Freakin Miranda gets a 5th single every single time- yet Carrie outsells her 2-1. So no, you cannot justify or defend this decision as a business decision because Carrie's album sales slowed down. Miranda's slowed down to a crawl months ago- and Carrie outsells her in every aspect, downloads, albums, etc- yet Carrie gets cut off for both PO and BA, while Miranda gets 5 singles every time. Not right- especially since she has the Keith duet too. There is something very wrong with Sony Nashville right now- ever since Joe left- and Overton took over. It is not right how Carrie is screwed every time. And no- I do not agree with the theory that Carrie wanted the era to end. She always wants as many singles as possible to go to radio. Kelly Clarkson herself said the labels pick the singles - as well as how many you get. Artists have input- that is all. Carrie said as much once or twice too. She has said the label picks the singles, with me input from her. I am so sick of Miranda getting special treatment. So unfair!
