Subject: Some interesting figures From: Darowyn Date: 04 Apr 07 - 08:22 AM I received a link to this site today from the PRS- Performing Rights Society. Folk music is a vanishingly small proportion of recorded music. I'm a little surprised by the relative sizes of the other sectors too. I have been observing for some time that it is odd that Pop Music is so unpopular. Maybe it's the definition they use though- I'm still trying to live down the fact that my CD is listed as Pop on iTunes! Have a look here CD sales figures Cheers Dave |

Subject: RE: Some interesting figures From: Scoville Date: 04 Apr 07 - 02:00 PM iTunes lists all sorts of things under designations that make no sense. I think one of my Red Clay Ramblers CD's came up as "pop". Not even "bluegrass" or "folk", but "pop". Actually, it made me laugh. I also looked up three albums by the same Cajun band and one came up as folk, one as country, and one as World. What the Hell? |

M. Manroe - had a 35-22-34 Mae West - had an nearly identical 36-22-36
Fascinating corrsets and girdles figures from Brazilian sites.

Subject: RE: Some interesting figures From: GUEST,Rigid Richard Date: 04 Apr 07 - 10:27 PM The UK does seem to deserve a portion of its own in this forum. After all there would not be American Folk if the ballad genius had not sprung forth the leniade of the Lion-Hearted. Anything the American claim as folk, blues, or trad crossed the Atlantic and sprung forth anew in vigin, fertile soil. |
