I just want to rant (AGAIN), rather than start another thread about it, about the sheer incompetence of Universal Music in Australia.
No singles.
No singles to the public.
No singles to the radio stations.
No TV ads (in SA, at least).
No radio ads (in SA, at least).
No newspaper or magazine adverts (in SA, at least).
NOTHING.
The album goes into the charts by word of mouth ALONE at number 9. It drops to number 19 in a week.
GEE, I WONDER WHY??????
How ****ing hard can be, with an advertising budget, to promote a freaking album, ffs?
BOOH: number 1 in Australia first
AFL: number 1 in Australia first (followed by TWENTY EIGHT other countries)
BOOH II: number 1 in Australia first
BOOH III: Meh, let's forget about, because the Aussies won't like it.
And if you visit their website (yes, they've managed to update it) and check out their careers section, these mongrels get paid a fortune, their perks are enormous, and WHAT DO THEY ****ING WELL DO TO EARN IT?
NOTHING.
ZIP.
ZILCH.
ZERO.
NADA.
****wits.
Erm, I think I'm done for now.
