The Flood of Greatest Hits Collections
(Filed under: Industry)Interesting story on the greatest hits collections that seem to flood the market, even if an artist has few hits, few years in the business, or few albums. Hilary Duff released has released two albums, the first in 2003, has no hits, and now has her own best of.
Mainly greatest hits collections are a chance for record companies to make more money. Often it's about putting the best songs on one CD, even if they're not all hits. It makes it more likely the casual shopper will pick up a disc, and more likely crowded store shelves will have room for one CD, as opposed to two or three CDs from a single artist.

I've managed to save up roughly $48123 in my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?
