Numbers and Facts About the Music Industry


Ever wonder how much piracy really effects the music industry? (I mean, let's face it, you probably came to this blog because you saw that you could get a free MP3.) Head over to Geekologie and see some real numbers. It's actually pretty interesting.

And can we just pause for a second to look at the Top 10 Digital Songs of 2009:

ARTIST TITLE SALES (millions)
Lady Gaga Poker Face 9.8
Black Eyed Peas Boom Boom Pow 8.5
Jason Mraz I'm Yours 8.1
Lady Gaga Just Dance 7.7
Black Eyed Peas I Gotta Feeling 7.1
Taylor Swift Love Story 6.5
Beyoncé Single Ladies 6.1
Soulja Boy Tell'Em Kiss Me Thru the Phone 5.7
Kayne West Heartless 5.5
Britney Spears Circus 5.5

Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas worked it. Not to mention that you can insert some Kanye jokes.
