Quote by Gerry Beckley

I know acts and I'm not going to name names but these people sold ten million copies the first time and the second album sells three million and it's considered a failure and they're dropped and that's really a shame.

Summary

This quote highlights the unfortunate reality that in the music industry, success is often measured primarily by sales numbers. It points out the discrepancy between an act that achieves massive commercial success with their debut album, only to face the pressure of replicating that level of success with subsequent releases. Even if an album sells three million copies, which by most standards is a significant achievement, it can still be viewed as a failure within the industry's narrow perspective. This quote serves as a lament for talented artists who face harsh judgments and the potential consequences of being dropped by their record labels due to declining sales.
