Finally got to skim yesterday's thread and wanted to make the comment. As I remember someone in Atop who knows a lot about the music business once said that it takes about 1 million dollars to get a number one hit for somebody who already wasn't producing number one hits. And also that the money ultimately comes out of the artist's share of the profits. So you don't want to spend more money on promotion than what this song and/or album are going to make. So it's a very big gamble spending the money to promote the hell out of a song not knowing how much it will sell. And I would bet that Adam has some say so in how much of a gamble to take, after all it's his money they are gambling with. I suspect the biggest disagreements may be over which song to gamble on and promote.
I'd love for somebody here who really knows the music business to give us their thoughts on this.

I think Q3 has mentioned this on a couple of occasions. Also, I have a son the same age as Adam in the music biz, jndie/small label, not mainstream. The band has put out 6 albums and has toured original music for 13 years. They have typically been involved in the decisions about type and cost of promo. And, yes, promo costs are paid back to the label from the band's financial share. peace&love

Just wondering about a few things.. I wonder why SS is playing at such a small venue.. 500 capacity. Was it by invite only? Also wondering why Adam, generally, doesn't seem to get a lot of well-known singers and celebs attending his shows, while others, like SS, do. Well, Sam is totally A-list.His show is the "cool" place to be. Adam has never been at that level.
