from a Slate article comparing the iTunes Top 100 with the Billboard Top 100:
"Billboard says that Apple, the most aggressive player in this market so far, is selling an average of 500,000 tracks a week. If that's true, and it takes just 1,500 sales to be No. 1, then the variety of tracks that people are downloading must be extremely broad—particularly compared with, say, the variety of tracks that make up a typical Top 40 station's play list."Posted by alevin at July 26, 2003 08:35 AM | TrackBack
