Album sales trends

Great article from Billboard: "Analysis: Important Sales Trends You Need To Know"

Quoting stats from the article...

"Of the 97,751 albums released in 2009, only 12 of them sold more than one million units last year"

"Only 2,050 of 2009’s New Albums Sold Over 5,000 Units"

"Albums’ Second-Week Fade Are Getting Bigger"

"These factors combine to create a retail environment in which it is easier to get core fans’ attention but difficult to market beyond those core fans"


If this type of thing interests you then it is a great read. I know we all sit around and become record producers in our spare time deciding what Alizee should do or should be doing... read this article. It's tough out there. The music distribution industry is changing and changing so fast that what marketing strategy that worked 9 months ago is already obsolete.

So... it's easy to get core fans attention...hmmmm, I don't want to be easy...Alizée will you still respect me in the morning?
