-agrees with Eddie's disagreement-

Albums are better than singles

Ā 

Of course they are :dozey:

Unless your a pop-artist whom gets other people to write your hit songs, than singles are better than albums.

Ā 

Who needs 2 hits and 8 filler tracks anymore?

GaGa writes her own songs :snobby:

Just because you're a pop artist doesn't mean people write your songs for you, cos not all pop artists are like that.

I mean look at Miley Cyrus... she's a pop artists, we don't like her, yet she writes her own music.

yup ,its true ..

Ā 

Gaga writes , produces , sings , and co-directs her music videos.

Ā 

And btw , its one of the few artist ( i would dare to say the only one now ) how can sell both Singles and Albums...

Ā 

Not only her first album has sold over 15 million copies worldwide ( which is completely amazing ) but has had a little more than 2 hit singes ;)

I wasn't on about Gaga when I said that some pop artists don't write their own songs.

Ā 

It's mainly the x-factor winners whom seem to only have 2 hit songs from an album with the rest mostly forgettable.

LOL BRITISH TALENT SHOWS

Can I just say that I really don't think Julian cares if The Strokes "make it" or not........

Ā 

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't an increase in live music profits as of late kind of neutralized the lack of interest people have been showing in buying records?

However promoters have hiked prices of tickets up so much that people are not going out to concerts as much as they were in 2009. Price of fuel hasn't helped either

The guy who wrote Umbrella for Rihanna has actually got his own album! it's quite cool!

Ā 

Who ?

Ā 

Actually Umbrella was written by several people , i dont remember them all , that's why im asking who .

Ā 

Cause lots of the people who wrote the song , are quite big already . Like Jay z , the dream , tricky stewart .. they are all let's say "superstar" producers/aritsts

Haha, The Dream. I didn't think Jay Z had anything to do with it... I thought it was just him and Tricky. They also wrote Single Ladies for Beyonce, which, in my opinion is one of the best songs of the decade.

thats become a huge problem down here in australia. the live music scene is going through the roof but some ticket prices are just ridiculous and the promoters who set those prices have paid for it with the likes of U2 selling in some cases only 60% of tickets and having to give rest away for free to save them the embarrassment of playing to a near empty football stadium.

Ā 

umm yes ! Though the dream's productions in songs is always the same. Im kinda over the recicled beats + finger snaps on songs . They need to spice it up

Ā 

The Dream / Tricky bascially write and produce every hot R&B artist . Basically everything that tops the charts now a days :lol: I like their songs..

Ā 

But , The dream has been making albums like since 06/07 , he has like 4 or 3 albums ... I know that he had one Love Vs Money ( the one i have ) and its really critically aclaimed
