Selling 143 cds a month single handedly is not so easy.

I remember back in the day selling out of a pressing of 7"ers in 3 days.
would of been nice to have continuing sales.

comparing apples with oranges ... makes for a nice pretty graphic but that's about it
compares albums/ep revenue with individual track revenue
would like to see the revenue of a radio track that is broadcast to say - 1m ears?
also question the sources ... none of which are from the providers or the labels.
what this table fails to acknowledge is in the past 10 years music has gone from a predominantly recorded revenue stream to now being majority live based. So EMI/Universal are not the centre of the economy in terms of distribution control (via presses/store deals/shelf space) ... the Live Nation's of the world are the kings if distribution through touring/venue ownership/ticketing.

agreed - the bands themselves have spoken. hence the huge increase in performances and tours over the past 5 years.shepherd wrote:comparing apples with oranges ... makes for a nice pretty graphic but that's about it

You should check the sources, they're rather good actually.shepherd wrote:comparing apples with oranges ... makes for a nice pretty graphic but that's about it

This is a more detailed spreadsheet showing how these averages were reached.

I dont think it's claiming to apply to everyone. Its based on averages of what these things cost to buy/do pay for reproduction of, not the sales in themselves. Thinking that the industry at large is doing ok out of the paradigm shift from physical sales to live performance would be highly inaccurate. Some of the bigger bands are yes. Most labels are increasingly unlikely to foot the bill for touring.
It does say on the thing that it doesn't include mechanical royalties and is only an average of single sales because most albums can be bought as single tracks now.
