yea its strange either way, but me first idea would be that by leaving out the great promo opportunities they keep their "underground" image alive?! ...
not likely , just a thought .....

Not long ago HP told in an interview that it makes the guys angry if they fail to reach the top10. Further Scooter can produce each style they want and they can make almost no promo, but the name Scooter will always stand for commercial "Kirmestechno" in the eyes of the haters.
So creating some kind of "underground image" doesn't make any sense for a band like Scooter that was commercially successful trhoughout 16 years. And they wouldn't try to make concept albums within new and "trendy" styles like electro house and dubstep if they gave up the mainstream.

It's more likely that the international success of JAOTW, the #2 for UTROTT and the T10 for Ti Sento made them and/or their management think: "Ha, Scooter is such a big brand these days, so many people are interested in it that we don't need to make big promo. People will look for new Scooter stuff in the internet on their own, so let's try to release as many singles as possible without a big promo- and release plans. So we'll have several tracks in the Single-Top100 and long-lasting album success just like David Guetta and less costs for promotion. Minimum effort --> macimum success."
But it seems that this idea has been leading the band in the wrong turn - and now there is no more budget for them to come back with their old PR policy.

Mr Hyper: exactly my thoughts. But sad to think so....

Like in any other financial company, if you somehow got your hands on a big budget-you should spend it anyway- even on stuff you don't need, because if you show you can handle with less budget-next year your budget will be cut, and then when you really need it-you don't have the big bucks to spend anymore-seems Scooter made a bad move showing Kontor they can handle with less budget for promo and now they suffer from the results.

Well, on Monday they will know the chart entry position of It's a Biz and know how well the current promo works

Facebook, Twitter and other social networks provides free promo. Downside is it requires the followers (fans) to spread the news they post to get it out to as many people as possible.

Is it already known what the midweek position is? It's a Biz is the best of the worst singles so I think a hope for top 10 is considerable.

It depends if IAB have already got enough promo and sales for a top 10 enter...

And it doesn't help that they haven't used every promo opportunity, like advertising it on the tour concerts and such.

I think it will rock BOTTOM
70 - 100 MAYBE

I wonder why they don't promote a good new single in a big TV Show?

For example the single "T?" was promoted in the TV show were Scooter performed on a wedding! This was awesome. Not a big crowd but many TV viewers because of this curiosity Scooter played T? + medley there.

Result: #5 highest position in charts for T?



I think Scooter don't use their potential. Or maybe they get no chance to be in a TV show

"It's A Biz" hasn't been added to the VIVA-playlist yet. I wonder if VIVA doesn't show Scooter videos anymore or if Scooter think they don't need VIVA anymore (which would be a bad way to think because the acts that are successful these days - e. g. Unheilig, Katy Perry, Sean Paul, Pitbull, Culcha Candela - still have their videos running on VIVA).
And other house/dance artists like Mike Candys, Swedish House Mafia, Cascada and Groove Coverage are still supported by VIVA (and as fas as I know most of them have Kontor as their label). So why not Scooter?

I know iTunes isn't the best indicator but...

Dance charts:

It's A Biz (The Big Mash Up Tour 2012 Edit) - 119
It's A Biz (Album Version) - 59

I find it very interesting that the album version is doing better than the single and has managed to do so well for so long. If Scooter wanted this single to be a success, perhaps they should have slightly reworked the album version, put in a club/extended mix, and a fresh B-side (which hasn't been done in a while.)

It's A Biz (Single version) is now #31 on FINNISH DANCE CHART! I think it's great succees for Scooter here. Last time Scooter was on charts here when "J'adore Hardcore" came out.

Nice, but Let me disagree with you, Scooter used to enter the tops of the charts so this one is not so successful. Anyway At least they managed to do a good entry at 31th.
