Every week the best selling CD sells 200,000 or 400,000 or 600,000 units. Most weeks this is r and b or rap. The old folks are not, in general, buying 50 Cent, The Game, Chingy, Usher and all the rest of the hot sellers.

The main music market is, as it always has been, teenage to young adult. The old folks are still a minor niche. I don't know how kids buy CDs at these prices, but somehow they do. Big numbers week after week. You know, kids also drive the first week movie numbers, and movies don't cost much less than a CD.

Every once in a while, a Baby Boomer oriented title like a Beatles set sells big. And every once in a while, a band like U2 crosses over to the elder market. But that's rare. The big seller for this week will be The Game, produced by Dr. Dre. Projected sales up to 600K.
