I hear you C-H--remember though this agreement is only for the major labels--newer artists usually haven't gotten there yet. That George Ezra case is a puzzlement--I dunno. As far as smaller retailers: a smash hit comes out on Friday, the smaller ones run out on Saturday and can't get re-stocked 'til Monday at the earliest. Result: lost sales on a hottie which small fry use to bring traffic into the stores and the profit on which subsidizes the slower-moving merch in the bins. Target Stores et al. were quick to realize this and signed on early--they never have to run out with re-supplys 24/7/365.
