Bayside singer has a crack at the music industry
"It’s so hard to believe that a record that sells 1.2 million or 700k or 400k or even 80k can be looked at as a flop. I know that they mean it’s sad to see compared to past sales, but still. My band is not nearly as successful as anyone on that list, and I’ve always tried to stay real grounded and pure about whatever success we have had. And maybe that’s why I can’t imagine someone being disappointed in selling anywhere from 80k-1 million records. A band OR a label. And maybe that’s because I still remember when we were struggling to sell 5k or even 1k. Shit, even 1."
