youre bullshit

Shipping an album to a retailer is a mutual agreement.

the retailer has to want the product.

you try creating a cd or any project and seeing if its that easy to get it in a store. lol

Think if you own a store, would you order something to stock that you don't believe will move off the shelf?
everything is pretty much a gamble in the corporate world.
