"Have some fun with it"... For most bands, each album they put out is a year's worth of effort and a year of income. You don't want to get de-listed from the charts because it looks like you're gaming the system. If your album charts, it's guaranteed radio and playlist placements, leading to more exposure.

Most bands are funded similar to VC.. there's an investment, then payoff then profit. If you don't payoff the investment because you "had fun with it", your band will be dropped and you are searching for a label while working your day job.
