Michael Jackson Can't Help Sony Music Any More
Peter Kafka, On Friday October 29, 2010, 9:37 am EDT
Michael Jackson was such a huge star that he was able to stop the music industry’s perpetual slide: In the aftermath of his death last year, sales perked up at Sony’s music arm, which puts out the singer’s catalog.
But there’s no star big enough to permanently stop gravity. Now that Jackson sales have come back to earth, Sony reports that last quarter’s sales dropped another 10.8 percent, or a mere 6 percent if you strip out the effect of currency fluctuations. Operating income dropped 6.1 percent.
Reminder: Digital music sales, which were eventually supposed to overtake physical sales and push revenue back up once again, aren’t doing the trick. In the US, sales via Apple’s iTunes and other outlets are either flat, or shrinking, depending on the sales data you’re looking at. (Which should either make the labels either less likely, or more likely, to get deals done with the likes of Spotify. Take your pick!)
Meanwhile. Did you buy, or hear of, any of the following? Sony says they were best-sellers, at least comparatively: YUI’s HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN, Miliyah Kato’s HEAVEN, Kana Nishino’s to LOVE, Yannick Noah’s Frontières, Santana’s Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics Of All Time and Kenny Chesney’s Hemingway’s Whiskey.

Oh, poor Sony.... :roll:
They kicked off their biggest stars and put on the "one-hit-singers", so now they got what they deserved! :x

As MJ said:
"I've generated several billion dollars for Sony... Several billion. [...] I just did good business, you know."
