Give The People What They Want: ↑Nashville’s Changing Music Business
The popularization of single-serving download sales has corrected a cognitive dissonance that seemed especially glaring in a city that has never been known to leave money on the table. For several years music fans who wanted to give a record label their money to buy an artist’s music weren’t allowed to do so—unless, of course, that artist managed to secure a CD release for a full album and the fan had the faith to shell out as much as $20 a pop. For that to happen, a single had to reach at least the 20s on the Billboard chart—a standard that more or less remains intact today. If not, an album might be left to molder in a vault (or, more recently, on a hard drive) until perhaps someday an exhaustive Bear Family excavation produces an eight-disc box set that German listeners will no doubt enjoy.
