| You’d do it, too, if you were a record
label: save your best releases for the end of the year, I mean. Landing
a spot on some critic’s top-ten list in December translates directly
into record sales, and received wisdom has it that these lists are
heavy with records that came out later in the year. This is a snake
eating its own tail, of course, since if the releases that get held
back for November release dates are the best ones, then they’ll
show up on the year’s-end list, which the labels will conclude
had more to do with when they were released than with their inherent
quality, leading them to hold back the following year’s best
releases until November. It makes you dizzy if you think about it
too much. |
