[QUOTE="Famous when dead, post: 1987338357, member: 6607"] I believe we found SER to be using some 'industry only' music chart portal a while back and the figures for the US market have always been notoriously difficult to view accurately - so I'd be inclined to let him off on this occasion :) That said, the quoting of something from 2016 to bolster a 'diversity' argument in 2020 - having been with BMG for 3 years after said quote is just plain daft. The terms of the contract were never clear and the assertions re: 2 record deals etc were never substantiated. That said, he's had a reasonable run with them and certainly released more product with them than most anticipated. Personally, I think this is a 'usual' exit strategy - where blaming BMG is required. The fact that he's released 2 products via 2 other companies in the last couple of months and how that might sit with BMG doesn't appear to get any consideration. Regards, FWD. [/QUOTE]
