eMusic Says Sales Data Confirm "Long Tail" Theory

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on January 16, 2009 - 1:06pm.

New York - Digital music service eMusic said this week that internal data showing that 75% of the songs in its 5 million-track catalog were downloaded last year prove that the "long tail" theory of retail has merit, at least when it comes to its own service. A study in November from the MCPS-PRS U.K. licensing body concluded that the long tail theory was flawed, after finding that of the 13 million songs on the Internet, ten million had not sold a single copy.
