How to calculate record sales, introduction to record sales

Quote: Regarding record sales, I can explain that I only learned about it a few days ago from a friend who is familiar with the record industry

In Taiwan, most record companies rarely release cassettes anymore, almost all of them are CDs, and sales are bothSingers can take a royalty from it

But in the mainland, it is more special, and record sales depend on what position you look at

Because there is a habit in the mainland record industry, that is, the records imported from Hong Kong and Taiwan, the sales profit of the cassette is not to pay dividends to the singer, only the CD profit singer can get it

As far as the singer is concerned, no matter how much the cassette is sold, she will not be able to share the moneyThat kind of sales is only equal to empty

But record companies will still add up cassette and CD sales

As for when the calculation is reached, it is not necessarily, the company has its actuarial calculationsThis is to be used for accounting, to share dividends with singers, and to be responsible to shareholders, so it must be accurateBut the real sales volume is a trade secret and will not be known to the outside world

But for the general public, the most sold record is when it is released, and the rate of sales decreases over time

When the speed is small to a small extent, and the sales volume is not easy to increase by much, it can almost be determined

For example, when you quit the G-Music sales chart, it's pretty much the same

Some people stay on the list for a short time, the calculation time is short, and some people stay on the list for a long time, for example, Jolin stays for 20 weeks, which is considered long, but all are not necessarily"

I was also more impressed.

I think it should all be counted!!

1.There is no official sales statistics ranking in Chinese mainland (province-wide. National) 2

The statistics on the leaderboard are based on sales, in the United States. United Kingdom. Taiwanese genus.

Japan has large record chain stores to count sales, these large record chain stores account for more than 50% of the domestic record sales, each branch reports the sales volume every week, and then the weekly statistics are given to the leaderboard. It's like if we go to the supermarket, buy an item, give it an infrared scan, and then they report how much the head office sold that item in a week.

3.There are also different registered record stores (non-chain stores) that report sales to the charts, which are then counted on the charts.

4.Taiwan's authoritative ranking is the public. G-Music's sales charts jointly organized by two record store chains.

Record sales refer to the number of sales of a singer, band or performer in the market after the release of the record, and is generally considered to be a thermometer of the popularity and popularity of the record. However, after about 2002, the overall physical record market in the world has shrunk dramatically, mainly because many listeners have turned to illegal ** and paid**, which has made it difficult for the new generation of singers to sell records, so it is inaccurate to compare the influence of singers of two different generations purely by record sales. By region, the world's largest legal** markets are, in order, Japan (the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France).

According to the form analysis, sales are still mostly concentrated in physical sales, accounting for about 75% and 90%. According to the analysis of song collection, sales are mainly concentrated in **, accounting for about 70% and 85%.

Take the sum of the sales quantity of ** as a statistical basis, not measure it by **--- make a record for each sale**, and use the **sales figure as the statistical basis, regardless of **, revision, reprint or live version....and other different versions of the model Xiaoqing, how many copies sold will be accumulated in the record, but the single and the green label collocation ** Shangdan grip are not included in the calculation of the Taiwan Billboard.

In addition, if there is a single large number of transactions in the Volkswagen and Rose Records stores, the G-Music Billboard will exclude the transaction records.

It is counted by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is a group representing the U.S. recording industry, consisting of a number of privately held corporate entities, such as record labels and distributors, that produce and distribute approximately 90% of American** records. The riaa has been involved in a litany of contested piracy lawsuits on behalf of its members.

The riaa held a rewards program for high-selling **, which began in 1958 and earned a "Gold Award" for singles and albums that sold $1 million. The program was changed in 1975 to be based on album sales, with 500,000 singles and ** recordings going to Gold Awards, 1 million albums in 1976 adding a Platinum Award, and in 1999 adding a Diamond Award to 10 million sales, and the program was open to RIAA members and non-members.

Calculate every Friday to the next Thursday at 2 o'clock at noon, sort out the list before 5 o'clock on Friday, and announce it at 8 o'clock on the Rose Volkswagen ** net Jane Destroy.
