Latin music sales plummet in 2007
Tagged: Daddy Yankee, NielsenPosted on: December 10th, 2007
2007 was not a good year for Latin music.
As of the week ending December 2, only 19 Latin albums sold more than 100,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Two more albums are likely to make the mark by year’s end — but 21 is quite a slide from the 32 releases that did so in 2006 and the 29 from 2005.
Worse, the top-selling Latin album so far, Daddy Yankee’s “El Cartel: The Big Boss” (El Cartel/Interscope), had sold 248,000 copies as of December 2. In contrast, his “Barrio Fino En Directo,” the top-selling album of 2006, had sold 484,000 by year’s end.”*
