According to “Audio4Cast,” the top sales of songs on the Internet are limited to “hits”. You know, those songs that are played over and over on the radio, commercials, television shows, etc. This is not the least bit surprising to me but it’s a good point to remember when the U.S. music industry/FCC cries foul and inevitably keeps creating an environment where small webcasters like SomaFM, Pandora or even Pirate Cat Radio, are treated like Piraya and told there’s no place for them. Small outfits like this clearly bring a needed diversity of music to people (aka “the market”) and will only positively effect online music sales as people become exposed to a larger base of music. Until then I guess we’ll just cue up another Britney-Diddy-Gaga song on the ol’mp3 player…<sigh>…
