Test saves

[Jord]

Sting was #1 two weeks, then GNR stole it from him.

Both albums had a song charting in the top 10.

[Jord]

The next week: same (sales dropped a little).

The next week: same. Both albums have a track in the top 10 still.

The albums have no hype. But the artists have maxed out hype.

The next week: Albums still #1 and #2. GNR's sales went up again. Album tracks still top 10 in singles charts.

The next week:  same.

Guns N Roses sold 7,3 million copies in 6 weeks.

Sting sold 9,3 million copies in 8 weeks.

 

I might revisit Sting and GNR in a next save, but then I'll be having more artists. First I'm gonna edit stuff.

 

 

 

[Jord]

New save:

+ Sting with lowered reputation (around 35)

Pearl Jam (Rock) have 1 reputation

Alice in Chains (Metal) have 1 reputation

Bon Jovi (Rock) have around 30-38 reputation

Guns N Roses (Rock) 50 and Rush (Rock) 39 (which is too high, I already know it)

Van Halen (Metal) have 15 reputation (might be too low, but I'm testing it)

Alice in Chains wrote 28 songs in 20 days!!! Wow.

Sting was also very productive (19 songs).

 

 

[Jord]

The quality of the songs of Alice in Chains was questionable.

And I couldn't get the best producer. But they came back with this:

Overall rating of the album is 96, 100, 97. I pushed the release date back so I can do a single first.

 

Sting's album is out already:

#1 (500,000 sold, in the USA).

This is with low rep really.

 

 

[Jord]

Sting went to #2 and back to #1 and stayed there.

 

Alice in Chains enters the singles charts at #11. I wonder if they plummet the next week. lol

 

Album of Van Halen came back: 96, 97, 92 with one excellent song on it.

 

By the way the strength of the genre is only 6. Of Metal. Both Alice in Chains and Van Halen are metal bands in this db.

[Jord]

The next week: Sting stays #1, Alice drops to #15.

The next week: Sting stays #1, Alice bounces back to #14.

Rock music rules:

Sting down to #18.

Alice in Chains their reputation is up to 18 in America. Started at 1.

 

It's funny to see that Rush sold more physical copies than Pearl Jam this week, but they are way behind in streams.

I wonder if that's an age thing. Of their fans.

It's been a while since I got a like from Toby... maybe he doesn't like Rock music. haha

 

I released a single from Bon Jovi: It debuted at #6, then dropped to #7, then to #8, then to #12.

 

I promoted it and it's a 100 melody 100 commercial song. What gives? It didn't make a profit. lol

At least the videos kinda did, making the lost money back.

 

Almost the end of the year.

We made $344 million dollars and I didn't even try hard. 

We sold 89,8 million albums and 23 million singles.

I have 4,550 CEO points which would put me 4th on the Leaderboard. lol

 

Next: time for a new save (featuring Michael Jackson).

[Jord]

New test!

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. almost maxed out reputation + Superstar tag

Whitney Houston. average of 82 reputation, 90 in the USA

Kylie Minogue: just 13 reputation in the USA. a little better around the world though

Bruce Springsteen: he's a great in the game. 85 rep in the USA and 81 in Europe

 

Alanis Morissettte: not debuting until 1991

 

and I also have:

Angie Stone

Def Leppard

Weezer

and Template Importante (I use him as a template in the editor)

his ratings are 70 for almost everything but his current artist rating only 10 and potential only 20. Gonna check what effect that has.

 

 

and returning are:

Alice in Chains

Guns N Roses

Bon Jovi

Van Halen

Pearl Jam 

Rush

and Sting

 

just to see if it was a fluke or not, the success of Alice in Chains.

I made a slight change to Rush: I made their current and potential rating 50. Let's see if it affects their sales.

[Jord]

Alice in Chains were the most productive again: 27 songs in 20 days.

They're the first to go into the studio. With poor to average lyrics again. 

The rest is sent back to write more songs.

[Jord]

The best producer I could get for Alice in Chains was a 96, 60, 99 rated producer.
Let's see what he comes up with. Low for melody but we'll see.

The end result: 95 lyrics, 99 melody, 96 commercial.

Good enough for me. 🤣

[Jord]

Uh oh:

So I have to sell stock.

Sold 5% of the shares for 24 million or so.

[Jord]

Alice in Chains on top:

[Jord]

Bruce Springsteen is #1 (singles):

Template Importante reached #16 and dropped to 27.

 

Alice in Chains stays #1 in the album charts.

 

[Jord]

Bruce still #1 in week 2.

Van Halen #1 in albums, Alice in Chains #2.

[Jord]

Bruce Springsteen still #1 in week 3.

Alice in Chains back to #1, Van Halen 2nd.

[Jord]

Bruce Springsteen dropped to #2.

And this is the album chart:

Guns N Roses at #1. No surprise really. But Template Importante's 5th place kind of is.

[Jord]

Bruce Springsteen back to #1 in the singles charts. Maybe because he promoted his album on all the talkshows.

 

Albums:

I have the top 8. Bruce #1, GNR #2, Rush #3.

[Jord]

Whitney Houston enters the charts at #1:

 

Not many changes in the album top 8. Rush dropped two places, that's it. Still have the top 8.
