@DianaKat1 only recording companies know album sales number in China
Actually, although there is no central sales reporting service for China (like Soundscan in the US), some of the numbers are known by organizations other than record labels -- most notably total sales numbers are reported by all 4 majors to the IFPI. >> There are NO accurate numbers on sales by album and/or artist. Major record companies license Baidu
China is a market with huge potential for the music industry. Yet it has
suffered from an estimated 99 per cent digital piracy rate in recent
years, meaning the legitimate market has operated at only a fraction of
its true potential.
China has nearly twice as many internet users as the US, but digital
music revenues per user are currently about 1 per cent of that of the US.
More than 70 per cent of music sales in China are digital, but the market
has achieved a tiny fraction of its potential. In 2010, China’s overall
music sales were worth only US$67 million, making it a smaller market
than Ireland.
In July 2011 three major record companies – Universal, Sony and
Warner - struck a partnership with China’s largest internet company,
Baidu, a milestone in the music industry’s development in China. While
the other major company, EMI, already had a licensing agreement with
Baidu, under the new venture Baidu pledged to close its infringing
deep-linking music search service. The agreement between Baidu and
One Stop China, in which the three music companies are investors, also
marked the close of years of litigation.
Under the terms of the new partnership, consumers can download
tracks for free from Ting, a new legitimate service supported by
advertising revenues.
The deal by no means ends China’s piracy problem. Other unauthorised
“deep-linking” services are still operating, while cyberlockers and illegal
download sites remain a huge barrier to growth. China has increased
its commitment to fighting piracy with numerous special anti-piracy
campaigns. These have achieved some results, but a sustained
enforcement campaign is needed over the long-term.China facts and figuresMusic sales 2010 US $67 million Digital sales penetration 71% Piracy rate Estimated 99% Source: IFPI.Link: www.ifpi.org/content/library/DMR2012.pdf |

evergreen, thank you. I feel sad lately, you know, one of these days. So I need to hear and see more of Adam, his unique voice, beautiful eyes and laughter from the heart. Adam is my oxygen, should I be ashamed of this.. Are days in which my brain works more logical and a little more like I should be thinking in my age, I feel I should be ashamed of what I do, but my mind can quickly be turned and told me to fuck logic, and without thinking I'm in Adam paradise again. My life right now: work, home, Adam, Adam, work, home. I neglected my boys over the past two years, thanks God they get used to my insanity, so there is no tragedy here. I'm not going to go into hiding because it's really my confusion, a feeling of doing something wrong. I love Adam, you love Adam, we are all here for Adam and all is good again.

Ladymaserati, you said that so nicely! No, you are not insane and there's no need to be ashamed and hide! I can totally understand you, it's the same with me here at the moment! I also need to see and hear more of Adam at the moment because I'm ill and not feeling well and having lots of fears these days! Watching Adam helps me a little bit through these hard times!
Hope everything will soon be better again for you!
