I wonder how much majors actually make from "specialist" disc sales though

I believe I saw an article about a year ago, which claimed that "best selling" classical releases (a heavily promoted Hilary Hahn release was mentioned) only needed to sell about 500 copies per month in order to attain a "No. 1" rating within the classical segment of recordings - at least during some months. The claim was that the market for "specialist" music is just not that big, no matter what the format (disc, streaming, etc.). I know, this could be one of those "I read it on the internets, so it must be true" kind of articles - but it didn't necessarily strain my credulousness.
