Marry The Night is now a platinum single.

SLAY

Spoiler

I think this is ridiculous

 

[Wafflecakes]

They should have just made it a separate certifications.... or applied it to Albums instead of singles (since album sales are so low).

 

[cory64]

It is pretty strange. Album streams are hard to quantify tho.

 

[Koodo]

Ew, it counts Youtube streams. Did the Harlem Shake get certified 48382x Platinum?

 

[Wafflecakes]

It is pretty strange. Album streams are hard to quantify tho.

12 streams of ANY song on the album = 1 Album stream.

Also seems like it is up to the labels to still pay to get certified. Meaning that RIAA certifications will be as unreliable as ever.

 

[Trigger]

Justin Bieber's "Baby" is now 12x Platinum.

Slay.

 

[Mau ®]

What a messy change tbh.

 

[Aguila]

Ew, it counts Youtube streams. Did the Harlem Shake get certified 48382x Platinum?

Did that song even have an offical video? Because:

Only official label/company videos count towards certification; user generated videos do not

 

[cory64]

I noticed that none of Katy's singles got an update today, so yeah, as unreliable as ever.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I would have supported the change had they put in place a mechanism to deflate the numbers a bit. All these 10x platinum singles are ridiculous.

Total mess.

 

[Koodo]

Did that song even have an offical video? Because:

Oh, good. It did not.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Did that song even have an offical video? Because:

1D about to get certifications rained down on their heads.

The have 6/7 100 million+ videos.

 

[Trigger]

Bless. I have no complaints about that.

 

[Mau ®]

Rih has 12 100M+ views videos.

Soon to be 14 once "Umbrella" and "You da Last" cross 100M in a couple of weeks.

 

[DMeisterJ]

DMJ, Cory, Triggersus... Doesn't Rih give you LOUD teas lately?



The breakup with FIST has given her new life. LOUD 2.0 coming

She's looking so fresh-faced and vibrant now! I attribute it more to a successful NA leg of her tour and not being on that grind, but yes I'm also glad she's done with Chris if its what is causing her to look so much better (as if that's even possible).

I want her to do her tour, take a bit if a break, color her hair red, and deliver me another Loud era full of hits.

Some Mariah tea

By Roger Friedman - Showbiz 411

I told you last weekend that Mariah Carey was no longer managed by her longtime pal Randy Jackson. Now all of a sudden that story got traction on MTV.com (which credited us–thank you). Just to explain: Randy came in to manage Mariah as she went through the process of negotiating with American Idol. He's also been helping to get her new album together. There is no problem or friction between them. She didn't dump him or oust him. Good grief.

As Mariah prepares to release the album, go on tour, etc it would be impossible for Jackson really "to manage" all of that. Randy and Mariah go back to at least her Charmbracelet album, which he captained. That album was a comeback after the "Glitterdebacle." The two are very close friends. It's unlikely Carey will return to Idol next season, but don't count out Randy. (The Wrap insists he's leaving.) Randy represents continuity at Idol. He could still be a mentor if not a judge.
PS Mariah has a full time manager, anyway. Louise McNally is always there as second managers are brought in.

screaming at the RIAA

Its not like they dont already give platinum certifications to albums that havent sold as much so I'm not bothered, I just wish labels were more upfront about their sales and by that I dont mean shipments.

Edit:I know HDD does count Amazon and Itunes, which means shipments are not really relevant. I imagine it has a much smaller impact than it used to.

waiT at this gif tho.

I'd stan for it, but it's like it's only ten frames :/

Finally got around to loving Almost Home. I've had in repeat for a while.
I'm not feeling #Beautiful, and I was never fond of Triumphant, but Almost Home is sublime

such wasted potential

Glad that I am not the only one who likes Home more than #Beautiful.

 

[botty]

Out of Triumphant, Almost Home, and #Beautiful... I have only given my coins to one of them.

Not people thinking Rat Rutler is apart of her music process. I doubt she even lets him off his leash long enough to wander into her red lips room.

Here's a more fluid one

 

[Bladenic]

Parks and Rec renewed for season 6. Crumpet and Arte, it's not too late to repent.

 

[Majmun]

The radio DJ didn't mention the song today, at all. It was supposed to be released today. Seething so hard rn

 

[Artemisia]

[Bladenic]

Not yet, Parks was the only surefire renewal.

Also I hope it doesn't, S4 was shit. Well not hope, but I don't care if it don't.

 

[cory64]

Azealia's Impact has permeated every aspect of pop culture in 2013.

No video, no single.....these are truly dire times for the big girls.

 

[Bladenic]

LOL at ya'll thinking some RADIO DJ had some inside scoop on a fucking Beyonce lead single. GTFO with your tears, you all deserve to weep.

I also knew better than to trust any album news that's not directly from her

Here's a more fluid one

it's 100 pixles too wide and 4MB too big

Bloat is not elegant. But I guess a Kelly stan wouldn't realise that.

I suppose you have not seen Rihanna's discography?

She knows a thing or two about bloat.

I am aware. I used to work for Telus.

Selling internet was depressing.

 

[Fey]

Not yet, Parks was the only surefire renewal.

Also I hope it doesn't, S4 was shit. Well not hope, but I don't care if it don't.

Yeah, I thought I could watch the cast do anything, even if it was shit, but this season has made me realize how very wrong I was.

this is so spot on i can't
