Rise of the Indies
The industry today is in obvious chaos. Artists are not happy with labels. Labels are happy with listeners. Listeners are not happy with labels.
Labels need to come up with a better marketing plan and fast. I must say, they dug their own grave. Never developing artists and putting out crap artists that sounded like another labels main money maker.
I think you will see indie artists get more and more popular and then picked up by labels. Pretty much in the way Linkin Park did.
