Blogs More Than MySpace Sell Music Says News Study
A new study by New York University's Stern Business School tracked blog chatter for 108 albums for four weeks before and after their release dates.

The study showed that the volume of blog posts led to future sales, but that large increases in an artist’s Myspace friends had a weaker correlation to sales. According to the study, if 40 or more blog posts were made before an album's release sales ended up being three to four times times the average for both indie and major releases. If blog posts crossed 250, album sales rose to six times the average regardless of label.
