When bands relied on album sales the quality of LP's are etched in history. According to wiki Eminem and Adele are the only two artists to have the most sales in a calendar year.
During my rock and roll period it didn't take much radio play for me to be hooked, want to buy an LP/cassette/CD. The creativity started nosediving in the 90's. LL Cool J rap morphed into four letter worded crap. An album would have a hit or two instead of five.
I have to warm up to a track these days and let it grown on me. Frozen with 2.8 million in sales? Nah. Ed Sheeran with 600K, I'm interested.
In the instant age where attention spans are measured in seconds how will the RIAA and motion picture industries cope with a dearth of new themes, ideas, genres of music and marketing concepts who will succeed in a world where everyone wants to be heard, but few are paying attention|
