They're the ones who built their industry to revolve around hyper-promoted singles.

All iTunes did, was let people easily and economically acquire only the tracks they cared about.

That those people turned out to not be interested in the 'other 8 songs' or the CD single b-sides is hardly iTunes fault.

If the industry promoted albums and bands, maybe they'd get different results.
