This blog post is my take on the podcast “Katy Perry’s Perfect Game” by Zoe Chace . This podcast appeared on the NPR website on January 20th, 2012.
1. The main point of this article is to tell the listener how much success Katy Perry had in the year 2011. Katy had her biggest years coming off 5 number one hits off of one album. Right off the beginning I was surprised that Katy Perry was played the most on the radio and that she had 5 number one songs on one album. Also I was surprised that the record companies don’t make much money off of music tracks. I guess now with so much pirating music these companies lose a lot of revenue.
In this podcast it was talking about the record company makes barely any money making a record. Most people think they make a lot of money because of all the success the artist have but the record company doesn’t get any of the profits from t shirt sales, posters, etc. Those go to other companies and the artist. The only person or people that make a lot of money is the artist or artists.
This past year was an amazing year for Katy Perry. Having 5 hit singles on one album is an amazing accomplishment for an artist. Most artists would be happy with at least one hit single on their album, but 5 is an amazing feat.
Making an amazing record isn’t cheap either. It cost the record company $1.5 million dollars to produce Katy Perry’s album. But luckily having an artist like Katy Perry she made the record company $8 million dollars. So $6.5 million dollar profit which is really good in today’s economy.
