Default As We Talk About the "BIZ"

The actual sales figures should be public


Because almost every other form of entertainment than music has more
intricate statistics out there all over the press.


And I'll bet you believe every one. You know how well one can lie with
statistics (and what appears to be statistics) don't you?

The weekend box office grosses that you see encourage people to go to
those movies. The packed football stadium statistics encourages people
to watch the game on pay-per-view TV. Often those "statistics" that you
see are exaggerated or diminished to the benefit of the one who publishes
them.

About the closest thing to honest entertainment media statistics are
the publication stats which are required by law to be published annually
in a controlled circulation magazine. If you're interested in how many
subscribers Mix has, you can get a pretty good idea if you find that issue
(usually near the end of the year) that has that data.
