Selling eight million copies of your first album will mess you up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Selling another 10 million albums is not a priority. Putting out something you're proud of is.
I actually don't think that I'm gonna sell a lot of records.
The fact I even get an opportunity to make one album is crazy. But if all goes to plan, I'll get to make five albums. That'd be nice.
If I cut an album now and sell it for ten bucks, I can put seven dollars and fifty cents in my pocket.
I hate the whole 'record your album, do your promo campaign, have a year off to write another album' pattern. As an artist, you should keep creating as much as you possibly can.
Obviously, with your first album, you want to make sure you are really happy with it.
There are so many things to think about when you make an album. Like, who am I trying to impress? Am I going to get respect, critical acclaim? Or am I going to sell lots of records?
I genuinely don't know how many albums I'm going to sell when the new album comes out, because I honestly don't know how many fans I've actually got at the moment.
Selling millions of albums is a sign you've infiltrated the culture.
I don't do something because I think it will sell 30 million albums. I couldn't care less. If it sells one, it sells one.
