Peter Andre hits out at marketing of his album
Published July 06, 2004
If you're wondering why Pete Andre's new album - which was released on 7 Jun - is yet to go Top 40 despite the singer scoring two Top 3 singles this year it's all down to bad marketing, and nothing to do with the fact that Andre is a bit of a novelty act who appeals mainly to single buying teenagers - oh no.Andre told Radio 1 this weekend: "Basically what happened was Mysterious Girl came out at number one, Insania went in at number three, the same week the album comes out, we're doing a sell-out tour, but something happened on the marketing front and it didn't debut very high. Someone did a shit job on marketing - I don't care to say it! Now they've got to rectify the problem -which they will."
This bit of artist whingeing comes via CMU.
Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.

He's right...it happens a lot with record companies. A lot of companies are really clueless. eastwest got it sooo wrong. With all the media coverage he gets and having top ten singles hits, the album hardly got backing marketing wise. easy money they lost I think. If I was a boss at eastwest I would sack someone for such school boy errors.

It can't be any worse than Jordans upcoming musical shenanigans, surely?
