As we see, not all genres are receiving the same treatment. Age is also a big factor, nowadays the young kids are dominating the music charts, years ago, a lot of woman would be singing well into their 40’s and would still be successful. Also, looks are becoming more important, as when an artist lets themself go they are crucified. Now we have social media and gossip sites which can damn near ruin reputations and their careers since the rumors spread like wildfire.

Years ago when albums actually sold well, a lot of artists didn’t have to worry too much about being dropped but now that most people don’t spend money anymore on CD’s, it makes it hard on artists, especially newcomers because they have to prove they are marketable to their label. Well I agree to a certain extent but I also feel as if there may be more pressure today in the industry. Her debut sold 2.5 million she never was a huge seller like that but she has always been a success. Say she cant sing thats your opinion but making up s*** trying to make her seem less successful is pressed. She never sold 10 million like the old timers did easily no one is!!!! Kelly Rowland, Ciara, Chris Brown, Keri Hilson, Miguel, Frank Ocean, Alicia Keys, Nicki MInaj, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, and like almost everyone else! So yea what the f*** are you talking about! Spin all you like! 3 million sold is a successful album. Rihanna should just stop already she’s a flop BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!! who else besides 1D, Adele, Taylor Swift selling more then 3 million in a year? By your logic every black singer should just stop because NONE of them will see close to Rihanna’s Tour gross except Queen Beyonce! People who arent seeing a return and should stop by your own logic is…. How is the tour a flop? Every venue she played was sold out?
