Desperate: Rihanna To Sell ‘Unapologetic’ Deluxe Set For $250

Published: Monday 29th Oct 2012 by Sam

Let’s play a game. A role-play, if you will.

You’re a successful model, who’s made much of your fortune parading as a “singer”. And, yet for all your “achievements”, a number of things elude you – the most notable being album sales.

Indeed, for all your surface success, you still struggle to shift units that truly reflect your “status”.

Keen to prove your worth on your 7th try, what do you do to solve your problem? If your name is Rihanna, “bizarre” is the only word to describe your answer.

Details below…

Notorious for her inability to sell $10.00 albums, the Bajan star has conjured up a deluxe “platinum” package of her new LP ‘Unapologetic’, which retails at a recession-friendly price of…

$250

Hilarious, given that her albums take triple the time and marketing spend of other artists to even sell Platinum. Nonetheless, it begs the question of just what exactly fans will get for their coins in this ultra special edition. Well, wonder no more.

According to Rih’s official online store, for 25x the price of the ‘Unapologetic’ CD, you receive…

* A Rihanna Unapologetic 2GB Credit Card style USB Flash Memory Drive with plentiful room for high-definition photos, graphic-intensive documents, videos, spreadsheets, presentations, term papers and music that can be stored and retrieved in a flash.

* A unisex shirt featuring a stunning Michael Muller photo of Rihanna taken during her Unapologetic album photo shoots spanning several weeks. Printed on a black 100% soft cotton shirt.

 * 7 Art print 12 x15 lithographs featuring Michael Muller photography, a Magnus Voll Mathiassen illustration and exclusive never-before released Rihanna Unapologeticimages, bound together with her iconic handwritten R logo band.

3 Device Adhesives featuring Rihanna’s Unapologeticcover, logo and image, compatible with iPhone, Blackberry and all other smart phone devices.

 * 7 Laptop stickers featuring artwork by Mario Hugo,Unapologetic album and “Diamonds” single artwork, and other Rihanna surprises.

* 11×17 Rihanna handwritten personal note to her Navy 

* A collectible colored vinyl featuring Diamonds Remixes. 

* A Rihanna 3D experience available exclusively in this boxset. Collect this exclusive custom-made white View-Master with silver detail including a collectible vintage reel of never-before-released 3D images depicting Rihanna’s iconic style transformation. 

* A 40-page custom Rihanna Notebook with handwritten notes and lyrics. * Unapologetic Deluxe CD version with a 28-page photo and art booklet featuring Michael Muller and Melissa T. Forde photography and a 20 minute DVD featuring never-before-released footage, a First Look from Rihanna’s sold-out Loud Tour performance Live from London’s O2 arena. * Exclusive Fan Mosaic poster featuring members of Rihanna’s Navy and a breathtaking Unapologetic image.
***********
Ploughing through the BS, the list basically translates as: the album + a bunch of stickers and fridge magnets. Sad, as for that price, we’d expect ol’ Ri to perform a concert in our front room too (ear-plugs included).

Will you be buying?

      • Trev October 29, 2012

        your argument makes no sense…selling this for $250 is not a way to sell more…that makes absolutely no sense….this is just another marketing method and it’s different…Mariah and Madonna didn”t have to do creative things like this because back then ppl just bought CDs…there was no itunes so you could preview stuff to see if you like it…and there was no twitter so you could just spread the leaked album…Rihanna is a beast and one day will past the great Madonna

        everyone is doing something…Nicki has a DVD…and Taylor Swift’s legal team is the most genius of them all…she’s selling her CD through Papa John’s Pizza…GEN-FRIKKIN-IUS

Idk why you guys hate Rihanna but if you’re gonna do it let’s be truthful…Rihanna is the biggest star right now…and how did her album flop if she is over 3+million….she’s constantly breaking records and little by little slides up the billboard all-time top 10 hits list…soooo yeah you guys make no sense

      • Benron (King Of The F****** Navy) October 29, 2012

        Actually she markets to 16-15 but you’re close enough.

        She is crazy, her tickets for front row are now jacked up 400 dollars to 650 bucks. Can you guess who isn’t going to the diamonds tour?

      • Benron (King Of The F****** Navy) October 29, 2012

        *25

      • MC October 29, 2012

        $650?!?! Madonna isn’t even asking for this much. This b**** better do acrobats, sing like Whitney and Mariah, and dance like Michael and Janet Jackson to be costing this much! I don’t blame you for not going. Who is going to this s*** anyways? Like really?!? $650 for front row? Really? Oh my God. Anyways 16-25 years old are the “richest” and well off of the bunch so she can kiss this deluxe addition package and Diamonds Tour front row seats goodbye.

      • Benron (King Of The F****** Navy) October 29, 2012

        LMAO, but I think the 650 seats might come with a “party” beforehand.

        Note: Half of her fans are not old enough to drink so it will probably just be a bunch of teenagers in a random club listening to her album while eating pizza tbh.

      • MC October 29, 2012

        This is a mess. Does anyone, whose not a navy or goes to blog sites, know that she has an album out? I think the common person is clueless. That’s really bad considering its the casual fans that buy albums instead of the die hard “stans”. What do you think? Is the Navi concerned or not?

      • Benron (King Of The F****** Navy) October 29, 2012

        @Mc As you can tell from me we are frightened and unlike her label and “Hits daily double” do not expect her album to see anywhere near 275k if she keeps this s*** up.

        Her video is not gonna come out for weeks, she has no performance set up before the album comes out and like you say no one knows she has an album out.

        I expect her to open with 150k

      • MC October 29, 2012

        Well, I don’t know what their problems is. Do you think the label is willing to push back or do you think they’ll just release it hoping it will stick? I think the best bet would be to push back until she promotes it properly.

      • Benron (King Of The F****** Navy) October 29, 2012

        They really don’t care about Rihanna’s promo, thats her managments job right/ And her manangment is busy on Rita Ora, so looks like They’re doing nothing for Rihanna.

        Are you thinking of buying it? Her more well off fans will probably purchase it, or I could see, maybe multiple fans going in together to get one deluxe and sharing it?

        The Navy should start some kind of fund, because $250 is way up there. They also might discount it at some point, build up anticipation and then slash the price to sell a lot. It’s especially appropriate because Rihanna (like Gaga) has a 360 deal. They’re trying to make things more interactive like Bjork did!

        I’ve purchased deluxe DVD’s and box sets with extra features, so I can’t knock it. I max out around $25-30 bucks.

        Just think many of the artist charges far more then 250 for front Row seat and Meet and Greet you know. There are quite a few of RIHANNA’S Die Hards like Me and many Others will But just because its Rihanna and so many people knock her Hustle.

        Beyonce,,,,Concert!
        Beyonce will be charging U.S. fans more than 5 times what she’s charging European fans to see her perform this summer.
        In Europe, tickets to Beyonce’s upcoming B-Day concert are going for between $68 and $110. But in the U.S., the published price of concert tickets is as high as $515.
        And if you live in New York, you may have to rob a couple of banks to attend Beyonce’s concert. We have learned that prime seats at her New York City concert are scheduled to cost fans more than $800 each. To put that in perspective, floor seats to Justin Timberlake’s upcoming New York concert are only $155.

        But they couldn’t just leave it at high ticket prices. Beyonce’s management had to find another way to squeeze money out of her fans. You see, before you can even buy a ticket to the U.S. leg of the tour – you’re required to pay a $29.95 non-refundable “Membership Fee.”

        And Beyonce fans are trying to do something about it. A chorus of fans have been frantically trying to do something about Beyonce charging so much for Her Tickets As one fan put it Beyonce need to be put on Blast! for those high ticket prices. It’s not fair. The average parent with more than one child just can’t afford to pay to see her.”
        Beyonce Stop trying to fleece you’re fans

        Bottom line it’s all about Who want to See any Artist for that matter or Who U R RIDING WITH AND THE “Die Hard” Welllll some of them will pay the money and others want it’s as Simple as that!

      I would correct you that Talk That Talk only had 3 singles with videos, and two that were promoted (4 overall).

      • MC October 29, 2012

        o_O Someone is asking for it.
        1. Birthday Cake had her ex and that is a big enough promo.
        2. She performed “Cockiness” at the VMAs and that is a big enough promo.
        3. She was on Tour (loud tour) to promote.
        4. She did Vogue and countless other interviews and magazines to promote
        5. Road to TTT is promotion
        6. Mariah discounts her singles? Like Rihanna doesn’t discount her singles and entire album to mere cents? who was selling their album at $5.99 or less? Which is selling their singles at .99$? No Mariah. BTW, Triumphant is being sold for $1.29 just like Diamonds.
        7. I would like to see the receipts in which Mariah uses/used Payola. Btw, it no longer exists. Next time if you are going to spin that Payola rumor, I would like to see some valid evidence, okay? Its funny you would say this because Mariah wasn’t a singles’ artist at all in the 90s, she actually sol albums so its really just gibberish.

      4TH TIME POSTING THIS!

      Loud Tour had about 10 dates in the U.k left to promote LOUD when #TTT came out, and if she is performing all loud songs , what do you think she was performing?

      Bc never had an itunes or pop radio release, but still topped the urban chart #Hit. Cockiness = promo single, never released to the radio. You and I both know magazines are terrible promo, lets not act as if she was getting some Rita Ora level backing…

      Mariah discounted her singles before but now she can’t because she is struggling to make profit from triumphants major floppage. And I was talking about the 90′s when I said what I said, does Mariah have number one singles anymore?

      And payola still exists, jsut in different ways, every time Katy Perry releases a new single she sends all the big radio stations, posters + cash to play her songs, and will even give them exclusive intervies, Rita Ora also did it with How we do but that flopped.

      • MC October 29, 2012

        Baby, being on tour is the ultimate promo. She was closing out areas right? I assume she made announcements that her album was being released to those who were attending. Lets not act BC featuring Chris was nothing, lets really not. And cockiness was meant to be her what 12 #1 according to the Navi and was performed at an award show.
        ______________________________________
        Mariah sold her albums and singles for full price! You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Its not like Rater R that was sold for .99$. Lets really not go there with discounts, lets leave that one alone babe. Mariah doesn’t need ONE PENNY from anything. She has the money to buy, ship, sell, trade, exchange your fave. She is not like your fave who has to pay royalties and her label the money. The fact that Triumphant flopped to make profit is a moot point because none of Rihanna’s hits make any profit for her, they go to the label, her writer, and producers. Mariah writes and produces her stuff so even when they flop she doesn’t have to pay people royalties. Her last hit top 10 was Obsessed from her last album. Even her flop single made it to #1 on the dance charts. Funny you accuse Mariah of using Payola when she sold albums too. What is your excuse for that. I know you weren’t there to see her in her prime, but she was HUGE in the 90s. Everyone bought her albums and singles and like I said I would like to see some receipts for the Payola excuse. Btw, you accuse Katy, Rita, Mariah, etc is Rihanna guilty or is she the only one who sells? lol.

      on and can’t even make it to the Top 10 (ten).
      To celebrate the Billboard Nielsen BDS-based Pop Songs chart’s 20th year of monitoring and informing Popular music Trends, Billboard released a list of the top forty pop songs artists since 1992…
      Rihanna can now have her cake, cake, cake and eat it too!
      The Barbadian singer was just named Billboard’s top pop song artist of the decade, surpassing Britney Spears, Madonna, Kelly Clarkson and many other chart-toppers for the most coveted spot as number one.
      Once she found out about her new title, the “Diamonds” singer took to Twitter to express her excitement.

      “Billboard crowned me #1 top 40 artist of the decade just 7 years into this!” she gushed.
      With eleven number one singles on the Billboard charts since the beginning of her career in 2005, it’s no surprise the five-time Grammy winner has been crowned as the queen of pop…at least for now.

      “Success for me isn’t a destination, it’s a journey,” Rihanna once said of her fame. “Everybody’s working to get to the top, but where is the top? It’s all about working harder and getting better and moving up and up.”
      The FULL list of Billboard’s top 40 POPular songs artists from the past two decades:
      1. Rihanna
      2. Pink
      3. Britney Spears
      4. Kelly Clarkson
      5. Mariah Carey
      6. Katy Perry

      With the global release of her sixth Island Def Jam studio album Talk That Talk in November 2011, Rihanna took another giant step in her journey to dominate popular
      music and fashion worldwide.

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        Talk That Talk’s first
        single, “We Found Love” (written and produced by, and featuring Scottish musician Calvin Harris) was a #1 hit in some 20 territories (including the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, and more), with too many gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications to count.

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        In addition
        “We Found Love” was by far the biggest single of Rihanna’s career to date, spending 10 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., besting her previous record of seven weeks apiece at #1 for “Umbrella” (featuring Jay-Z) back in 2007, and T.I.’s “Love Your Life” (featuring Rihanna) in 2008.

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        We Found Love made
        history as Rihanna’s 11th #1 hit on the Hot 100, and her 20th Top 10 hit. At age 23, Rihanna became the youngest artist in Billboard chart history to earn 11 Hot 100 #1 hits

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        As reported by Billboard.com, she collected her 20 Hot 100 Top 10 singles faster than any other solo artist, six years and four months. The time span beat Madonna’s previous record (by five months), and placed Rihanna second only to the Beatles.

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        We Found Love also
        notched Rihanna her 16th #1 Billboard Dance single. “We Found Love”’s success placed Rihanna in a very rarefied field as just the fifth woman to earn ‘20-and-over’ Top 10 hits, alongside Whitney Houston (with 23 career Top 10s), Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson (27 each), and Madonna at the top (37).

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        Talk That Talk’s World wide
        sales of more than 4.5 million units and counting (as of early 2012), brought Rihanna’s worldwide album sales to more than 30 million.

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        As Rihanna enters her eight year as a
        Def Jam artist, Rihanna has also logged a phenomenal 120 million digital song sales, establishing her as the top selling digital artist of all time. This was underscored as far back as the Billboard Music Awards at the end of
        2009, when Rihanna was named the Top Digital Song
        Artist Of the Decade.

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        Talk That Talk was the worthy follow-
        up to Rihanna’s previous album, Loud (November 2010). Loud’s first two singles, “What’s My Name” (featuring Drake) and “Only Girl (In the World),” were worldwide successes, both solid #1 chart-toppers in the U.S. and UK. “What’s My Name,” “Only Girl (In the World)” and “S&M” became Rihanna’s 8th, 9th, and 10th #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits, respectively. With that: • Rihanna was named the only female artist of the previous decade to chart ten #1’s on the Hot 100 as well as the youngest soloist to notch ten Hot 100 #1’s.

      • Lax October 31, 2012

        Only girl (In the
        World)” became her 8th #1 Hot Dance Airplay chart hit, eclipsing Madonna’s long-standing record of seven #1’s on the Dance chart (launched in 2003).

      Rihanna helped redefine the path of popular music for a new generation. It’s hard to imagine that just four years ago, Rihanna was a young girl living in the beautiful Barbados parish of Saint Michael. Her first connection to the music industry came when she met a vacationing music producer named Evan Rogers from New York City.

        After an impromptu performance for Evan, he was

It took just one meeting with Jay-Z and Antonio “L.A.” Reid for Rihanna to score her big break; Jay, who had just recently been appointed the President of Def Jam Records, was so taken by the young singer’s arresting natural talent that he signed her to the legendary label on the spot.

      Rihanna,,,
      In February 2011, a few weeks shy of her 23rd birthday, Rihanna released a single called S&M. The video opens with a sequence showing the singer wearing a dress emblazoned with the words “w****” and “s***” while trapped against a wall by layers of clingfilm. Later, shots of her wearing white latex stockings and suspenders, and brandishing a riding crop are cut with footage where she is prone on the floor, wiggling energetically against the pink rope which binds her hands and feet.

      • Lax October 30, 2012

        Rihanna,,,,,,S&M,,,, Banned In 11Countries,,,
        There was quite a furore – this being back in the days before Fifty Shades of Grey had sold 20 million copies. Eleven countries banned the video. Meanwhile, fans jammed arena switchboards worldwide securing tickets to her tour. The following month, she became the youngest black woman to appear on the cover of American Vogue; by the autumn she added British Vogue to her covers, this time dressed as Marilyn Monroe. When Time placed her in its 100 Most Influential list this year, Stella McCartney penned an article in praise of her talent and style. On her Facebook page, 116,541 people have “liked” one album of photos labelled “Hawaii vaca”, the aesthetic of which can be summed up as a DIY Sports Illustrated, with more catwalk references. When River Island announced this week that it has signed Rihanna to design a collection that will go on sale on the British high street early next year, the news was acknowledged as a huge coup for the store.

      • Lax October 30, 2012

        Rihanna,,,,
        Rihanna’s wardrobe is the most talked-about, influential and dissected in pop right now. Beyoncé is mostly accessorised with a baby sling; Lady Gaga has spun off into high-concept theatrics; Katy Perry these days looks like she has wandered off the set of The Muppets. But what Rihanna wears – whether it is red hair, studded cut-off denims, electric blue sunglasses or a new look in nail art – is immediately reproduced on the high street, because it sells.

      • Lax October 30, 2012

        RIHANNA ,,,,,,
        The Rihanna of 2012 is Unrecognisable from the cookie-cutter R&B pop princess who emerged in 2004. Back then she was standard-issue urban-s*** in low-riding jeans, crop tops, tonged hair, hooped earrings; for evening, much the same but with diamante and tighter jeans. But in 2007, the year of her single Umbrella, everything changed. Her hair was dyed black and chopped into an asymmetric bob. In red carpet photos from the Nickelodeon Kids Choice awards that year, you can see the evolution in progress: she is wearing a pretty, multicoloured silk dress, but with a black leather corset belt over the top, and a fashiony front-row scowl instead of a teenybop smile. By 2008, she was rocking chainmail corsets at black tie events, power-shouldered jumpsuits for day and leather hotpants on stage.

        Rihanna,,,,,,
        Everytime we Write about Rihanna – her nails, clothes, makeup or hair – our traffic goes through the roof,” says Carrie Tyler, editor of elleuk.com. “She is a figurehead for gutsy, confident fashion choices. Women are fascinated by her because she takes the risks that her fans would like to take themselves. She’s got a beautiful, curvy figure but it’s her confidence that appeals as much as her body.

      • Lax October 30, 2012

        The Rihanna of 2012 is ­Unrecognisable from the R&B pop princess who emerged , the dominant images of Rihanna in the media were her onstage outfits, which were all leather straps, metal studs, fishnets and fierce heels: female sexuality as visual performance. This year, she has used her Twitter account to overlay this image with a different type of photo, which is equally revealing but very different in tone. These shots have been self-authored, of the singer in a bikini, usually on holiday with girlfriends, accessorised with a bottle of beer and no makeup. This latest Rihanna reinvention (and it won’t be the last) is more laidback, apparently closer to reality, than the video Dominatrix.

      • Lax October 30, 2012

        RIHANNA,,,,,
        Gemma Cairney, presenter for Radio 1Xtra and fashion stylist, says that “one of the brilliant things about Rihanna is that she gives the impression she doesn’t care too much. When she’s wearing a see-through bra top on the streets of New York, it feels very celebratory of her body and her sexuality.” But Rihanna’s provocative wardrobe stirs mixed feelings. “I’m torn on this subject,” admits Cairney, “because I love how s*** Rihanna is, and I love that she’s got a bottom and thighs with flesh on them and she’s out there in shorts, rather than covering up in a flattering pencil skirt. It makes me feel like, maybe you don’t have to be a stick insect and you can still feel good about your body. But on the other hand, going out just in your pants that’s fine if you’re going to nightclubs with your own private security, but most girls aren’t.” This year’s controversy over Rihanna’s apparent rapprochement with Chris Brown, the rapstar boyfriend who assaulted her three years ago, has left many women feeling even more uneasy about whether her hypersexualised image is empowering or depressing.

      • Lax October 30, 2012

        But Rihanna’s look is not just about s**. This is a young woman who loves fashion, and it shows. She is the first mainstream star to showcase the aesthetic of the current festival-going teens: think denim shorts, bright sportswear, kitsch accessories. For her Radio 1 Hackney Weekend appearance she wore an animal-print T-shirt over black shorts, fishnet cycling shorts, with gold jewellery and statement sunglasses; she took the tube in a fire-print oversized T-shirt (by Martin Margiela) and thigh-high leather boots. She regularly wears Gucci, Roberto Cavalli and Giorgio Armani, but adds hipster elements (Boy London) and high street pieces. “Her style is not just about wearing designer dresses,” says Cairney. “I like her look best when it has that carnival feel to it: bright and bold, animal prints, rooted in her Caribbean heritage. Then you feel like you could hit Topshop or H&M with her and she’d find something brilliant and be a real laugh.”

      • Lax October 30, 2012

        Rihanna,,,,,
        Malcolm Mackenzie is the editor of We Love Pop, a magazine for 13-15-year-olds. His readers recently voted Rihanna the most stylish modern pop star. “She mixes up pretty and scruffy. It makes her very lifelike to our readers: she’s living the dream and keeping it real. And more than any other star, she keeps things fresh by constantly changing her look, which gives the fans something new and keeps her in the spotlight.”

      • Lax October 30, 2012

        Key to Rihanna’s appeal is the sense that she is doing what she wants to do and having fun. To what extent her style is a straightforward reflection of this, and to what extent it is manufactured, is not easy to tease apart. When asked about the S&M video in an interview in British Vogue last year, she said: “that’s not me. That’s a part I play. You know, like it’s a piece of art, with all these toys and textures to play with.” Her fans, however, ardently want to believe that she is “just being herself” so that, for the most part, is the message they are given. “There is such an energy about Rihanna. She looks like a young woman who is living her life and doing things her way,” says Mackenzie. “Whether or not it is all part of a marketing campaign, the point is that it doesn’t come across like that.”

      Having first graced the Hot 100 the week of June 11, 2005, with the eventual No. 2-peaking “Pon De Replay,” Rihanna reaches 20 top 10s in a span of just six years and four months, besting Madonna for the quickest collection of top 10s among soloists (from an artist’s first Hot 100 appearance) in the chart’s 53-year history. Madonna tallied her 20th top 10, “Hanky Panky,” the week of July 28, 1990, for a stretch of six years and nine months after her chart introduction with “Holiday.” Rihanna, thus, bests Madonna’s mark by five months.

        Among all acts, Rihanna’s run to 20 top 10s is the second-fastest. Only the Beatles sprinted to the sum more quickly, taking just two years, seven months and one week between their chart entrance with “I Want to Hold Your Hand” (Jan. 18, 1964) and “Yellow Submarine,” which sailed 52-8 the week of Aug. 27, 1966. The Supremes are pushed to third-place among all artists, having collected their 20 career top 10s in a span of six years, five months and one week in 1964-70.

      Notably, in an era where songs can scale the Hot 100’s upper reaches in their debut week solely on the strength of hefty first-week digital sales, all 20 of Rihanna’s top 10s have received radio support concurrent with their moves into the Hot 100’s top 10. Seventeen of the 20, in fact, have reached the top 10 on Radio Songs, with eight bounding all the way to No. 1. And, even the three songs that missed the Radio Songs top 10 still made the list’s top 40 (“Break It Off,” No. 11; “Russian Roulette,” No. 35; and, “Cheers (Drink to That),” No. 13).

    Wouldn’t ‘desperate’ apply better if she sold her album for 0.90cents? *looking at you Gaga*

    • Gilberto October 29, 2012

      DefScam sold Rated Failure for 0.90 cents as well during the Black Friday. And Rated Flop failed to get #1. DEAD.

      • Luis October 29, 2012

        Yes, but if she was to be ‘desperate’ would she sell it for that price again or have a cheap deluxe edition to try and sell a few more copies.

        I highly doubt this album will be a #1, but this doesn’t seem to me desperate at all.

      • Luis October 29, 2012

        Yes, but if she was to be ‘desperate’ wouldn’t she sell it for that price again or have a cheap deluxe edition to try and sell a few more copies?

        I highly doubt this album will be a #1, but this doesn’t seem to me desperate at all.

    • JOHNVIDAL October 29, 2012

      You fail cos Gaga still sold 700,000 copies first week at full price while Rihanna did the exact same thing with Rated X and she still flopped once more with less than 200,000

    • Gilberto October 29, 2012

      B****, you’re DUMB as hell. First of all, Media Traffic is fake. Second, 4,539,000 are not sales! They’re points. I can’t. You’re so dumb that I feel bad for your mediocrity. Like I said f****** hundreds of times, you’re probably 15 y.o., you don’t know nothing about charts, history, economy and talent. You want to make your basic b**** less shittier, then you start to post b******* here hoping that someone will give a f*** about it. Well, b****, you can only impress other rihtards! I’ve been following charts since 2004, and I know the music industry very well. Media Fakeffic is nothing but a guessing chart. It is impossible for casual people like us know how much singles, albums and ringtones sell around the world. Every country has a different way of measure the success of a song, only a few countries have charts and a very few of them report the sales.
      If you want to have official and reliable SALES of singles and albums, b**** you should start to look upon IFPI’s articles.

    For 250 dollars you better include screencapped skype conversations between you and your celeb f*** buddy of your choice, a lock of the wig you wore during the Loud era, a signed copy of a recently taken pregnancy test and tickets to Beyonce at the superbowl.

    Even though I can’t see this selling very well, I MUST give credit to her team for trying an innovative marketing strategy for her album. In 2012 and on, that’s what artists are going to have to do to get people to buy a WHOLE album, especially a physical copy at that. It can’t just be about the music if you really want to sell POP music, everything sounds too similar. It’ll be interesting to see how music is sold ten years from now….

      I agree the price is crazy but you can’t hate on her team for trying something new. No ones buying albums especially physical copies like that anymore so you have to give your target market some type of experience they can’t jus illegally download or just listen to on youtube. Something that can only be purchased with the actual album which is an experience you can’t replicat. That’s innovative. Now if your a Bey stan, you better hope she jumps on the band wagon of innovative marketing cause lets be honest, “4” didn’t live up to supposed “star power” ya’ll claim she has. #TruthNoShade PS.

    Anyway, to the Deluxe Set. There are super-fans who are going to AB.SO.LUTE.LY fork over the $250 dollars for it. It is a great marketing strategy geared towards this type of fan. What’s the problem? These things have existed forever.

    Not so long ago, if you wanted to meet your musical idol backstage after a concert, there were only two ways to go about it to win a competition, or to sneak past the burly security guards into their dressing room.
    Now, however, if you have deep pockets then pretty much anything is possible. The Mail can reveal that a lucrative ‘meet-and-greet’ industry has grown up around pop stars such as One Direction, Justin Bieber and Cheryl Cole.
    Meetings last only seconds before fans are sent packing with a photo of themselves with their idol (and a poster and T-shirt if they are lucky), but they pay hundreds of pounds for the privilege.

    And it isn’t just t*** pop stars getting in on the act even veteran artists such as the Beach Boys are joining in. Tickets for these ‘meet-and-greets’ start at around 100, but ticket touts are snapping them up, often selling the tickets on for eye-watering sums.

    Concert Goer’s,,,
    This money-spinning industry hit the headlines last week when Cheryl Cole was criticised for charging 350 to meet-and-greet concert goers. But insiders insist the trend is driven by fans not stars.
    As music PR Stuart Bell, who represents Sir Paul McCartney, says, ‘Some stars’ fan bases are used to engaging with the stars directly through social networking. There is a sense in which they kind of expect to be able to get direct physical access to them as well.
    But he conceded‘It’s true that with record sales going down, you have to look at every bit of revenue that you can.

  102. Lax October 30, 2012

    Meet-and-greets can add up to 600,000 to tour revenues, if you assume two dozen per show on a 50-date tour. It is notable that most pop stars who have been in the business for a few decades don’t do ticketed meet-and-greets.
    Neither Sir Paul McCartney nor Rod Stewart offer such packages. Nor does Kylie Minogue. However, they all offer VIP or Platinum packages which allow fans to attend the soundcheck like a private concert and get guaranteed front-row seating, gifts and food or a party, too. Rod Stewart sells a ‘Hot Legs’ package along these lines for 1,250.

  103. Lax October 30, 2012

    Fans should be aware that most meet-and-greets tend to be delivered very much on the terms of their idols. In 2010, Sir Elton John sold a meet-and-greet package that came with the warning: ‘Photographs are at the discretion of Sir Elton.’ In other words, if you don’t behave yourself, he jolly well won’t pose for a picture.

  104. Lax October 30, 2012

    Superstar Beyonce has a ‘no hugging’ rule and her security team sternly advises her fans of this before they are ushered into her presence. Some stars object to meet-and-greets on moral grounds, believing they favour richer fans over poorer ones. British band Coldplay believe the system simply enriches ticket touts and agents, and opt to auction their own meet-and-greets directly to fans.
    This usually raises around 1,000 per ticket, which the band donates to the homeless charity Crisis.

    Cheryl Cole’s PR representative Sundraj Sreenivasan says the star plans to donate the money from the planned meet-and-greets on her current tour to her charity, the Cheryl Cole Foundation.
    350: For that price Cheryl Cole fans will get a photo with the songstress, a gift and an autograph

    Stuart Bell adds: ‘The old guard like the Stones and Sir Paul McCartney do occasional meet-and-greets with competition winners or for charity, which is how it always used to be. When Sir Paul was touring we had competitions to find the biggest fans in each territory and then he would meet-and-greet ten fans in Belgium, ten in Mexico and so on. It wasn’t for money they were not paying for it but he was pleased to do it.

  107. Lax October 30, 2012

    MEET & GREET CAN BE DANGEROUS FOR ARTIST,,,,
    Although stars stand to make hundreds of thousands of pounds from these meetings, there are risks, too. X Factor winner Leona Lewis was attacked by a fan at a book signing in 2009. The older crop of artists, who may remember John Lennon’s assassination in 1980, are generally wary of getting too close and personal with the public. Usually fans are supervised throughout by experienced security guards.

  108. Lax October 30, 2012

    While it is clear what pop stars get out of the arrangement, fans are increasingly left disappointed by the meetings. After a minute at most with the star, some superfans post the picture on their Facebook profile and declare they have had the best day of their lives. But others are not so impressed.

  109. Lax October 30, 2012

    Debra Phillips of Newcastle paid 270 so her daughter Cassie could meet her idols, pop group JLS, backstage in May this year and have her photo taken with them but was devastated when her favourite singer, JB, was cut out of the image, which was blurry. But then, these very lucrative brief encounters do have a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it quality.

That will enable fans to attend the band’s soundcheck, take home a gift and a commemorative laminated pass, meet the band and have their photograph taken with them.

        The modest success of 4’s singles at radio may be a sign of the times, as the sound of pop has shifted drastically in favor of techno-oriented dance music over sounds rooted in hip-hop and R&B in recent years, a development that has dovetailed with Rihanna’s gradual immersion in full-on club music. Though she began her career with roots in dancehall and R&B on songs like “Pon de Replay” and “Unfaithful,” she has moved towards full-on house music with hits like “Don’t Stop the Music” and “Only Girl (in the World).” Her biggest hits over the past year – “S&M,” “Who’s That Chick” with techno producer David Guetta, “We Found Love” with Scottish dance producer Calvin Harris – have wholeheartedly embraced radio’s current craze for dance music, which has been helped along by chart-toppers such as Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas and Katy Perry. (The mainstream embrace of dance music also has contributed to the genre’s thriving on the touring circuit, with festival-packing artists such as Deadmau5, Skrillex and Swedish House Mafia.) Much to her credit as an artist, Beyoncé has stayed true to her roots in classic R&B and is playing to her strengths, but at least in this moment, she’s out of step with prevailing trends in pop.

  126. aesthetic physician assistant salary 90 $13.76 0.04 May 10, 2019

    Claims the “bean counters” are telling us how we tend to be falling short.

    They come up with some scheme to get us to view more patients than we can easily reasonably see or the
    best way to “create” more procedures than are
    called for. This is bottom-line or practice-centered medicine and in my opinion is unethical in addition to immoral.
    It is also outside of everything we are called to do and is
    unnecessary and counter to a healthful practice. What I believe
    forms a healthy practice and is merely at the heart of doing what is
    good for patients, is the patient-centered seek the advice of.

    This type of consult is designed to are able to the root of the patient’s troubles
    and do all one can do to help them achieve their health
    and aesthetic goals.

    In this age of population-based medicine we have all been told to do the lowest, but that
    doesn’t change the proven fact that our patients are concerned along with optimal health and results.
    Olympic athletes do not win all their contests by training into the minimum nor will each of
    our patients be served by giving the minimum.
    Let’s check out an example of how population-based treatments is creeping into the examination room in a way that is not fully understood by physicians nevertheless
    has great impact on the affected person (many similar examples may be
    seen in medicine today):

    The drug businesses tell us that Plavix is mostly about 30% better than aspirin. What they do not tell us is that it is relatively 30% better.
    In overall terms it is about 1% better. What does this mean? Well, a single study on CVA typically the relative risk reduction was quoted as 25% though the absolute reduction was
    0. 9 for ASA against 1 . 2 for Plavix or about 0. 3% (1).
    Now Plavix expenses $5. 00 per tablet and ASA is about $0.

    05 so to the individual on the fixed income is the
    total difference of 0. 3% worth $4. 95 each day?

    Maybe, maybe not depending on numerous factors. Certainly
    it may be worth the cost to society but society is not paying the bill…
    the individual on a fixed income is actually.
    This is the confusion between inhabitants based and individual medication. Some have even advocated
    taxing or eliminating Aesthetic procedures to reduce overall health prices in the US.
    This may help a number of number followed by economists nevertheless is
    it serving the individual who will be interested in a specific goal?

    What exactly is the patient-centered consult? Treatments
    is complex and in certain, Aesthetic Medicine is elaborate, yet
    it has been reduced to help sound bites on TV. Commercials ask the question “Is it better than Botox? inch or “Is it much
    better than a Medical Peel? micron yet they
    do not give the solution or any real helpful information. Individuals have, in general, no practical
    idea of what can and are not done for them. The patient-centered
    consult is an educational expertise for the patient that helps them understand what is realistic and exactly is not.

    It starts with gaining a detailed understanding
    of what the patient’s concerns are, definitely not what treatments they are interested in. Most aesthetic patients are available in thinking they know what they desire.
    As an example many think they desire an upper lid blepharoplasty but
    what they really need is actually a brow lift. Other come
    in asking about fillers nevertheless really need Botox or the
    other way round. The understanding of what they are worried about is found
    not by requesting what they are interested in but rather, exactly what their
    concerns are. All of us start in a conversational method.
    Most often a patient will start by saying something like “I think I need Botox right here. inch My answer is generally something such as, “Well, that is certainly something we could do, but what is it which
    makes you want Botox? ” The next several questions are fond of helping the patient target the true issues behind the issues such as texture, tone, firmness, wrinkles, poor size, volume level etc .

    I use a consult tool I call typically the $10, 000 mirror. We certainly have a simple hand mirror who has no magnification on one part and 3 to 5 times magnifying on the other. I hand the item to the patient with the amplified side facing them. The particular interesting thing is that most people when given the looking glass will start looking very intently at themselves and even begin picking and brushing in things on their face. Then i have a checklist of items My partner and i ask them about. We feel the checklist item by product and discuss its influence on the overall appearance of the confront. Once this is completed, My partner and i formulate a plan of all that can be done for them, that will include stuff I can do but also things others may be able to do. For instance, I do not do deal with lifts, but if the result they are after is best served by way of a face-lift, I put that on the plan. It is hard to find that we don’t do most of what they will benefit from.
