i seriously doubt any of those "top 40 people" would even KNOW what label trent runs and who else is on it. do you think people are going to say "oh, how can you listen to plug! he's on the same label as 9" nails!" who cares? aphex twin is on sire in america, same as madonna used to be. what does it all mean!

i guess i don't care if the artist sells 1000 or 1000000000 copies. if it's good, i'll buy it. i can't see why anyone would think otherwise.
