I don't know about that but here's an analysis that's sort of pertinent -
this is Douglas Wolk, writing in the Village Voice in March 2002 about the
year 2001.
<Overall record sales declined last year for the first time in two decades.
(Of course, everyone had a bad year in 2001, and a close look at the figures
reveals something curious: 2001's sales dropped by 22.3 million discs, or
about 3 percent, but 2001's top 10 albums sold, in aggregate, 20.3 million
fewer copies than 2000's top 10. Hybrid Theory was no No Strings Attached,
Shaggy was no Eminem, and there's your difference right there.) >
