couldawouldashoulda Posted June 30, 2019 at 01:33 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 01:33 PM Sony also got burned hard with LMBTL. They sent it to radios and the radios sent it back refusing to play it. I can see why Sony would give up on that front. Sales still go well enough. They’re probably more interested in selling albums than having a hit single. That’s why Celine has a month long break around November. They’ll want her to do promo to sell the album. Even though she’ll have yet another new song by then, I’m sure, it won’t be about making the song a hit but rather using the song to sell the album. 4 Quote
Xpresso Posted June 30, 2019 at 01:36 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 01:36 PM But Sony still has to keep trying. People are interested in Celine again so I'm sure some radio stations are also interested more than during the last album. Never give up! Celine should teach some lessons to Sony! 5 Quote
couldawouldashoulda Posted June 30, 2019 at 02:19 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 02:19 PM HA! Sony doesn’t have to do anything. As a business, I’m sure they’re only concerned with making more money than they spend. They know they’d have to make a payola deal to get radios to play Celine so they’re not going to bother. They know she’ll sell better than many other artists on their roster just off of her name. After all, the live version of Flying on My Own did decently on sales. And now they’ve released the studio track of the same song and it’s doing more sales. Then the album will come out and we’ll all have to buy it again! Unlike when I bought Kelly Clarkson’s last album. She released a single and they had the entire album on iTunes with only that single track available for purchase. Once the album was released, all I had to do was click “complete my purchase” to get the rest of the album. But Flying on My Own is listed as its own album that we’ve all bought. Quote

mirage Posted June 30, 2019 at 03:41 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 03:41 PM And it also depends on the song. Back with LMBTL she wasn't as hot as she is now. And the song for me wasn't that good either. This is the perfect timing to sail on the winds of change... But Sony still has to keep trying. People are interested in Celine again so I'm sure some radio stations are also interested more than during the last album. Never give up! Celine should teach some lessons to Sony! 4 Quote
homerton Posted June 30, 2019 at 04:35 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 04:35 PM If as much effort went into the promotion as choosing the hideous outfits in sure she’d have a hit. Pepe is a terrible influence. Concentrate on the music opposed to silly outfits 2 Quote

Pepe is a terrible influence. Concentrate on the music opposed to silly outfits It's what she wants to do. I'm pretty sure that if she wasn't doing this fashion thing, we wouldn't have heard a thing from her (she would be in her PJ's playing with the twins).At least she's doing what she loves ánd getting exposure for it. 3 Quote »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» MATHIAS ««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««««https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzPrxI0AIDY

AdrienneM Posted June 30, 2019 at 05:03 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 05:03 PM Or simply that it is a gift and Sony, nor Celine, want to promote it Quote
CelineDionFreak Posted June 30, 2019 at 05:15 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 05:15 PM I can’t quit listening to it. It’s just so perfect. Vocals, music, everything.

Many people always say that Celine needs a ‘Believe’ (Cher) moment - that Celine can have another #1 at her age. What many people don’t know is that Cher spent many weeks/months promoting it across the US. It’s 5 month ascent to #1 is mainly due to Cher promoting it like crazy. We all know Celine doesn’t like promoting her music for an extended period of time. She just does a couple of shows and print. But it’s her choice. And it makes her happy so who are we to complain? 3 Quote
maki_Dion-er Posted June 30, 2019 at 07:05 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 07:05 PM (edited) I get wanting Celine to have another huge success but why does it HAVE to be Flying on My Own? It's a good song but it's not the greatest song to have ever existed. If Celine and team/Sony felt they could "dispose" of this song so far away from the release of the album then they must have much bigger songs that are more worthy of promotion. This is the song chosen as a send off from Vegas and I don't think it was planned for more. Just enjoy it. I might be wrong but I believe releasing the song also gives them an idea of how many people are keeping tab on her new music vs how much promotion she'll need. This is gonna get non-hardcore fans aware of her upcoming album. Maybe (if we're lucky) we'll get one more song during summer. Edited June 30, 2019 at 07:09 PM by maki_Dion-er 3 Quote
fred Posted June 30, 2019 at 07:24 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 07:24 PM (edited) Of what I know Cher did no promo in Sweden yet Believe was massive on the radios. Radio played and people craved for it. When it comes to Céline singles no one can crave it since no one knows it's out. I Think many people I know think she's been silent since IDAN. BTW she's been on Spotify Sweden's list for New Music Friday for some days now. To me it feels awsome. Haven't ever seen her on a current Spotify list, what I can recall.

LOL I didn't know a song was good only if fans loved it. But in all fairness, she doesn't have a lot of fans then because again numbers are very bad! Whether it's streams or itunes or views on YT , it's a disaster. Nobody cares beside 10 fans on this forum -) Even Sony is trying to minimize the flop by saying "it's a gift to the fans".... just like other pop singers say it was a "buzz single" to justify a flop. Sony is not gonna fool anybody by saying it's not sent to radios or there won't be any music video ... they are telling us that what's they do when it's an official single maybe? haha... what a joke! 1 Quote

fred Posted June 30, 2019 at 09:38 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 09:38 PM To me it's troubling that her instagram posts about the studio version gets far less likes than her posts about Paris fashion week…… Could it be that they watched the "live" version and decided they didn't like it? 1 Quote Peace and love to all.

Shaun Posted June 30, 2019 at 09:48 PM Posted June 30, 2019 at 09:48 PM The reality is, with these numbers, if Celine were a new artist she’d be in danger of being dropped by the record label. Why has her music buying (and listening) audience deserted her? How can she sell 900,000+ tickets for a tour named after an unreleased album but those same fans aren’t listening to any new music she releases? If people don’t like what they hear that’s fair enough but people aren’t even listening to her new material to see if they like it! Very very strange I have to say. 6 Quote Bringing you the world's only Celine Dion podcast show since 2014.Find us on Soundcloud, Apple Podcasts, Spotify & Amazon Music.

Her audience is not a streaming audience. No record label would drop any artist that can still sell that many albums with a very small promo budget. Sony still makes money. Actually maybe even more money than the acts that get millions of streams in a few days... Edited June 30, 2019 at 10:14 PM by Xpresso 2 Quote
