[kj] 72..............................

[FLIGHT BRINGER]

They may not be concerned musically wise, but they must be concerned 
commercially wise.
   If the album sales as much as the single did, then will they make any 
more if no one buys them?
If it took less than 20 000 sales to get to the #1, then to get to #75 must 
have needed sales of a few hundred. It wont be financially  viable to make 
any more records, the outlay will be higher than the receipts.
   Do some people think that it may have been wrong to put the new album on 
file sharing sites?
