Let Us Know Your Thoughts! In doing a little research, Craig discovered a troubling trend regarding #1 records on Billboard.  Simply going back as recent as 2010 and comparing different genres represented  year over year to present day, it appears the masses are craving less variety these days.  The stats below are pretty telling.  Year - # of Genres Represented 2010 - 8 2011 - 8 2012 - 8 2013 - 9...

Let Us Know Your Thoughts! So, exactly how long should an album last?  30 minutes?  An hour?  It really depends on the listener & in most cases depends on the artist you're listening to.  It might not seem that important on the surface, but there's a fine line between teasing the listener and lingering for way too long.  And so we discuss...
