  Take a multi-platinum recording artist with a large and loyal fanbase. Force him to record cover songs for his all important sophomore CD, give him no pre-release promotion or positive press. Send an un-supported single to radio after his CD is already released, make sure there are no posters or placecards in the record stores. Withhold CD shipments to the stores, especially in North Carolina and leave your artist twisting in the wind after he "only" manages to sell enough CDs to come in #2 on the Billboard 200, outselling all other new releases that week and selling almost as many as the guy who has 2 hit singles playing ad nauseum on the radio.
