I am always very interested in how many records bands sell of their back catalogs. This is an article from CNN talking about the back catalogue sales of artists from the 80's and 90's.

There are some interesting tidbits in the article. For instance, it is CRAZY to me that AC/DC's Back in Black sold 440,000 copies LAST YEAR! That's a 27 year old album! amazing! Just amazing to me. It has already sold over 140 thousand this year alone.

What do you guys think? I wonder if soundscan has a website where you can track the sales of albums. I am always curious to see how much sonic youth sell each year.
