The irony of the referenced story is that these huge over-sized conglomerations can’t survive on single music sales. Maybe they have figured out consumers are not about to pay 19.99 for a cd for one good song when they can pay .79 for a single. There is not the cult following of groups and artist like before. Sure there are a lot of popular groups but there is 5 times as many one hit wonders. [ZDNet]
