Yes, that's not a problem.
It's a real and tangible difference in the industry over time. Shania Twain sold 10 million copies of three albums in a row. The last person to do that, over the last I don't know how many years, is Adele. One person in the whole industry reached that mark.
Yes, there are artists doing very well, but the bottom is doing very poorly. Whether that's a songwriter or an artist, they are not able to get into the industry as easily as they could and those rising up is just a small portion of the number of artists that are out there.
