Thrilling

Via a link at Reason Online, here's a helpful discussion of Michael Jackson's--and others'--worldwide sales figure. (This is useful, too.)

In a time when the numbers for movies, theatre and television are at your fingertips, it's surprising how wrong reported numbers can be for music. Whenever the general media discuss record sales, they usually quote exaggerated numbers from pr handouts. It's good to see someone try to set the record straight.

"Belgium, 550,000, 11xPlatinum, second to Helmut Lotti’s Goes Classic only."

Speaking of swearing, further evidence there's good reason why Monty Python used Belgian as an epithet.
