And Finally
Stryder disappointed with Tinchy sales figures
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 9 February 2011
Tinchy Stryder is a bit miffed that more people didn’t buy his third album, ‘Third Strike’, which was released last November and peaked at number 48 in the UK album chart.
He told BBC Newsbeat: “To be honest, how I wanted people to hear it, it might not have got to as many people. ‘Catch 22’ – the previous album – the success of that commercially compared to ‘Third Strike’, it hasn’t matched up. It’s weird because the music on ‘Third Strike’ is much more musical and powerful and deeper”.
It’s alright, though, he’s learned from this error of trying to make better music: “You learn more from failure than success, that’s real key. When a couple of things don’t go your way you understand and learn, and adjust what needs to be adjusted”.
