CSPC: Fleetwood Mac Popularity Analysis

[sorcerer999]

It makes total sense that the "GH" album has sold that much. The population of "casual music fans" and "non music buyers" far exceeds that of music aficionados and fanatics.

A greatest hits CD (cassette, or vinyl) appeals to those people who only have to buy the CD ONE TIME to own all the radio hits that they are most familiar with in regards to a particular artist. They don't care about the individual albums. They don't care about the "deep cuts" that were never played on the radio. It's all about spending as little money as they can on as many popular and familiar things.
