The thought of having all that info at your disposal... 
Isn't a full subscription like thousands of dollars a year or something ridiculous?

TFM EP did not do well in Canada, disappearing from the meaningful ranks on the chart after what looks to be 8 weeks. I'd hazard to say that when Canada's contribution to TFM EP is removed, the number remains virtually identical.

GGGB is not close to 9 million. its 8 million. . I need to see reciepts on AGLM because last time I checked it was around 2 million not 3.3 million

It's kind of like Billboard.biz. I forget how much that subscription costs... definitely not thousands though.

Yes. Of course, it's a great deal for advertising and multinat media firms, who I'd assume are their primary customers. The bulk of their stats deal with consumer habits (hence the album sales - just a small slice of what they collect)
