Interesting tidbit from the Unsprung Artists blog: there has been a dramatic increase in the number of new titles released in the last seven years.

The DAWG (Digital Audio Workstation God) has also dramatically driven up the number of choices for consumers to sift through.  Consider the number of new titles released each year between 2000 and 2006 (Source: Billboard: 35,516, 31,374, 33,443, 38,269, 44,476, 60,331, 75,774).  With this much competition, it’s easy to see why artists and labels feel more compelled then ever to focus on promotion instead creation.
