first off i said music sales in general have declined, every bright person knows that, even eminem admitted if he was black he would've sold half justin bieber already over 30 millions chris brown bout 10 millions, eminem 80 plus millions jay z 50 millions, madonna over 300 millions, janet, whitne & mariah 100 millions, brittany spears over 100 millions beyonce 75 millions, its only 14.1% off blacks in america and most don't even buy music, i could go on but i rest my case.
