the sales from spots 200 to about 75-25 probably reflect the tastes of the general public more than the top 25 and onwards (with a few exceptions). So many of the songs in the top 100 aren't really selling music when they sell copies of discs as some fans buy many just to get a prize or for some other reason unrelated to the content. They could've sold figurines or comics or you nane it instead probably. The market for music cds has shrunk considerably even if there are still (first week sales) records to be had.
