I imagine scenes such as this:
Music Exec 1: "What shall we do for next Christmas?"
Music Exec 2: "How about some more One Direction?"
Exec 1: "Great! What else?"
Exec 2: "Gary Barlow? The public loves Gary Barlow?"
Underling in the corner: "What about Meat Loaf? We've got piles of his songs. Couldn't we do something with those?"
Exec 1: "Ha! Who the ~~~~ wants Meat Loaf?! Nobody listens to that sort of crap!"
Knock Knock
Exec 2: "Come in."
Meat Loaf enters the room...
Exec 1: "Of course Mr Aday. We'd love to promote your next album. We'll sort you out a fantastic TV campaign, double page advertising spreads in every paper and glossy magazine and a 2 hour TV promo concert. Just leave it with me.
Meat Loaf leaves the room...
Underling: "Boss, shall I phone marketing about Meat Loaf's campaign?"
Exec 1: "~~~~ no! It's only Meat Loaf. Who the ~~~~ wants to listen to Meat Loaf?!"
Exec 2: "Now where were we? I know! How about Gary Barlow and One Direction together?"
