Is Trey Songz Missing Something?

February 20th, 2008

 

Trey Songz…

Trey Songz should have blown up by now. I mean, the man is a highly sought after collaborator and his own music is well-received. Plus, according to statistics, girls buy more albums, and the ladies love Trey. BET.com recently caught up with the Virginian to hear his side of the story.

“I mean I feel like a translation of image appeal, music and everything into sales right now is at an all-time low,” Trey told BET.com. “You can love an artist to death, but it’s just in a consumer’s mind right now that they don’t have to go buy music. They gotta really love you.” [Read Full Article Here]

So, why isn’t he selling? You tell us. Sound off!

I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT BOTH OF MY BOO RECORDS WERE ON FIRE ESPECIALLY THIS LAST ONE,MAYBE ITS HIS LABEL,HE’S A SOLO ARTIST AND HE NEED HELP.IF I WERE HIM I WOULD TRY TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS,IT CAN’T BE JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE BOOTLEGGING MUSIC

To be honest, I like Trey he is really talented. I saw him singing on 106&park. The boy is good. I Didn’t realize he was so good untill he droped his seconed single off of his album. I am actually going to go get his CD now.

I think the main reason trey isn’t selling records is due to lack of marketing. Trey does have a fan base but there are still a lot of people that don’t know who he is. There needs to be more marketing, tours, and endorsements so that he is more visible. It is also a very tough market. Now days people have to really love you to by a cd. Why buy a cd for someone you just like when you can download it or get the bootleg? It’s sad but it’s true. I bought his cd but I love his music and I probably will buy anything he makes. Basically, be more visible.

I luv you Trey!!! You got dem haters on you thats whyyou aint sellin… I bought Trey Day and I LOVE IT!!!! Your hella fine and Talented!!!

I think alot of people have a point his label is not marketing/promoting him enough. He has’nt went world wide because he has’nt been on other shows or talk shows besides Bet. The reason why other r&b guys are blowin up like Chris Brown,Mario,Neyo etc is because they dance. That is not trey’s thing and thats good he can sing he reminds me of a young R.kelly and he is so good looking i say he keep doin he’s thing he will come up he deserves it.

I feel trey Is a very talented singer. I’ve been following trey for a while, from mixtapes to his albums. Alot of yall messages where correct if you dnt have the right promotion your ablums are going to bomb, but i respect trey as an artist he good at what he does and having a girl on his arm isnt the reason y he’s not sellin look at j holiday i dnt think his album did any better. nd he’s a good singer as well i bought both if there albums the day they came, but when you have haters on your team what can u expect then 30 ppl buyin your album. i love trey to death and i will see you the 2nd at nokia theater.

I like trey Songz, But he a womenaizer… He need to stop trying to be a lady’s man, And take a more unversial approach to his music.

Guys wont buy his music. Because guess what, His music is only for the “ladies” right? LOL… Which is the same reason why folks hate on him.

Yea trey, Everybody know you got “game”. You dont have to shove in your fans face LOL.. Just sing, and do you. Stop tryin so hard.



Tiffany Said on

I like Trey Songz music, however I feel like his image is what’s holding him back. He needs to revamp his look. His corn rows are really tired. He needs to try a clean cut, grow some facial hair, maybe a goldtee, & focus more on a grown man look. His music is mature but it’s not matching his physical appearance.



Nikki Said on

I love Trey Songz to death, I own his cd’s. I think though the reason he’s not selling alot of cd’s is because alot of his songs aren’t being herd by the people for example radio. Yeah the radio stations play a couple of his songs but thats not enough. I believe if he had more songs herd by people he would definitly sell out. Him having a girlfriend really isnt the issue, those girls are just jealous they cant have him. Don’t hate lol



Nessa Said on

I am a fan of Trey Songz i think he is blessed with a great voice but it is sad that he is underrated, he also needs better marketing/promoting maybe he needs to switch label and find one who will do it better



Ricky Said on

I think the reason his is not selling records is because he has not had a hit single to make him popular.



jasmine Said on

i agree 100% with ebony. he isn’t being promoted the right way. he’s just as good as chris brown, ne-yo, or any other r&&b artist for that manner. he just need more promotion. his record label is doing him FILTHY, real talk. his songs are EXCELLENT, but people are failing to realize that because they barely hear about him. && when they do, it’s negative (the ice incident && him getting arrested).



john Said on

I think trey songz is a talented singer, but his songs aren’t the best.



tony Said on

he is good singer, but he is not great, we the buyers get fooled some times but not all the time. At this time he will not be able to slide through the cracks.



lisa Said on

Trey presents hisself as a jerk.Every interview I’ve heard he comes off with a big head. He need to know how to be appreciative.Not like fans owe him something!
