Subject: How to sell artists & records/CDs
While I was in New Zealand for a month, I couldn’t help but realized one thing.
Since Norah Jones won Grammy Awards, I guess many people on the list are
now familiar with her name and music. Her debut album „Come Away With Me“
was released at the end of February last year. As far as I know, copies of
her CD were conspicuously displayed at the front of all the major CD shops
in Osaka. They even had and still have her posters in their shops. I
assume the situations are just the same in the United States, Canada, U.K.,
other European countries, Australia, etc. Can anybody confirm this? At
the bottom of the eBay site, the cover of her CD often appears.Just about the time of its release, the first track from the album was used
for the theme song of a trendy TV drama in Japan. Only six months after
her debut, one of the two biggest Japanese promoters brought her to Japan
in September.During my stay in New Zealand, I was surprised to see her CDs and posters
treated exactly in the same way there as in Japan. I strongly felt
something big maneuvering her into fame and success. No doubt selling
Norah Jones was a world-wide strategy! And the whole package worked!Kazi
