Discussion 4 for PCP Online

1. "I feel like a lot of people are saying that the industry is
moving to just being singles driven, and that's kind of a cop
out to me. So it's like, basically that means that we sign a
bunch of disposal artists, you know, as long as we get one hit
that's good? That's B.S.,” - Ne-Yo

2. "If you used to have a big single, you would sell a million albums,
and if you sell a million albums and you're a band, you can probably
not have to work for a couple years. We don't have that luxury.” Gabe Saporta from Cobra Starships

"I feel like it falls on the shoulders of not only the record
label, but the artists themselves. I feel like the thing that
makes you go out and get a person's whole album is you
liking that artist, you connecting with that artist.” - Ne-Yo
