Also, all my musical tastes are obscure- I'm still buying CD's, so this looks good to me. I predict (if it hasn't already happened) that everything is flattening from that perspective- long tail may be 50% now but could be 80% later on. As big media loses penetration and mind share, how big can a Britney get these days? Small is the new big.
