"A new Radio Format study conducted by THE MEDIA AUDIT reveals that among the top-20 highest reaching radio formats, Top 40/Rhythmic listeners are the biggest consumers of CDs and digital music downloads. According to the study, 42.8% of the format's weekly listeners frequently purchase CDs or download digital music. Among all U.S. consumers, 27.7% frequently purchase CDs or download digital music. The figure represents more than 41 million consumers across THE MEDIA AUDIT's 81 measured markets.

Mainstream Top 40 ranked second in the study, with 42.4% of the format's weekly listeners who frequently purchase CDs or download digital music, followed by listeners of Urban (39.2%), Hot AC (38.3%) and Rock (36.4%). Frequent purchasers are defined as having purchased CDs or downloaded digital music within the past four weeks."

I think the fact that 27.7% of America has puchased a CD/mp3 in the past month is very encouraging.

It has been this way for hundreds of years. Why is it a topic?

[JSngry]

I mean, what kind of world would it be if popular music wasn't popular? That'd be some kind of demonmath or something.

[Chuck Nessa]

Ah, demonmath. I forgot about that.

[.:.impossible]

Perhaps that's why that music is Top 40.

Can you imagine the thought process behind this study, and the conversation following the results? Satire.

[JSngry]

The most popular music sells the most. And the music that sells the most is the most popular.

Go figure that.
