Angry Web News: Music industry fiddles with the figures

Music Download Figures Shock
Quote:
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has raised controversy once more as serious discrepancies emerge between its own announced sales figures and those released by official US chart hit enumerator, Nielson Soundscan.

As the RIAA's own first-quarter 2004 figures report a 7 per cent decline in music sales, the Soundscan figures reveal a 10 per cent increase in unit sales. Soundscan uses the barcodes on CDs to register sales at record stores

What they meant was a 7 percent decrease in their projected 200 percent increase! Die RIAA Die!

actually, the RIAA uses shipping data, while Soundscan uses the sales data. basically, sales are up but shipping is down, which means even MORE profits, unless they're making a ton of CDs and not shipping them.
