ABA Forum: DIY Music in a Myspace World - How Do Labels and Artists Measure Success in Today’s Music Business? In this clip from the 2007 American Bar Association Forum on the Entertainment and Sports Industries, the panelists discuss whether per-unit album sales are a good measure of success in today’s music industry, and whether the answer is the same for master owners and artists. They also discuss whether the other revenue streams – songwriting, touring, downloads, ringtones, etc. – are more or less relevant than album sales as a metric of success. They also address the issue of music fans, and whether albums sales really reflect the full range of an artists’ popularity in the marketplace.
