Had the label been able to gain Trent's cooperation, I bet NIN would be resigned. Not so much a dropped artist, then.</p> I think it’s pretty clear that Nine Inch Nails chose not to renew with a major label.

The CD is a Walmart exclusive, downloads are available online everywhere. His music video "Witness" was #1 on VH1 Top 20 Countdown for three weeks, and he's putting together a tour now. So Bo is a Freebird, doing alright for himself!!</p> Bo Bice formed his own record label and recorded a fantastic album called “See the Light” in his own recording studio — all his own orignal songs!

It's more just "Artists who are no longer with their former labels" right? Moby & Warhols, for example, were they booted or are they just looking for new contracts? Cause even if their actual sales are disappointing those licensing fees have got to be pretty lucrative, no?</p> Since technically not all of these are “dropped”, as in the bigwigs kicked ‘em to the curb, it’s a little hard to draw any conclusions from this list.

The casualties of the EMI/Capitol/Virgin shakeups alone would probably be a longer list, but probably most of the acts dropped, as with most of the acts signed in the first place, are people you never heard of and never got to release an album.</P> Yeah, this list can’t be anywhere near comprehensive (although I’m still really glad Hollywood Insider put it together).
