Ok I know everything in the whole world is about promotion. My point is tho, promotion should never be something that the artist or the producer needs to worry about.
Its my main reason why nowadays the music in the charts is unlistenable.
in the 80's they had seperation of concerns. An A&R man's job was to go and find talent. Then they had marketers who promoted it.
Now the ONLY difference between anyone is who knows how promote their music and who doesn't.
Thats what people need to know about top sellers, they are not there because they are talented. They are there because they are the exactly the wrong kind of person to be making music.
I.e they can sit for 6-8 hours a day + and send endless demos to A&R people (thousands) and shove their beats in everyones face.
Musical people would never be able to do that robotic kind of bullshit, the whole point of being talented is that you are single minded... IE you spend all your time doing music and 0 time on stuff normal people would do.
Its like an athelete, you don't expect a runner to spend 90% of his time handing out leaflets to people so they will come and watch him run.
So anyway, thats the most important secret I can share with noobie producers. The reason people are talking about x so and so producer and not you, is because they have seen him in their inbox 3000 times.
