"Today, you're either very big or you're playing stadiums or you're not playing anymore. You're either popular where everybody will go to a 20,000 seat arena to see you or they won't go to see you at all"

This quote by Bobby Vinton is referring to the present state of the music market. He is saying that in order to achieve success in the music industry today, you should be either very popular or have a large following. If you don't have a big following, then you won't be able to fill a 20,000 seat arena and people will not concern see you. This quote is stressing the value of having a big fan base in order to be successful in the music industry. It is also highlighting the truth that the music market is becoming increasingly competitive and that it is becoming harder for smaller artists to make it in the industry.
