Who are these "2nd time around" artists of which you speak? Not a single artist I know that failed to recoup on their initial advance terms and has been subsequently dropped has gotten "better deals" second time around. Since the advent of the internet and digital file distribution the concept of "less" of a gamble in relation to anything committed to recording for any record company is a nonsense.
"Lesser known artists who don't have past success" such as who? Which artists do you know who are in a deal are represented by an already acknowledged as fictional and distorted (by your own admission) pie chart?
It's somewhat Ironic that you share your username with what was once one of the
iconic UK labels.
