Rich Bengloff, who leads the American Assn. of Independent Music, dropped some updated industry stats at SXSW that he said were courtesy of Nielsen SoundScan. Ten years ago, 28,000 full-length albums were released. That number swelled to 134,000 in 2009. More stark, of the 103,000 albums released in 2008, only about 6,000 sold more than 1,000 copies.
