U2, The Killers, Metallica's Label Kills The Single
. The label admits it "lost money" on singles released in 2010. It will now only create physical singles when, according according to a Mercury spokeswoman, "it is guaranteed to make a profit. With physical formats now accounting for just over one percent of the overall singles market we are being more cautious." Revenues for individual releases recently have been dropping quickly. Digital revenues are up in the U.S.: from $20m in 2003 to $4.2billion in 2009. But overall, U.S. music sales remain pretty much flat. more on this story Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Metallica CDs |
