more than likely both will happen...there will also be

3. horrible scrutiny
4. calls for your head
5. reports of sexual innuendo happening while your album plays (backpacker/boho love)
6. urination (i don't even know why)

word. platinum is hardly failiure. but with the 4½ year wait, label expectations and his reputation, don't you think a little more was expected? I'm not sure how many albums were sold, but it would seem that the folks at Virgin would expect L-Boogie type numbers and grammy nominations and the like considering it was his first album on the new label. I mean, with the sucessful tour and the strength of Untitled, he proved he was a superstar...but more could have been attained. I'd think that the label would be more likely to give D the freedom to do things his way if the first album on virgin would have sold like 7xplat. Hopefully that ain't the case.
