15,000 doesn not seem like very many but I guess if you factor in the unavailability of it in certain areas...... Ü |

Since the first week of April Taylor's , The Distance , has sold 5000 copies for a total of 23, 000 . There may be more but this is what has been recorded by USA Today. I don't know if there are more sold, but I believe it to be true. Certainly not thousands but a few thousand more would not surprise me............ sold from vendors/outlets that do not report to soundscan. |

So he sold more the week before AI appearance than the week of? That doesn't seem right. |

That makes more sense, thanks! I am really surprised that he didn't sell more being that he was seemed sky rocket on amazon, at one point I think his sales increased by 2000 percent (according to movers and shakers). I was hopeful that his sales would have been much better. |

It is the download of Seven Mile Breakdown that would most likely be positively affected by the AI appearance. How many people would buy the entire CD is still a question mark as the entire CD is not country. If you look at the Amazon sales , Barnes and Noble sales etc, the CD has had an uptake in sales. http://taylorconnections.com/topic/71004/47/#new The important numbers are the difference between the same hours on consecutive days. 7:30 AM on one day - 1000 / 7:30 AM on the next day 825 ...... has there been improvement and how much. ( The lower the number the better ) The CD sales at the Grease venues are not counted : they are sent to soundscan, but because Taylor has only been independent for a year, they would not count...... you have to be a recognized for two years to have the sales count on soundscan. That is how I understand the system. I am certainly not an expert in this "stuff".... am learning as I go. Amazon Movers and Shakers and everyother catagory are tabulated hourly.

Thanks for explaining. I don't know why a sale wouldn't count unless you have been around for at least 2 years. That just seems so wrong. No wonder artist have such a hard time making it as an independent. What a complicated business! |
