Album Sales
Album sales refer to the number of copies of a music album sold to consumers. This can include physical formats like CDs and vinyl records, as well as digital downloads. Sales figures are often used to measure an artist's popularity and the success of their music.
In the music industry, album sales are tracked by organizations such as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Nielsen SoundScan. These organizations provide certifications, like gold and platinum status, based on the number of albums sold. High album sales can lead to increased visibility and opportunities for artists.
