I tend to agree to a point. While I'm sure Mikey is a little over enthusiastic in his report, I'm also of the belief that neither Neilson or Soundscan can gauge EVERY vendor out there. There are a lot of Mom and Pop run shops that fly under radar. I think it would be an unfair bias either way if Neilson or Soundscan reported based ONLY on the number of pressings coming out of plants.

I'd also like to think that we must factor in how many pressings have defects and are returned/trashed/etc. and never "make it" in the real world. Sure, they may have been purchased initially, but who says that a vendor will take back a defective record (even for an exchange) or that the end user just doesn't trash it out of frustration (which I did only ONCE in my life)!

It's still an interesting read, nonetheless...
