In other words an album with more than a few singles. I'm here for the business not to play favorites. My taste is always separate when evaluating the business and forming a strategy.

Read my post again so you can see where that dissappearing 20% went.

Well, I'm still not sure how you decide that there less albums with a bunch of hit singles than there were, let's say, two years ago. How would you know that? I mean ... is there any data on this? I'm not aware of any.

When the whole download debate began, people first claimed it was great for sales.

Then, when sales dropped 5 percent, they blamed it on the recession.

Now that sales are down 20 percent, most are willing to admit that downloading has at least something to do with it.

If sales drop by 30 or, even, 40 percent -- probably a record low in the history of the industry --- I'd say your "There's a shortage of albums with a bunch hit singles" argument is probably wrong.

Tell you what. If that happens (and I'm willing to bet it will), I'll post another thread and call you on it ... LOL
