So R&B/Hip-hop artist Ciara was originally supposed to release her upcoming album sometime this coming October, yet she is planning on pushing up the release date because she thinks she can compete with the girl we all love, Beyonce. Beyonce is set to release her 3rd studio album in September (or so I've heard) and since Ciara thinks she can compete, she wants her CD released on the same day. By doing this, she is creating the girl version of the 50 Cent v. Kanye West competition that happened a few months back. Hmmm...in this case, I think Ciara is the 50 cent and Beyonce's record sales are gonna prevail, just like Kanye's did.
Why try and compete anyways?! Everyone knows CD sales just keep going down. Seriously, just up to a few years ago first week CD sales in the millions was so easy, and now for Lil Wayne's Carter III album to be the first since 50 Cent's 2005 release to have 1.5 million sales in the first week pretty depressing. The music industry is changing everyday and to see such a fast plumet in record sales is sad to see. Why would any artist want to hinder their record sales by competing against another big artist? I'm sure it's all a publicity stunt, to try and hype up their albums...but it was kind of a failure for 50 Cent, and it's sad to say but I think it's gonna have the same backlash for Ciara.
I don't think Ciara should change the release date of her album to match Beyonce's...but that's just my opinion. :)
