Basically RCA wants those artist. I can't think of one hit artist that is on RCA and all the ones that were named have or had hit records. Pretty much the parent company is taking the talent that they were not good enough to find and develop on their own.

Are we really suprised? It's 2011 almost 2012. Labels are going to continue to downsize. The artists still under contract but that's going to be a lot of people out of work though employed directly by the label or indirectly.
