Water Music artist, Alus, is unique with her R&B/Pop styling and sound. Blasting off in the industry with her single, “Run”, produced by Shaun Bless. In only one month, this budding songstress has already garnered 25,000 hits on Youtube and features on notable publication like King of A&R and Hits Daily Double to name a few.
Unquestionably, YouTube has been one of the 21st century phenomenons that has become a social stable. You can’t visually stay relevant unless YouTube is inclusive in your plan. It brings your creative vision closer to the public and if your blessed to go viral, it can change your lifestyle. What GothamJungle loves about YouTube is the graying of the entertainment playing field. An aspiring actor can potentially receive just as many views as an award-winning thespian or reality show participant.
Support is something that’s hard to quantify & we have been blessed to have a fan base that follows us consistently. Luckily, when we return we have qualitative content to deliver. We’ve been out the loop too long GoJu nation. There have been a lot of adjustments. We updated the website. Taking on a couple of new responsibilities. And have decided to step up our game as we grow into the year 2013. What does this mean for GoJu Nation? That answer will be arriving in the upcoming months GoJu nation. But for now we have a blog to get done and that means this week on da charts has returned. It’s been approximately 4 months since we posted and that’s way too long for GoJu nation to wait. With that being said, let’s see what the charts have to offer this week.
We end the work week off right GoJu Nation by providing you with the Digi-Singles chart. Let me start by giving a HUGE GothamJungle apology for being lax in supplying you with this listing. It’s the industry standard and deserves more respect. I’ll personally take a more involved effort to get you this chart more efficiently. Now lets see what we’re really looking at here.
Everyone is jumping on the cloud train these days. Apple has iCloud, Microsoft has their cloud services such as Office 365, Google has Google, lol. In additional to those, other companies are developing services that takes the space off your device and in the cloud. I am 50/50 on this idea, I feel some things can go cloud but other things need to stay private. It could just be my paranoia as a tech guy, but I digress. If you want that new hot sauce, it is not in the iCloud (sorry Apple), get up on Box.
Miami Heat 102 – NY Knicks 88
The Miami Heat and The Oklahoma City Thunder have fully established they are the cream of crop in this 1st half of the NBA season. We’ve had stories of the Lakers inner turmoil, where is Dwight Howard gonna be traded & how terrible the Charlotte Bobcats, Washington Wizards & the Detroit Pistons are. Finally we have the mid-season emergence of Jeremy Lin. Well after last nights performance Mive Content (who has held his tongue) finally has something to say.
Wondering what effect The Grammy’s have on sales GoJu Nation? The year of Adele is a wonderful case study. The UK superstar had an over 200% bump in sales last week as a result of her Grammy sweep. Record companies already invest a significant part of their marketing budget for the award season. But now they will re-double their efforts after seeing results like this (fyi.com.. I’m still tight that Katy Perry didn’t win anything that night). Especially if you can win one of the big 3 (song, record or album of the year). And before we get into da actual chart, lets remember GoJu Nation, The Grammy’s is an awards ceremony celebrating all genre’s of music. This isn’t a Summer Jam or Jingle Ball where you’re looking for a 3 hour concert. So to all the Soc-Net beasts who are emotionally throwing their immediate opinions around.. think before you press post.
Now we pick up the pace GoJu Nation… The end of the week brings us da digi-singles chart. Only Glee Cast with their latest (which will be a common occurrence until the TV season ends) breaks through on da chart this week. Your gonna have to bring it to break through on this list. Lets give you some perspective. The number 10 single on this chart has more sales than the number 1 album in da country this week. Now understandably it is a smaller investment to buy the singles. But still, the overall consumption of digi-singles is starting to dwarf da album charts. Let’s dive in and take a deeper look.
Yes GoJu Nation we have da album charts… And yes GoJu Nation things overall from a sales perspective are still declining. The number 1 album in the country? Only 95k this week.. The number 20 album in the country? 12.2k this week…. It’s like a cemetery at night, all bones and no meat. I feel like a jerk proclaiming earlier this year that this chart may be experiencing a renaissance. At this rate I’ll be writing this charts obituary if this doesn’t change. I predict that at this pace in the next 3 to 5 yrs albums will fall the way of the vinyl album. They will still make them but only the cream of the crop will be available. Let’s see if we can find something positive to report this week.
NE-YO is moving from DEF JAM GoJu Nation. He will stay in the Universal building but will be moving floors. He’s going to be the “flagship” artist to keep the MOTOWN brand alive. It has been a literal ghost town for the legendary label but hopefull with him & Erykah Badu and Kelly Rowland they can revive the label entirely (if that even means anything to this current A.D.D. generation). And that’s not all GoJu Nation…..
