Record companies now blame poor sales on too many songs on the albums. Ridiculous, I've always felt short changed if I've bought an album and it's only around thirty-five/forty minutes long. And if the record industry were to try capping how long an album could be then they could well see sales fall further and piracy rise as people conclude that albums aren't value for money any more. I don't have the figures to prove it but I believe that in the UK, when the record companies put limits on CD singles, maximum of twenty minutes music, maximum of four tracks, that led to a drop in singles sales.
