The difference between marketing in the 90's and now is there was a business model to follow when promoting artists in the 90's. Record labels all went thru the same marketing plan (radio, commercials, billbords, magazines, music stores and maybe a mall tour) to promote a new album.

Now with social media and everything being digital, labels have to be creative when marketing and promoting an album. Unfortunately, it seems that the executives running most of the record labels are not smart or creative enough to compete in this market and therefore most of their artists are paying the price.

Also, Two Eleven was one of Brandy's best albums. If only Slower and No Such Thing As Too Late (duet w/Bruno Mars) were singles! Ugh!
