Yep. The music business used to be about selling art and albums, now it is about selling singles.
I can't fully blame them. The consumer has spoken and most of them just want to buy individual songs and not entire albums, but what it does is kill the art form. These days artists are more interested in making the hit single that they can sell a million of, sell as a ringtone and create a catchy video for instead of writing a quality album that can be taking as a full work of art.
It is all kind of sad to me.
