SINGING A DIFFERENT ITUNES

is the record industry reassessing its relationship with iTunes regarding pre-album-release sale of singles? Amid widespread fears that sales of individual tracks are cannibalizing album sales, at least two labels are taking action. Def Jam/IDJ will not make the current Ne-Yo smash, “So Sick,” available on iTunes until after the album is released on Feb. 28. For example industry observers are wondering how much bigger the first week on Jive/ZLG artist Chris Brown’s debut album might have been without the enormous amount of downloads sold on the radio smash, “Run It.”

These folks are morons. If I only like one song now, then I can wait to just buy the one song I want, no matter how long it takes them to release a single. Fuck the record industry.

Exactly. I said long ago that my days of buying a crappy album for one or two good songs is over.

i'm the same way, though i much prefer finding a new album that i like all the way through, just cuz i really like listening to full albums rather than singles (unless i'm listening to a comp or my mp3 shuffle play, of course). i dig iTunes cuz i can sit and do the listening booth thing and check out tracks from any album and see if it's my thing or not...i've been discovering some good new stuff (new to me, anyway) via iTunes lately. smile
