AnPeter90 Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Back in the 1960s it was pretty common for artists to release an album every few months. By the 80s once a year seemed pretty typical. Move to the 90s and every two years seemed more typical, but nowadays it's typically a 3-4 year wait. Why don't most release them as frequently now as they used to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Record companies have found it most profitable to engage their artists on an album/tour cycle of about 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 to be fair a lot of popular 60s music was covers (elvis, soul singers etc) and any original music was 80% drug addled nonsense coocoocachoo. easy to pop out multiple albums a year if you're not writing it, or if what you are writing is pure gibberish.
