And stay will likely remain a bigger hit than the shit that Xtina is on. Hopefully SS can move the 3.7M units Stay did.
Does anyone still play stay tho?
I'm still deciding if it was worth clicking 'View Single Post' in order to tell you that I don't decide what songs I like based on my predisposition to other artists, or not.
The radio does. Song was in the top 10 for like 20 weeks. That's an amazing shelf life for a song.
Okay

I was wondering who all these random hews were on the iTunes top 10 but then I realized that they're all from The Voice. How is it that The Voice stays rocketing people up the charts during the season but isn't able to establish any stars with post-show longevity?
Does Idol sell music during the season as well?

O...that guitarist with the short hair. I use. :eyes:
No need to throw temper tantrums, girls.
Don't you dare come into this thread calling out specific members in a rude fashion and then act like it isn't your fault.

wait I just saw what a local mess Say Something is right now
I guess that explain why it only has 8.5 M views
Well, the #Fighters do maintain Xtina is a Legend of the United States.
A truly local legend.
Because it isn't really a priority of the show. The Voice really only embraces the celebrity of their contestants in as much as they are actually on the show. Honestly, it's a formula that works for them.
So you're saying its chart run was stale and unmoving, like the song.
Radio felt moved enough to make it the #1 song and 3.7m people felt moved enough to spend their coins, so I guess

I'm amazed that people stay tuning in, then! Must be the power of the judges.

Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Cee Lo, their power.

Don't itunes purchases of the songs count as votes for the results?
Anything Rihanna posts on Twitter is more interesting than Stay
Cassadee Pope is doing pretty well.
I think, we all have to remember though, that while The Voice winners DEFINITELY should have performed better and the show revolves around the coaches more than the singers for sure, American Idol hasn't been great with that either, and kind of hit the jackpot in terms of luck with finding Kelly Clarkson first. Candice Glover hew?
They definitely found some great people though. Fantasia, Carrie, Katherine McPhee, Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Lambert. But ever since Season 5, you just don't see almost any alumni gaining traction either. Aside from Adam Lambert, am I forgetting someone post Season 5 that really had a noticeable career?
and anything half your faves put out

Oh yeah, I think so. I remember purchasing that Asian girl's song during Season 1, and I don't think I'd have done so if it wasn't counted as a vote.
Yes! You're right. Forgot him.
Anyone else? I mean remember, American Idols 6-12 is a long time to only turn out Philip Phillips and Adam Lambert if I'm not missing anyone. The Voice hasn't been on that long.
...still salty over Duets, I see...

What a tragic mess of a show. Ugh. So sad.

Yet all four of the judges from the show have successful solo careers...... including the song of 2013 and the probable best selling pop girl album of 2013.
The Voice can't even launch its own judges careers with 4-5x the viewers.

Very true. Although I'd say Adam's career has grown exponentially because of the show. I hate him, but I would be willing to tie Maroon 5's increased success with his involvement in The Voice.

Holy shit, I finally just got Crumpet's unintentional shade about The Voice judges.
Talk about a delayed reaction, but I'm yodeling.
Talk about a delayed reaction, but I'm yodeling.
Moves Like Jagger was one of the biggest songs of the entire 2011 year, and Say Something is on track to be one of the biggest songs of the season/2014 year.
Not to mention Moves Like Jagger's sound directly gave birth to Overexposed which completely dominated in terms of singles and turned Maroon 5 into a juggernaut again when they'd been fading before.
I'm not trying to stan The Voice, but I wouldn't say what you said is literally true. It literally did give an entire new life into Maroon 5. Considering Blake Shelton is THE current country superstar (aka he doesn't have anywhere up to go) and Cee Lo wasn't really releasing new music, that's not exactly shabby, especially when we have a Voice-launched single by the other coach still in the game that is currently burning up the charts.

Ch...there is no shade in that second post, really.
Let me make it clear where the shade lies:
Y'all need to get on my level a bit.

Maroon 5 is big.
I specifically specified solo careers. Xtina does not count since her solo stuff has flopped universally since she was on the show.
Cee Lo Green has also flopped.
1 (maybe 2) of 4 vs 3.5 of 4

Lol you have an interesting way of looking at things.
Maroon 5 was losing a lot of steam with Hands All Over. Misery did OK and Never Gonna Leave This Bed didn't really do much.
Due to the show, they teamed up with Christina, debuted Moves Like Jagger, which became one of the biggest smashes of the year.
They continue that sound for their next album, and get smash after smash after smash.
I don't really know what else you're looking for.

Nah, it's not good if you have to explain it.

I wasn't being shady about Maroon 5.
I agreed with you that The Voice launched their careers.
Right, okay.
But Cee Lo Green, I mean if he flopped, he flopped so hard I haven't even heard of what he's released. He hasn't used the show to debut material.
Christina flopped with Lotus.
Blake Shelton hasn't used The Voice in awhile for a song though Honey Bee did well; but Blake Shelton is the #1 country star right now so there's no point in counting him.
Christina used The Voice to debut a song with A Great Big World and launch their careers. They had enough preorders of their album to get a promo single to the top of the iTunes charts yesterday and their song is currently smashing.
Again... I'm not sure what you're looking for. It's most certainly a mixed bag, but certainly a better track record for the coaches than not.
That's probably because all 4 judges had their careers launched before the show.
We'll see what Idol does for its judges careers this season.
