Or they have no clue what to buy their 16 year old daughter (cuz well, it's like that with girls and their fathers), so the new Pink or Now! compilation seems like a good bet. Again, I would look to see if the article was based on the RIAA numbers. If you look at the consumer profile for 2001, it gives no indication about the types of sales. It's also misleading because 45+ is one big group, while all the other segments span only five years. http://www.riaa.com/pdf/2001consumerprofile.pdf B n.p.: DJ Cam - "Grand"
