Taking A Dive

August 23, 2016 Blind Gossip

woman diving[Blind Gossip] If your album sales have taken a dive over the past ten years and your label is trying to help you improve, the last thing you should do is dig in your heels and insist to the executives that you know more than they do about selling music.

You don’t.

You’re focusing on a lot of other junk that doesn’t make them money. They don’t care about your love life, your social media numbers, your little acting gigs or your promises to focus.

None of those things are selling records. And I know you know that all those distractions are partly to blame.

You’re ticking people off and they’re not going to put up with you for long. I’ll bet if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’re going to find yourself out of a home.

    Singer:
    Mariah Carey

    Clues: The dive looks like her dive in Honey but with a different bikini color. She recently got engaged/ex-hubby can’t shut up about her. Her Twitter followers is at 16.5M, 4.1M on Instagram, 20M likes on Facebook, 1.8B views on Youtube. Acting gigs is currently Empire and her reality TV show Mariah’s World.

    Not to mention her decline in album sales is obvious
    E=MC² – 2.5M
    Memoirs – 549,000
    Chanteuse – 122,000 in US

    [Optional] Should she listen to the label…

      [Optional] Should she listen to the label execs?
      Yes. Her music has been in a decline since the Glitter days and it’s such a shame since she doesn’t want to listen to anyone who might be able to save her career.

      The other guesses are good ones but none of them were selling 10-25M worldwide each album and had such a nosedive like Mariah has, especially over the last 10 years.

    This is Rhianna. Clue- Out of a home. She did the voice for the main character in Home.
    She’s done acting and fashion design in addition to her singing career. Didn’t she just bring out a range of shoes or something?

  3. QueenP760 says

    August 24, 2016 at 11:28 pm

    Ciara

  4. CamilliaC says

    August 24, 2016 at 4:54 pm

    I really feel this is Michael Buble. Everyone keeps guessing women, but no where does it say “She” or “Her”

    The swimming pool reminded me of a line in “Everything”..’youre a swimming pool, on an August day”

    And the clue Home.

    He has an album out in October.

  5. Mindflayer says

    August 24, 2016 at 3:03 pm

    It could be a couple of people who are 10 years in the music business. The diving does remind me of something. Hint pretty please?

  6. Richierich99 says

    August 24, 2016 at 2:55 pm

    Not Mariah Carey. She only recently returned to Sony and has solely released a Greatest Hits album with them. This sounds like someone who’s been pissing off her label for the last 10 years.

  7. Mindflayer says

    August 24, 2016 at 2:37 pm

    People. You do know it says over the past TEN years, right? So it is around 2006. Therefore it cannot be Ariana, Selena and probably not Justin. If you know what I mean.

  8. mightyaphrodite says

    August 24, 2016 at 1:56 pm

    This is Mariah Carey.

    Clues:

    1. Out of a home = the his n’ hers yachts they currently have.
    2. The photo diving into a pool = looks like her video for “Honey”

  9. luvprue1 says

    August 24, 2016 at 1:41 pm

    Singer : Ciara
    She might be drop from her label Epic records. According to one site L.A Reid is not happy with her record label .

  10. Katmandu says

    August 24, 2016 at 12:40 pm

    Most of the singers listed seem to be, IMO, has-beens. Leanne Rimes, really? Is anyone really waiting for a new album from her? Britney Spears, the performing pony? I wish and hope it was Beyonce, or Rihanna… I am all for Lady Gaga moving into other areas of show biz, though I don’t know how successful she will be. So if it’s her, I hope she finds the time to put out another killer album, or at least a good one.

  11. kittee says

    August 24, 2016 at 12:38 pm

    It’s obviously Ciara. 20,000 album sales, over million Twitter followers. LA Reid just announced he’s dumping her from his record label. Too busy with her marriages, relationships, baby than focusing on her music career.

  12. prinny says

    August 24, 2016 at 12:01 pm

    Brit Brit or Mariah, but I think only Brit has put music out recently. The only clue I picked up on is out of a home, ie Vegas residency. Of course she needs to listen to the label execs, sorry to say, but she’s not that bright. She seems more concerned with putting out bikini pics on IG.

  13. Golfbabe says

    August 24, 2016 at 11:47 am

    Mariah. She is so annoying.

  14. pikasupageti says

    the picture looks like when she dove into the pool in Honey (??) video after her first divorce

  19. bbatty says

    August 24, 2016 at 9:40 am

    Gaga

  20. Ran Dan says

    August 24, 2016 at 8:35 am

    Singer: Selena Gomez

    Clues: “social media numbers” she is the most followed person on instagram, “I know you know” she has a song called “I want you to know”…it reminds me of her somehow

    [Optional] Should she listen to the label execs? Idc, I highly doubt with the little talent she has people are going to miss her.

  21. danthemanhsv says

    August 24, 2016 at 8:13 am

    Lady GaGA

  22. Phillipmcd says

    GaGa

  23. j60dnl says

    August 24, 2016 at 5:41 am

    I’m saying Kylie Minogue.
    The swimming pool photo might refer to the ‘Slow’ video, “digging heels” = dance and disco, “without a home” = her time in Neighbours.

  24. SugarCookie says

    August 24, 2016 at 5:16 am

    Beyonce. But the entire record industry has seen album sales tank to historic lows (again).
    Album sales are down almost 17% so far this year.

    People are using streaming services: Pandora , iHeartRadio, iTunesRadio, Rhapsody, Spotify, GooglePlay, etc…

  25. readenreply says

    August 24, 2016 at 4:30 am

    Folks will say Gaga, but she hasn’t been around a decade yet.

    Sounds like JLo… given her boy toys

  26. basketballgrl says

    August 24, 2016 at 3:56 am

    My first thought was Leann Rimes but I think it has been more than 10 years since she has been relevant in the music world. Soooo…. Britney?

    She should listen. But she definitely won’t.

  31. jenvies says

    August 24, 2016 at 12:16 am

    Lady GaGa
    Pink didn’t listen to the label, and she has a much more authentic career now.

    Mariah Carey.

  34. chaseboogie says

    August 23, 2016 at 10:09 pm

    Ciara

    Clues: Love life, promises which was one of Ciara’s biggest songs.

  35. LogicFail says

    August 23, 2016 at 10:02 pm

    Singer: Grande likely, tho 10 years seems too long. Maybe Swift, but her numbers are fine. Gomez is under 10 years, so def not her. No clue. Certain other implieds are a they might get the middle finger right back tho and get proven wrong AGAIN like before.

    Clues: Too many across the board.

    [Optional] Should she listen to the label execs? Depends on what. Some execs are full of crap when they go on physical attributes tangents & what people will accept or not.

  36. bostonbratt says

    August 23, 2016 at 9:28 pm

    Mariah Carey

  37. rexczarina says

    August 23, 2016 at 9:19 pm

    Shakira. Her last two albums in English flopped and her last album in Spanish sold well but not as well as expected. They don’t care about your love life [she gets more attention for her relationship with Gerard Pique than for her music], your social media numbers [100 million “Friends” on Facebook, your little acting gigs [she had a small role in Zootopia], she has also come out with more perfumes than studio albums. Her career peaked a decade ago with the single “Hips Don’t Lie” from…

    • rexczarina says

      August 25, 2016 at 9:36 pm

      2006. She has also had problems with her record label in the past.

    I’m sure there are a lot of clues in this but I’m not getting any of them. So random guess, Mariah?

    • chicagogirl says

      August 23, 2016 at 4:47 pm

      Strike that. I missed the pronoun at the very end. It’s Mariah and her high heels.

    • missmarian says

    Singer: Katy Perry

    Clues: Social media numbers on Twitter, Love life with Orlando Bloom, Promoting new Lipstick, new Shoe line, Perfume, and hats, Singing her new single Rise, right after its release at the DNC and breaking her deal with NBC and the Olympics. NBC did not play the song at all so it flopped.

  58. TruveyTaylor says

    August 23, 2016 at 3:21 pm

    Rihanna.

    Tired * on-again-off-again “romance” with Drake.
    The Rihanna Navy who are not going out to see her like they used to.
    She’s gotta a gig in Ocean’s Eight, possibly.

    Poor dat.

  60. Brizzles says

    August 23, 2016 at 3:12 pm

    Christina Aguilera.

    Hints: red swimsuit is what she wore for the album artwork for her Back 2 Basics album, which is currently being reported on now for being 10 years old (released in August 2006).

    Lyrical references:

    “Dig” – sample from Back to Basics intro.

    “to blame” – lyric from “Hurt” off of Back to Basics.

    “Too long” / “found a home” – lyrics from ‘Understand’ off Back to Basics.

    “I know” / “you know” – lyrics from her new song ‘Telepathy’…

    • Brizzles says

      August 24, 2016 at 12:21 pm

      Also, Christina stated in an interview recently that she was taking time off from the Voice this fall to FOCUS on her kids, her engagement, and her upcoming show on Spike TV (game show called ‘Tracks’).

      No where did she mention focusing on an album, which is long overdue.

  61. amagod121 says

    August 23, 2016 at 3:10 pm

    Alex the answer is: who is Leann Rhimes? Darned if this lady doesn’t do this ALL of the time! She was so fortunate to find an interested record label in England since she ruined her name in America. And now she’s trying to fudge it up? Seriously?

    • amagod121 says

      August 23, 2016 at 3:14 pm

      Or else Lindsay Lohan. If she still has a record label. But my money is on LeAnn for this blind item!

    • amagod121 says

      August 23, 2016 at 3:17 pm

      Sorry, one last thing: LeAnn always runs around in swimwear, which is similar to the swimmer in the picture.

  62. ohnemit says

    August 23, 2016 at 3:09 pm

    The dive thing makes me think Beyonce, but I can’t see this being her. Sounds a lot more like Gaga to me…?

  63. Realistic says

    Brandy Norwood

  64. Molly7111 says

    August 23, 2016 at 3:01 pm

    Singer: LeAnn Rimes
    She hasn’t had that many acting gigs, but she’s the only person I can think of would rather promote her #happy# #hubbylove##stepsonlove# 24/7 than work. Her last album was a flop. Now, she’s with a new label and her first single video looks like she shot it on her cell phone.

    • StellaK says

      August 24, 2016 at 12:39 pm

      That was my first thought but her social media following isn’t impressive

  65. carriebradshaw says

    August 23, 2016 at 2:53 pm

    Britney, but “similar blind” is about Beyonce, her sales also has fallen.

    • JenJenJen says
