Last week Universal Republic Records sent out an email titled “THE ANATOMY OF A HIT RECORD!”.  It's really promotional piece for The Band Perry, but its also a reminder of how - at least for this major label - how little has changed.  The chart is almost all about radio, award show and an upcoming tour.  Social media and bloggers, for example, aren't even mentioned.
