How do they compile CD sales statistics?

Answer by  Jess35 (445)

To compile CD sales statistics, the company of choice looks at the number of CDs sold in stores, as well as the number of albums bought online and/or downloaded off the internet. The company is then able to come up with weekly, monthly, and yearly statistics to rate how well the CD performed in sales.

CD sales statistics are compiled by sales from the manufacturer to the distributor as well as by sales from the distributor to the retailer.
