I'd link the article, but anyone with a brain and an interest in the industry should already be receiving the newsletter. Bob Lefsetz had a great take on this.

It's gotten to the point where a label contract a band, produces an album, sends one single to radio and if it hits they continue the relationship whereas if it misses the band is dropped. This could be good news for new acts as much as it is for established acts. Record labels won't be able to cash in on their own greed so much anymore. They'll actually have to put effort into making a profit. I don't know if I'm making any sense. I can sort of visualize my point, but all the alcohol makes it difficult to delineate. Maybe I should try again in the morning. If I can remeber what I was doing. Maybe this means the labels will focus more on building up talent.

They spend little to promote them because they are already established with die hard fans and sell well with little radio push and magazine juice. Without cash cows like NIN, what will they do for money? Acts like NIN are the bread and butter of record labels.
