Is the music industry really struggling, or just alot of bad music????


1 million plus 2 weeks ago, followed by 721,000 copies last week??? Those are the numbers for Lil' Wayne's first week sales and Coldplay's first week sales. This marks only the second time the chart has seen back-to-back debuts of more than 700,000 since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. Eminem and Britney Spears did it the first time with Britney Spears' "Oops! I Did It Again" which sold 1,319,000 copies, and Eminems' "The Marshall Mathers LP" which sold 1,760,000. I truly believe if the record labels, not the artist, take the time to put out good music, then we will see better numbers than we have come accustomed to now. Remember, the record labels call the final shots....so about 80% of the time it's the label, not the artist.....and with promotion for albums like it is now, these labels need to look at what they are doing wrong before it's too late....oh my bad, it's past that point!!!!
