50 Depressing Facts About Music

These type of lists pop up all the time. I know Buzzfeed did one awhile back and this list comes courtesy of NME.com
Now when it comes to lists like this there's certain things you have to keep in mind. The 50 facts have to deal with album sales and so on. This cheesy artist sold more than this legend of music type thing. Like I said, you have to keep in mind music is much more readily available now as it was back in the '60s and '70s. Either way though, it's still pretty fucking sad to see some of the stats like the ones listed below:

-Katy Perry’s had as many US Number Ones (seven) from one album as Michael Jackson has.

-In the US, the cast of Glee has had more songs in the charts than the Beatles.

-Bruno Mars has already had three more Number One singles than Pink Floyd ever did.

-Number One albums Celion Dion has had:5. Number John Lennon has had:3

You look at things like this and most people know that Pink Floyd is better than Bruno Mars and that Katy Perry is not even in the same arena as Michael Jackson. Take it with a grain of salt but it's still a little sad to see some of the numbers.
