"The Adeles, Swifts and Beibers are the 1% of the 1% that can still move albums like that. Thanks to endless millions the labels spend in promotion. For the other billion bands and artists.. not so much."


.....so where do the endless millions come from?

Alan, I'm really not sure. I had always read (back in the days) that the Michael Jackson's and Springsteen's album sales made up for the labels other 90% failures. We 'are' talking about Sony, Universal, Warner Bros. and EMI.. huge multi-national corporations.
