Hey guys,this post is a bit different than usual,but its something that really pisses me off and I wanted to share my thoughts with you guys.
As you may know,Katy Perry is a huge superstar pop star that has had 5 consecutive #1 songs on the Billboard 100,and she's gong for a 6th. People may think,"Wow,that is incredible that she is just putting out music and that many people are buying it just because they want to!" NO.False.I feel like Katy cheats the system.Its probably not her fault granted,its the record label EMI. Every time she releases a single, especially for the last 4 singles, she has released a remix for each of her songs. What does this mean? Well,the sales on itunes count torwards sales of the original song on the Hot 100,so the sales of the regular song just aren't enough, so the record company releases a remix featuring a popular rapper so the song will appeal to more people and sell more. She isn't releasing remixes just because "they sound cool" or something. Its cheating in my eyes. She wants as many #1's as she can get. ET featured Kanye West, which pushed it to #1 on the charts. LAst Friday Night featured Missy Elliot on the remix, and pushed it to #1. Perry's latest single "The One That Got Away" has really struggled to work its way up the charts,so what does EMI do to ensure that it keeps moving up the charts? They cut the price of the single to 69 cents in iTunes. But wait! That wasn't good enough. Its stuck in the middle of the top 10! Oh no,so what do they do?? Release ANOTHER remix,this time featuring B.o.B!! What the FUCK Miss Perry, are you that desperate to have another #1 single?? Isn't 5 off of "Teenage Dream" enough you greedy bitch?? Fuck you,Katy Perry,why can't some good bands like Foo Fighters,Green Day,Foster the People,or Cage the Elephant etc etc get a #1 hit? Because america's taste in music is totally FUCKED. For the majority. Thanks for reading my rant, and just know, its no chance of fate that Perry has had this many #1 hits.
