Maymay Entrata? I suggest you change the other Filipino artist that are not well known. You could've added Regine, Lea, Gary V, Martin&Pops, Jake Zyrus, Jona, TNT Boys, SB19, and Jed Madela. Artist who brought recognition to their country.

I just met SB19 (because of their song with Ben&Ben and I'm in love with them lol), thank you

Hey!
First, Thanks for your work it's amazing !
I feel like (as a French) that you got some artist i don' teven know like thomas Bengalt (Who is that for real ? xD) but you miss some incredible ones (And really famous nowadays) like Nekfeu, Alpha Wann, Vald or Orelsan for Rap.
You also got Polo & Pan pretty famous in international ! (Like a lot !)
just tell me if you need or want a bigger list !
Again, thanks for your work !

Thank you, i would love to see your list, here in Brazil is really hard to know artists from other countries (except from US, UK or some from others countries from Latin America)

Avatar (Sweden), Avenged Sevenfold (USA), Breaking Benjamin (USA), Disturbed (USA), Ghost (Sweden), Hinder (USA), Limp Bizkit (USA), Nickelback (Canada), Papa Roach (USA), Seether (South Africa), Shinedown (USA), Skillet (USA), Slipknot (USA), Starset (USA), Theory (Canada), Three Days Grace (Canada), Trivium (USA), Volbeat (Denmark)

[Unrealistic Album Charting]

On 4/19/2021 at 5:47 PM, Mark said:

So this issue brings up a number of problems I'm battling with.

1. Smaller charts with lower sales figures are affected so much more dramatically than the higher one.

2. If I made it so it was near impossible for an exceptional release to do well id get complaints.

 - So to counter this I plan to do the following.

Hard mode will make it extremely hard for you to chart well without reputation. It wont make the next patch but maybe the one after.

3. I still need to reduce the frequency of very high quality tracks being produced.

I really like your alternative, and I think will be better if you do that for the others artists too, not just ours

it is very strange to see a local Brazilian artist at # 1 in all countries even with a reputation 1 for example

[Can't add an artist on a band]

I just realized that I posted in the wrong section of the forum, sorry 

[Can't add an artist on a band]

I'm trying to create new bands in the editor, but I can't add the artists in the bands. They do not appear in the list of available artists when I try to edit band members, and when I edit the artist directly and put him in a band, the band remains empty.

I uploaded the database I'm editing. I created the band LUSS and the artists Nonlapan and Sirasith for this band, however they do not appear in the list of available artists. The same happens with the band Oh! GG, where only 3 of the 5 artists created do not appear as available. 

RealWorld2021.db

[Bands in Game Editor]

Hey @Mark, thanks for adding that feature. Can you add these one too?

 

[Limit of festivals and awards in the editor]

I am creating a realistic mod with a friend and we noticed that there is a limit of 20 awards and 20 festivals in the game editor. Is there a possibility that this limit is a little higher? I believe that if there were 30 awards (and the awards elements to 350 or something like that) and 30 festivals, it would be perfect to make this mod even more realistic. 

[About streams, sales and reputation]

I have observed that some artists get some great hits in countries where the reputation is extremely low (example: delta goodrem debuted a single at # 1 in Brazil, but its reputation is 1). It would be nice if there was more "resistance" for artists with a low reputation.

Another thing is about streams. I already change the sales for each country but still some countries have very low numbers for streams. A few examples: the number 1 in Mexico is doing 2.5 million streams, in Brazil, 2 million, in Colombia, less then 1 million, but these countries actually make bigger numbers just with spotify, and besides spotify they have other great platforms like Deezer for Brazil, and Apple Music itself.  another thing that I realized but didn't notice yet is different in the last patch is that the album streams looked like random numbers, and not the sum of the streams of each track, as it happens in reality.

To conclude, I think it would be better to have a reduction in digital sales, but mainly in physical sales (mainly for singles), because today only great artists sell a number of considered physical albums / singles, the vast majority of revenue comes from streams 

I'll put some examples of Spotify Charts from countries that I believe would need an increase in streams  (https://spotifycharts.com/regional/br/weekly/latest)

 

 

[Bands in Game Editor]

Hey @Mark, it would be nice if in the option of editing the reputation of the bands I had the possibility to edit randomly as is possible in the editing of the artists

I'm creating a new mod and that will help a lot

[Can't select an arena to book tour]

I'm trying to book a tour manually, but there is two spaces to select an arena that is not working (the first one keeps a blank space even after I select an arena and the second one is not even working) and i'm also can't confirm & continue (button not working). I'm using the real artists data base and I made some editions on country info, labels, artists and streaming.

[Bug on award elements]

I'm using the real artists db and I edited the Grammy Awards, putting 20 items but on game are only showed the first 10. I notice that just now when I was looking at the awards on game (I started in Jan 01, 2020 and now I'm in Aug 17, 2020

[1st single are not counting as album track (streams)]

I don't know if it's a bug, but the first single released for the album is not counting streams for the album (there are now 2 versions of this single). The second single was also released before the album but it usually counts: 

 

1st single released before the album:

New version of the single created after the album release:

 

2nd single released before the album:

2nd single counting streams for the album correctly

[Album tracks on charts - Bug?]

I don't know if someone said this already, but album tracks are also not debuting on Worldwide/Continent charts, only on countries charts
