Hi Chris, congratulations on your book release! I have sure loved following along with the findings you've shared here on Substack.
Question for you: Are you planning an audiobook version at any point? I know those are time consuming and not always possible, but I'm visually impaired and wouldn't be able to enjoy a print copy. I would most definitely purchase it on audio though. Again was just curious, if not no worries. I still might buy a copy to gift to someone else and support your work!
I am looking forward to reading the whole books, these excerpts have been great.
I found the Soundscan passge on RS fascinating. Not sure if you have addressed this before, but is there any evidence that the shorter chart times (9 weeks vs 1-3 weeks) drove the more speculative approach to signing new artists that seemed to define the industry in 90s?
I ordered my copy! I've been looking forward to this and can't wait to dig in. I'm a music teacher, so this will be a fascinating read from that perspective! Congrats!
Of course, congratulations, Chris! I know I appreciate this post revealing the book's genesis...I think we all do! That Rolling Stone piece is astounding! That alone will give the book a huge boost right out the blocks! Picking out those several highlights and digging deep as they did will give readers of different stripes reasons to pick up the book! Onward and upward, I say! See you at the bookstalls!📚
Really looking forward to reading your book and appreciate the time and energy you had to put in to the finished product! Best of luck!
Congratulations! I enjoyed reading the excerpt from Ted Gioia today. Definitely a book I'll read.
Thank you!
