hello guys, I really like these posts!

first of all, let me say.
the magic of google!!! I googled “chart sold albums”
and your blog is what came up.

I am a musician trying to make it happen with my band and I like what i read on your posts so far. But I would say that my band (like all others) will definitely need a record label to step to the next level and even if you work really hard on getting the sound, the image, booking shows, bringing people to the shows and etc, but you need more than just those mentioned above.
(The Record Labels) They know what they’re doing.

Conclusion: the Record Label is just another partner of your business that happens to be “Music” and they take financial risk that you won’t take, and that’s why they deserve a big portion of the money made.

I loved this series! I really enjoyed reading your business analysis of an industry I know very little about and your comparisons to VC backed businesses. Very interesting!
