Sales Figures for the 70's Supremes, without Diana Ross

[BayouMotownMan]

Very true. Low percentages of low sales = little to nothing. A check for $2.48 could be due someone.

Wait; I thought Garth Brooks sold the most albums of any artist...

Ya, maybe the lists are flawed; we each could make our own lists if we did enough research.

I guess they reflect world wide sales but 66 M for Thriller seems a lot. And MJ died broke??? Oh well, I guess there is more credibility to that than the MAA.

I'm sure Rob, I've heard tales of an entertainer getting a check for $2.38

[BayouMotownMan]

MJ was far from broke, he just overextended himself. It was a cash flow issue.

Many times very wealthy people are rich on paper...it does not mean that they have access to the funds. I sure wish I had that problem

hullo, right here!!!!..ding ding ding...after releasing my second dance single in 2004, I was immediately in debt to the label that released it for 3 grand, even though it was already produced/recorded before we delivered it, complete with artwork for the sleeve for the CD single..welcome to the music biz!
