Reply #24: Amazon is one outlet, not the entire Big Kahuna, Kahuna

And your link shows that one Beatles album ranks 20th in music. But there is no comparison available for BBM, you would have to add up all of the CD's sold that have a BBM piece on it to have a fair comparison. And you could add in all of the CD's that do Beatle's tunes covers as well to make it an apples to apples comparision.

But even if the sales of Beatles CD's are higher on Amazon, which I would imagine they are, this is one outlet, and all that shows is that the demographic that shops on Amazon for CD's prefers to buy Beatles CDs.

Again, Classical CD sales are 3% of the total industry sales, and oldies category, which applies to groups that have not recorded in 30 years, is only 1%.
