chickadee Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 OK, this time I got sound but the vision was all corrupted. I'm not sure if it's cos my version of quicktime is too old or something:blink: I could still watch it but it was weird. And then, we didn't even actually hear any of the song!!! That's why I was particularly wanting sound, as I thought there might be a snippet or two of the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naectegale Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 That was all a bit of a con job. 1.3 million units of what exactly? When I used to do royalty audits (in the mid 80's) a "unit" was a term which included LP's, CD's, cassette tapes - so if someone sold 10 LP's, 5 cassettes and 20 CD's, they would have sold 35 "units" I think the royalties were paid per unit, irrespective of which type of unit. I suspect the definition has been updated to include downloads these days, so maybe it's the number of CD's + downloads in the US? I think the promo is aimed at the US music industry, to remind them of what they missed last time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the promo is aimed at the US music industry, to remind them of what they missed last time Yes but in that sense unit is just another term for album. The 10 LPs, 5 cassettes and 20 CDs would equate to 35 albums. Mika did not sell 1.3 million albums in the US so the units must include something else besides Life in Cartoon Motion as a whole. They must be counting single tracks as well as the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
