Listen, I love that boy to death and I wanna see him plastered everywhere with everyone appreciating him the way he deserves. However, what has he done so far? Be realistic - one collab with a DJ that as an artist doesn’t rely on getting #1 on the charts but focuses on gigging around the world, with a song that was in no way promoted by him or his team. What would the publication’s angle be here - hoping the tumblr crowd would buy the print edition? How would that negotiation go between his publicist and the publication - I mean, who would his publicist even be in this case, considering they can’t even write a simple press release? I can give him credit because I’ve been his fan and followed him for so long that I know what he’s capable of. Why’d you think anyone else would, especially someone who is in the business of selling their magazine to the public when there is no sign of him having an actual plan of building a career - and I don’t mean doing stuff here and there, but actually being on a path that leads to a healthy, successful career that would put him on the radar of the global audience and therefore featured in major publications.

This is the music industry, it’s how everything works, and even though we love them and think the boys are the world, the reality is that that’s not true. They are really powerful, yeah, and I still believe they are going to change a little bit some perceptions and shenigans, but this is and OLD, POWERFUL industry, and 4 guys in their 20′s aren’t going to change that.
