Well I'...I thought someone would ask me that !<br /><br />Well I'm not going to say here right now, but check back on the blog from the 1st December when the Breaking More Waves Ones to Watch list will be published.<br /><br />I suspect that the artists that are # 1, 2 and 4 on our list of 10 have a good chance of being in the top 5 (could be very wrong though). <br /><br />I would expect to see Jessie J in the Sound of 2011 list as well, and although she was recently featured on the blog we won't be putting her in our own list.Breaking More Waves Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678542701655601547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010923635709588318.post-59950511365850514892010-11-22T15:20:21.976+00:002010-11-22T15:20:21.976+00:00Interesting article and comments.

I mean, there are some albums I simply don't want in digital format and prefer a cd copy of, but I couldn't conceive paying so little an amount for a physical copy vs. a single track digital download.<br /><br />Personally I feel digital download albums are far too high priced for what is received and I'm quite familiar with itunes/amazon. I've simply done the band/label a service by not dodging past their hard work and scouring for free files. Still, why charge me the same cost of a physical copy for doing so? Convenience fees? If you're going to do that, be certain to dispatch me something physical instead of just a digital booklet which I don't even like or tend to look at.<br /><br />A few pounds (I still think £1 even in digital format is too low, honestly) perhaps for a digital album. More 2 for £10 albums (new releases) through HMV instead of just select older titles, I can live with that. No need to be absurd about it.lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010923635709588318.post-19651251013270544822010-11-05T14:58:02.385+00:002010-11-05T14:58:02.385+00:00(Apologies for lengthy, boring, analytical comment...(Apologies for lengthy, boring, analytical comment, you really got me thinking)<br /><br />It probably goes without saying that it's unthinkable to be able to reduce the costs of production, distribution and advertising to the point where a physical album could cost £1, so I'm going to assume that this is an idea only applicable for digital music.<br /><br />In which case - if artists are releasing albums for £1 digitally then those with already large followings will be able to make enormous amounts of money by funding themselves and releasing their own albums through their own web-site, removing the need for record labels. In this scenario, the need for record labels would be reduced to a physical release, which may become outdated by the £1 download. It would be hard to envisage the music industry supporting such a large number of record labels as we have today in this situation. Instead, singles labels like Moshi Moshi, Neon Gold, Young & Lost etc etc would probably benefit from a need of "filtering" through a sludge of poorly produced music. <br /><br />It's foreseeable then to envisage a future where new bands are discovered by media and singles labels, build up a following through them, and then have their first album funded by a record label, before being able to go it alone and record and release cheap digital albums themselves.<br /><br />The big problem with this model is - where are the record companies going to get their cash from if nobody is buying physical releases? This removes the middle step of the model and may well prevent new artists from reaching as wide an audience as they've been able to in the past.<br /><br />The reality probably is that there's no one, all-encompassing solution for the music industry, and a combination of progressive steps such as this may just combine the prevent its financial collapse.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243420208219812840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010923635709588318.post-3480497797576405982010-11-04T07:30:12.758+00:002010-11-04T07:30:12.758+00:00Didn't Fanfarlo try this on the download for t...Didn't Fanfarlo try this on the download for their album ? I don't know how many copies they sold through doing it though but there doesn't seem to have been a rush to follow them.<br /><br />I could envisage download albums being reduced in price but not cd's thus killing of the cd for good.Skrystnoreply@blogger.com
