Year End Record Releases

The year is coming to an end. This means shoppers are hitting the stores. Because of all of the holdiday shopping, record companies choose to put out big name artists during this time. The major releases last week were from Gwen Stefani, U2, and Eminem. With all of these big name artists releasing records, consumers may have to choose one record over the other. This causes a lot of rivalry. The pop trio Destiny's Child chose to release their album early so there was less competition with other artists. According to a record executive, "The retaliers were hoping we'd stagger the releases more."
