1	Musical Missteps: The Severity of the Sophomore Slump in the Music Industry Zackery, Shane M. 17 May 2014 (has links) This study looks at alternative models of follow-up album success in order to determine if there is a relationship between the decrease in Metascore ratings (assigned by Metacritic.com) between the first and second album for a musician or band and the 1) music genre or 2) the number of years between the first and second album release. The results support the dominant thought, which suggests that neither belonging to a certain genre of music nor waiting more or less time to drop the second album makes an artist more susceptible to the Sophomore Slump. This finding is important because it forces us to identify other potential causes for the observed disappointing performance of a generally favorable musician’s second album. music sophomore slump sophomore jinx music industry music critics measures of success Applied Statistics Behavioral Economics Experimental Analysis of Behavior Other Film and Media Studies Other Music Statistical Methodology
