In any case, to consider Cher in this 1% list is downright bizarre. It feels so much like large corporations swallowing up their competition. And due to the fact that streaming is making record-making less lucrative, smaller acts depend on concert revenue. Here is another older Wall Street Journal article from Christopher about how large arena acts are eating up all the concert $$$. (And the difference would be?)Īnd it confounds me that in the post-Cher and Tina Turner era music execs are still saying things like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus “may simply be past their hit making primes.” My friend Christopher tells me that female artists still disappear at the ticking time bomb of middle age! Oy. The article gets under my skin a bit when it talks about “the pop playbook” being unpredictable (you think?) and when it mentions that women are criticized for hosting hip-hop artists on their albums but male artists are not. ![]() ![]() The article contains interesting statistics about what’s selling on streaming these days (R&B and hip-hop) and what’s not selling as well (rock, pop and even country is declining). It's about an identity crisis with today's female pop stars. ![]() My friend Christopher sent me this older article from 2017 from the Wall Street Journal. I went out looking for collages of Cher through time and turns out there are a ton of them! This was the best.Īnyway, I have a bunch of random thoughts today and couldn't figure out what umbrella to put them under.
