someone asked a week or so ago, no the RIAA does not
track LP sales through Web retailers, only through

"The RIAA's yearend market numbers reflect the quantity of pre-recorded
music - CDs, cassettes, vinyl, music video and DVD video product -
that record manufacturers ship to retail and non-retail channels (i.e.,
mail order operations, record clubs and specialty outlets like
Starbucks), minus returns for unsold product."

Am I the only person who sees a tiny little discrepancy here?

Since you "borrowed" this item off RAHE...the answer is no.

This whole argument of % of RIAA sales is bogus to me
anyway. I already know that my favs are shared by a fraction
of the masses..probably even less than Ludovics and Pauls.
Wait a sec...does that mean I can be even snobbier than
they are?
