Lil Wayne's C3 basically did all 3 to PERFECTION.
Going plat right now off being "good" ?, good luck. Most 90's classics would barely go gold in this market. Goal went from making "good music" to "appeal to as many people as possible" in around '97.

The internet simply ruined album sales...it's as simple as that.
negative.
Labels being dumb and not embracing the internet ruined album sales. Not to mention poor quality albums *cough Jadakiss*

take lil waynes carter 3 for example,when that one guy put it on datpiff it was downloaded more than 2million times! imagine if the internet wasnt around,he would have went about 5times platinum.
come on now,if someone has the option to pay for an album or to download it for free what do you think they are goint to do?
INTERNET FD UP MUSIC SALES(and sucky music nowadays is a reason too)
Easier? All the outlets you speak of means it's harder to go platinum. For decades, the only way you could hear an album was to buy it.That's it. You would NOT hear it otherwise. Now, you have to market yourself like crazy to even get people interested. The internet killed album sales. Thefilm industry lucked out in that people like the escapism they get from going to a theater, but the record industry is dead.Originally Posted by eye see soles
It should be easier given all of the media outlets and promotional vehicles.
Most of it's poor management/marketing.
Doesn't that go hand in hand...Originally Posted by M16
