Rihanna's Career In Freefall As Album Flops, Grammy Appearance Was Cancelled And Tour Postponed

 

Rihanna aging poorly due to massive drug and alcohol use

Rihanna's "Anti" album fiasco continues full speed. The album was deliberately leaked by Jay Z and Tidal, a foolish move that resulted in a public mudslinging match between the company and Universal Music. Jay Z's Roc Nation lied about a $25,000,000 deal from Samsung regarding an upcoming Rihanna tour, when the company didn't even promise half that figure.

Samsung also paid $1 per album for 1,000,000 copies of "Anti" which were immediately disqualified by the Billboard charts, as the public did not buy them, one corporation did so. To save face, Jay Z lied stating Rihanna had sold 400,000 copies of "Anti" during the first week of sales, when only 460 copies were purchased by the public. News also surfaced that ticket sales for Rihanna's "Anti" tour are very poor. Sales are so bad they have been giving many tickets away, far more than usual, through contests and to radio stations in promotions, to fill the unsold, empty seats.

This past Saturday, Rihanna abruptly cancelled her Grammy awards appearance, where she was slated to perform. Rihanna claimed bronchitis, but people noted she was seen out the day before and did not look or sound sick. This week it was announced Rihanna's "Anti" tour has been postponed, despite the fact it was due to begin at the end of this month (February 28, 2016). That's enough time to recover and Rihanna largely lip-syncs anyway.

Roc Nation and Universal are going into meltdown, as is Rihanna, due to her sales being in the toilet across the board. Roc Nation and Universal were afraid Rihanna's frequently delayed "Anti" album would flop (and now it has) but they didn't expect it to do this poorly or for the tour to suffer such weak sales. They have been actively trying to cover up what has transpired, but with sales flops, it is an exercise in futility, as it means money is not being made, but loss on the corporate end (and for the recording artist).

Tidal Is Killing Off Record Sales And Major Label Executives Are Angry About It

Jay-Z

The Judiciary Report has it on good authority that music industry executives are not happy with Jay Z and Madonna's weird music streaming service Tidal. The company was formerly named Aspiro and purchased by a handful of entertainers, led by Jay Z and Madonna. Tidal did a very poor roll out of Rihanna's flopped album "Anti" last month. Universal Music, the parent company of Jay Z's Roc Nation, which Rihanna is signed to, slammed Tidal for it, publicly labeling them "incompetent." Rihanna's album sold 460 copies in the first week, which is a dismal failure for a major label artist. 

Fraud transpired in the second week and "Anti" allegedly sold 124,000 copies, which is still half the numbers her albums usually debut with on the charts. However, the numbers still don't sound right. To sell 460 copies in two days, then all of a sudden 124,000 in the five day proceeding it, indicates outright fraud and a buying team or hacking. That is the strangest sales pattern ever seen in music. No album has done that in music history, indicating the numbers are completely fake. The album is dead on arrival anyway, due to it being a poor recording with no hits or meaning.

Kanye West

They've lost approximately $30,00,000 in sales due to Jay Z's nonsensical foolishness. Samsung bought 1,000,000 copies of "Anti" for $1 each, but that works out to nothing in the face of the exorbitant costs of recording the long delayed album and the cut agents, managers, producers and music publishers receive. The deal with Samsung being worth $25,000,000 is  a lie. They have been promised far less money and those funds are to book arenas and hire staff for a tour.  

Last week, the roll out of Kanye West's album "The Life Of Pablo" was botched, ending up as another so-called leak under the misdirection of the rapper's mentor, Jay Z. The leak was done it such a way that it was easily ripped and uploaded to illegal music download sites such as Pirate Bay (why is Pirate Bay still operating - they are flagrantly breaking international law). 

As a result, the album "The Life Of Pablo" has been illegally downloaded 500,000 times, costing West and company an estimated $10,000,000. After the rigged leak by Jay Z, West announced that the album "The Life Of Pablo" will no longer be for sale and only available on Tidal. It is another desperate attempt by Jay Z and Madonna to keep floundering Tidal going at artists' expense. Furthermore, Apple Music streaming is a far superior product that is trouncing Tidal in the sales department.       

 

Copyright stealing Rihanna sporting a new haircut and weave this past week. How Ironic is it that I gave my mother that same haircut A MONTH prior. A woman twice your age wore it better than you (LOL). But yea, Rihanna, you're so cutting edge and such a trendsetter (sarcasm). Seriously though, that haircut looks better on someone with a human sized forehead, rather than an alien one like Rihanna (LOL). 

Tidal is a failure and one the music industry is tired of in many ways. People are signing up for free trials (having to provide their credit card/bank card number) and then canceling as soon as the time expires, as it is a very poor service. Many have complained their credit cards/bank cards were charged anyway after closing their Tidal account, prompting financial disputes (Tidal Ripped Off Consumers Fraudulently Charging The Credit Cards Of Former Customers Who Closed Their Music Streaming Accounts).

The music industry brass dislike free albums and leaks. It drives down overall album sales and averages. Many music industry executives are angry at Tidal and want the company to go. It is not empowering artists. It is being run by crazy cultists with no understanding of business and are devoid of a balanced perspective. For the industry to survive there needs to be solid sales, not botched releases and weird album roll outs that confuse the public.

Kanye’s botched album release costs him $10M 

February 17, 2016 | 12:10am - Kanye West’s troubled release of his latest album, “The Life of Pablo,” has already cost the hip-hop star at least $10 million in sales, a review of estimated pirated downloads on Tuesday revealed. TorrentFreak, which tracks music piracy and file-sharing, reported that West’s album was illegally downloaded more than 500,000 times in the first 24 hours of its Feb. 14 release. That made it the most ripped-off album by far on The Pirate Bay and other file-sharing sites... 

West also planned to offer album downloads for $20 on his kanyewest.com site. If each of the 500,000 persons illegally downloading the album would have bought it for the $20 selling price, Kanye would have pocketed $10 million in revenue.

Domestic Violence Group Calls For Boycott Of ‘50 Shades Of Grey’ Film Citing Abusive Sexual Relationship

50 Shades Of Grey

ABC News affiliates are reporting on television that there is a campaign to boycott the forthcoming film “50 Shades Of Grey.” The Independent newspaper reports, the hash tags #50dollarsnot50shades and #50ShadesIsAbuse is being spread on popular social networking site Twitter by Stop Porn Culture, the London Abused Women Centre and the National Center on Sexual Exploitation.

50 Shades Of Grey

The groups want the public to donate the $50 they would spend going to see the movie to domestic violence charities stating, “Hollywood doesn‘t need your money; abused women do.” The campaign further stated, “Hollywood is advertising the Fifty Shades story as an erotic love affair, but it is really about sexual abuse and violence against women” and “this book (and film) romanticizes a perpetrator of abuse.” Many critics have deemed the relationship in the book and subsequent film abusive. The movie has 20-minutes worth of sex scenes that are being described as porn.

Justin Bieber Collapses In London During Concert

Just hours after a dressing down from his record label Universal, proceeded by his vitriolic Twitter rant, commiserating his troubles as a pop star, singer Justin Bieber collapsed in London, England, after complaining of shortness of breath during a concert performance. Bieber was rushed to a local hospital.

This marks the second time people in England have missed parts or all of Bieber's show. Days ago Bieber showed up 2 hours late for his performance, leading to disgruntled fans leaving before he hit the stage, to make national curfew in England. This latest incident regarding his collapse, saw his manager Scooter Braun inform the crowd the show is over early, as Bieber is not feeling well (though he was reportedly well before the show).

Justin Bieber

The 19-year-old singer has been drinking and taking drugs (marijuana and sizzurp). This coupled with the pressure Bieber has been under lately, caused his collapse at the O2 arena in London. The Judiciary Report warned in a previous article, Justin Bieber Complains About Rumors But Isn't Being Specific Leading To More, that Bieber should not drink and take sizzurp, an illegal drug that is a mix of codeine, Sprite and other substances, as it will negatively impact the respiratory system and heart (see: shortness of breath, respiratory failure and or heart attack). 

Justin Bieber Goes On A Twitter Tirade After His Label Spanks Him For Terrible PR Fiasco

Uh oh, Justin snapped ya'll. The teen pop singer took to Twitter to vent his frustration about rumors he deems untrue - everything from city fines for his London show gone wrong and claims about his girlfriends. This comes after his record label Universal hauled him into their offices and read him the riot act over showing up two hours late for his London show, creating a PR disaster and disgruntled fans. Widely read blog TMZ sucker punched Justin stating his career is ending, blaring the headline, "The tide is turning" on Bieber.

The 19-year-old's tardiness created a big scandal in Britain, as video footage of him being vociferously booed by the audience when he finally arrived, circulated around the world. Irate parents who paid good money for their kids to watch Bieber in concert, $50-$600, were angry.

"Justin Thiever"

Parents were forced to console their disappointed daughters, then take them home without seeing the show, in order to make national curfew laws set for kids with school the next day. The city of Greenwich has declined to fine Bieber for causing some to break state curfew.

Those pants! Why! It makes it look like Justin needs his diaper changed

Reports in press indicate the next day angry parents went to Bieber's hotel to show him their displeasure at what transpired. He has been branded "Justin Thiever" over the incident, in a picture circulated on the internet. Refunds are in order.

Bieber beware: Record bosses urge Justin to cut down on the partying after O2 concert fiasco

7 March 2013 - He was ordered to a 5pm conference call by Universal chiefs following the PR disaster that was Monday's performance in London. It's the pop equivalent of being made to stand in the corner. Or told to do 100 lines. (As in the schoolboy kind. Not Kate Moss.)

Yesterday an under-fire Justin Bieber was given the telling-off of his young life during a 20-minute Skype chat with furious record label bosses in the US.

The Canadian singer was ordered to a 5pm (UK time) conference call by Universal chiefs following the PR fiasco that was his Monday night performance at London’s O2. After keeping fans waiting for two hours, with no apparent justification, JB was also said to have been less than excited about a subsequent fan meet ’n’ greet. Off the back of a spate of late nights and erratic behaviour, the foetus has been, well, grounded.
Unfortunately for Justin, his verbal warning came just 12 hours after he rolled in from yet another night of partying in the capital.

A source said: "Being amidst a barrage of abuse is uncharted territory for Justin. Understandably he is finding it hard to take. "He is a huge cash cow for the label and of course they’re desperate to keep both him and the fans sweet. "His erratic behaviour and antics are not what his impressionable young fans expect of him.

Google's You Tube Strips Billions Of Views From Rihanna, Chris Brown And Beyonce Videos Claiming They Were Fraudulently Created By Hackers

 

Rihanna

 

The music industry is always trying to falsify something, to create hype for their artists, in attempting to make them look far more successful than they really are in real life. There's payola, where disc jockeys and radio stations are unlawfully paid money to play artists records more, as each time the song airs, it contributes to the single's chart position on Billboard.

There are payments issued to stations that specialize in music videos and pop culture, as inducements to play video clips and conduct interviews with artists to promote their albums. There's the Soundscan scam artists like Jay-Z employed via bribing select retailers to run each unit of their CDs through the register multiple times to inflate sales.

The latest scandal broke yesterday, regarding artists and their record labels employing hackers to artificially inflate the number of You Tube views they receive, which is used as a gauge for popularity. You ever wonder why some of the crappiest videos on You Tube have an enormous view count - well wonder no more. You Tube has come down on Universal and Sony for this practice of using hackers to fraudulently inflate their artists view count.

The sad part about this fraudulent conduct at radio, retail, television and online is it has so tainted the record books. The music charts and Guinness World Book of Records has become so tainted and inaccurate because of certain artists greed for glory and fame that is undeserved.

At the end of the day, I cannot understand how anyone could do any of the aforementioned deeds and feel any pride about said false achievements. It's all hype and fraud. Their careers are lies. Who in their right mind could be proud of such fakery and trickery. As the Judiciary Report has consistently maintained for years, history has a terrible way of correcting itself.

U.S. Music Industry Sued In Canada For Stealing 300,000 Songs

The U.S. music industry, headquartered in New York, has been sued in Canada, by the estate of jazz legend, Chet Baker, among others, for infringing the copyrights to 300,000 songs, without payment to the writers. And Hollywood wonders why the public has no respect for them. How can you lecture the nation on not stealing, when you are the chief of all thieves.

Hollywood loves to infringe copyrights, then promise to pay pittance later, after they've made huge profits from breaking the law. Never mind people like me that never would or will grant them permission to use copyrights they greedily eye up and often break the law to get their nasty, despicable hands on, via methods such as hacking or visiting internet sites of indie artists, then illegally copying the musical contents for criminal reuse. Disgraceful!

Major record labels rip off 300,000 songs for compilation CDs, may owe $60 billion in damages

POSTED AT 6:33 AM December 7, 2009 - Jazz great Chet Baker's estate is suing the major record labels for releasing his music on Canadian CDs without paying compensation (a common practice in Canada, where over 300,000 songs have been released on CD without compensation). The defendants -- Warner Music Canada, Sony BMG Music Canada, EMI Music Canada, and Universal Music Canada -- have admitted that they owe at least CAD$50 million, but Baker's estate is entitled to up to CAD$60 billion.

The claims arise from a longstanding practice of the recording industry in Canada, described in the lawsuit as "exploit now, pay later if at all." It involves the use of works that are often included in compilation CDs (ie. the top dance tracks of 2009) or live recordings. The record labels create, press, distribute and sell the CDs, but do not obtain the necessary copyright licences...

The class action seeks the option of statutory damages for each infringement. At $20,000 per infringement, potential liability exceeds $60 billion.
