These artists, while might not capturing the glory of their debut and selling less with each album, are still performing for a living and often are leading great lives and American Dreams. Not always but often. However, I completely agree with the point this guy is making and I've said the same things again and again. ALBUM SALES REALLY DON'T MEAN SH**!! Usually, it is about publicity and promotion: TV, radio, magazines etc. There are some amazing talents out there that won't even get a record deal and it makes me sick. the labels have the money and the power to make what THEY think is good a hit act; hence, all the GARBAGE that we view and listen to constantly.
