SYW debuted at #3 and IYD debuted at #6, meaning they are still relevant, but they haven't put out enough new material to get new fans. They had TONS of fans after The Dance, but waited SIX YEARS to put out a new album. Therefore all the new fans they may have gained from The Dance probably lost interest by 2003. Stevie waited 7 years for TISL and 10 years for IYD. So all the people who buy their music are people who were fans of it 7-10 years ago. Low sales may affect their ability to get future recording contracts, but in this day and age, record labels are becoming obsolete. Stevie could finance her own damn record next time and release it online and reap way more benefits than she has with WB. WB has still done pretty much NOTHING to promote her new album, so I say, who needs them? FM and SN should give WB the boot and self release their own ****.
