Music moves to market domination by fewer artists.

Streaming was supposed to be the move to making everything available all the time to everyone.
At least within reasonable limits.
But that hasn't worked out at all it seems.
When Taylor Swift released her last album, sales took up 22% of the entire US market in its first week.
Now the download market is apparently in retreat even before most consumers have really got to grips with it, and I can't figure the economic model for Tidal and the others from the artists' point of view at all.
But now Adele's new album is expected to supersede Taylor Swift's figures.
I have nothing at all against those artists but I do have something against a system which has the effect of reducing the range of product and that certainly seems to be the effect today.
