New normal. You better off building regional buzz and booking mid-size venues and moving units at the show or on Bandcamp.

The world of streams and disposable music, the world we are living in right now. Times changed.In what world is this normal?
She could have sold these out the back of her trunk
Record labels are an old model. A&Rs ain't comin' back. That album probably a weed plate.
Bia had a better chance touring the new album first, then selling it on the road but that would mean restructuring her deal to favorable terms...
TheColi.com know Epic Records not doing that. She worth more in debt.
It was a matter of time until the 1996 Telecommunications Act and file sharing really caught up to artist sales.
Record labels pockets too deep and probably already quietly shifted their business model away from artist revenue to something more lucrative 'cause they still signing artists.

If labels writin' off the losses from artists underperforming against their gains from a diversified portfolio from old money capital and a few hot artists on their roster, I could see that being the strategy. Labels probably gotta drop weed plates to reduce their tax burden. Ingenious if you think about it.

A lot of these artists they sign are literally write offs
NTM most of them these days have to do their own legwork in almost every aspect from development to rollouts and such. No more 400k plus advances because unless it's a big project there's no need to invest that much. Gonna be very interesting to see the fall out of this era

What's that have to do with an artist who has never sold records...not selling records. Her only successful tracks have features. She doesn't have a fanbase.
