Want to hear a relatively depressing statistic about album sales in 2011? OK, great, because that's just what you're getting here. Digital Music News reports that nearly 90 percent of all album sales last year came from 2 percent of the albums last year.
How? Well, there were roughly 76,875 albums released in 2011 and they sold a total of about 113 million copies. Of all those albums, a mere 1,500 of them equated to a total of 100 million sales. So that means around 75,375 albums pushed a total of 13 million units. Yeah.
