| Viper1 said: Madonna is the last of the superstars now and she's not been doing too hot the past few months it seems. I have little faith in the replication of quality and popularity of any of the above any time soon. Music is easily at an all time low with no hope in sight for a recovery. |
I blame ITunes, and people downloading single songs... Artist have no motivation to put together a complete album. Like the beatle or MJ always did. U2 is one of the few groups right now that still makes complete albums.
I am hoping that MJ's music can revolutionize music once again. If people keep buying his albums (because it is pointless to download his indiviual songs... each album is at least 80% worth downloading... might as well buy the whole thing) maybe artist will relize people still want to buy albums... Just there are not many now worth buying.
