and pop just to make a lot of
money. But don’t get me wrong. I’m a huge fan of Taylor Swift and I loved
Taylor Swift’s first three albums. I become a Swiftie 2 years ago by the time
her fourth album, Red launched in 2012 selling 1.2 million copies in the US
during its first week. Plus, her music videos is incredible. The music videos
were more akin to real life over the music videos that goes by repeats and
money like I’m feeling sexy and twerking. So I’ll take Taylor Swift music
videos like We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together music video over music
videos that goes by sex/money like Nicki Minaj music videos and repeat music
videos like Miley Cyrus twerking. Let’s not forget that Taylor Swift is hot. I
mean, look how hot she it. No matter she’s hot. Let’s continue.
So it appears that 1989 is sold out in many stores 2 days in
a row. No other album does that. Sounds reasonable. Don’t you think?
1989 was lucky however, it got a rating of 75 at Metacritic
based on 18 reviews and according to Billboard, 1989 will be heading for 1
million sales debut. This will make the first singer to have an album sold more
than 1 million copies in the first week 3 million-selling debuts in a row.
Plus: 1989 will be the first 2014 to sell a million copies. So it looks like
Taylor Swift’s 1989 just keeps getting bigger. So with 1989’s huge sales
throughout 2014, Taylor Swift will be leaving country for good since 1989 will
not include country music. And, Taylor Swift will be play her country hits that
weren’t played on pop radio like Begin Again on pop radio. That means, Taylor
Swift can now play her first song Tim McGraw, the single that came out in 2006,
on pop music stations without the need of country music. Pop music can enjoy
listening to Taylor Swift’s country hits like Ours. With Taylor Swift moving to
pop, she can now retire her country music career at the age of 24 making it the
youngest country star to retire the country music career. Smart call, Taylor
Swift. Next up, Taylor Swift marathon on MTV this holiday season.
Now with 1989 becoming the only huge success in 2014, this
would be a good time to evolve music and switched over to streaming, internet
like Vevo, music videos (including Taylor Swift music videos), and, wait for
it, advertising albums. That’s right, advertising albums. 90s and early 2000s
like 1996 and 2002 got it right. So Taylor Swift should do the same thing 90s
and early 2000s like 2003 did. That’s crazy, I mean 1990-2003 was a great time
for 90s and early 2000s music. After that, the music died out in 2004 because
music started to get more mainstream and started to act like money and
soundfonts in the same year. Good thing country music after 2003 like Miranda
Lambert will finally gets some attention from 2004-today so that way country
music like Brad Paisley gets to be part of the entire popular music industry
since 2006.
Why music needs advertising over general public? Because
music needs to evolve and not going by mainstream/top 40/radio/tours. We want
music videos/internet like Vevo/streaming music like Spotify/advertising
albums/MTV playing music videos. Good thing Fuse and MTV Hits do go by music
videos like Katy Perry music videos. Trust me, no more radio, tours, running
gags like Justin Bieber, repeats like sexy music videos or all that junk like
overplaying same songs on the radio. We want music in general like Avril Lavigne
and Nelly Furtado. Not radio or sellouts or all that stupidity like Miley
Cyrus. We want music that many people enjoy and for future generations to come
like Christina Aguilera and Carrie Underwood. That’s why.
Oh yeah, it appears that 1989 will be up for sale for 99
cents on Microsoft’s new Music Deals app. That way, 1989 isn’t available on
steaming sites like Spotify. Lol. Good one, Microsoft.
I almost forgot, Big Machine Records will be going up for sale yesterday. According to Scott Borchetta, he will be selling Big Machine Records in favor for Taylor Swift to make more pop music and tackling new genres later on like rock. So how about Universal Music Group since Universal Music Group will buy Big Machine Records so that way Big Machine Records will be part of Universal Music Group. Once Universal purchase Big Machine Records, Universal Music Group will get rid of country music off of Big Machine Records, keep Taylor Swift but others has to go and turn all Taylor Swift songs including her country songs into pop songs. Let's not forget Big Machine Records will turn all Taylor Swift albums into pop albums causing Big Machine Records to become a pop label rather than an indie country label in Nashville. Trust me, we need a pop label in Nashville. Big Machine Records can even hire poorly marketed artists like Avril Lavigne, troubled popular artists like Chirstina Aguilera and artists that should've got more attention like Nelly Furtado. If an artist is having a tough time getting their music go strong, you can count on Big Machine Records. Big Machine Records is here to help. That would be something that Universal Music Group and Big Machine Records will look forward too when Universal Music Group purchase Big Machine Records due to the success of 1989.
OK, that’s it for my humble opinion on this entire article.
1989 is now available in stores and for download on ITunes and Google Play. I
hope you enjoying listening to 1989. If you haven’t own a copy, now is the time
do but that album. I will see you next time. Peace out.
