Hit records gift & curse (My prediction)


  Imagine you go to the studio. You get in contact with some of your favorite producers. You finally choose the instrumentals that cater to your liking. You sit down develop the melody for your song. Then you write out the three verses and chorus. Finally you go into the booth to lay it down after a number of takes you finally finish and now the producers sit there edit, mix, and master it. Cd's get pressed up records get sent to radios. Everything turns out fine the record becomes a smash hit. Now there is a demand for your record. You only pressed up 10,000 records and there are millions of people who want not just a digital download but a tangible copy of the records. manufacturers want give you credit for demand so you might not even get paid thus putting you in the hole. So now a major issue arises because you can't fulfill and order. Now you may say we are in the digital age record sales are on the decline nobody buys albums now more. On the contrary, I believe that you will see a rise in albums. You see when you understand human psychology you understand that we as humans love experiences. It was a beautiful experience when I was a teenager walking to the Music Factory on Jamaica avenue and looking through all of the cd's purchasing my favorite artist. Going home reading the book  looking at the pictures reading the credits. That was an experiece that I beleive is lacking right now. I think sooner or later artist will get more creative and understand the importance of creating everlasting experiences for there fans. People believe that we will never see anybody sell as many records as a Nelly but I beg to differ. I truly believe that if the right artist comes along this feeling will render its self.

  So if you have this problem how could you make up for the demand? This is where networking comes in. You wiegh your options. If the records is successful people want to be apart of that. Favor for a favor look at sources you can possibly borrow from. Get affiliated with a larger label or distributor if you have big demand for a product make sure you target appropriate ones. Contact them and request to do business.
