Ok this is just morbid fascination,I am not a Perry fan,although I woudn't say no to Coffee with her.I read that her record label Capitol have had a
serious chat with her regarding sales of her 4th Album,it has only sold 60,000 copies maybe including streaming? Her previous 3 albums sold 500,000.
It just got me thinking what a dog eat dog world the music Biz is now or maybe it always has been? God if The Stranglers sold 60,000 copies of their
next album they would be ecstatic,what a world we live in,record companies are just greedy fuckers.Capt Kudu just off to buy a few thousand copies
of Perry's latest album to help her out,I volunteer to be her Towel Boy (Joking)

It would be really interesting to see the UK and worldwide sales for Stranglers singles and albums. I guess it gets complicated now with streaming and downloading too.

Can't be surprising that the record company are concerned. They've probably got some investment in terms of publicity, recording costs and so on, which will be higher based on the earlier figures.
As unpopular as it might be, I'm never surprised when companies start to get worried when it looks like they won't make as big a profit as they thought. They wouldn't be much of a business if they just shrugged it off.
