“10 years ago [in 2006], nearly 90 percent of those albums sold enough in that year to reach Gold status. 10 years later, about 30 percent were eligible. With the new rules, we figure about 40 percent of the top 200 best-sellers for the year will be eligible. We were very cautious in our approach to changing how we calculate what is eligible because the integrity of the process is our foremost consideration. It's difficult to get certified sales awards, and it's a big deal and we didn't want there to be a huge change in how many would be eligible.” WantYearsEnoughBigsWould BeProcessDifficultDealsFiguresHugeIntegrityApproachPercentYears AgoGoldAlbumsConsiderationAwardsBig DealCautiousSellersBest SellersHuge Changes Author:Cary Sherman

“Donald Trump is sort of an Orwellian figure, an authoritarian figure who is twisting words in an Orwellian manner, "1984," to exercise power and control people's minds, or is he a 5-year-old who has an ego that needs to be fed, and the universe has to warp around his ego needs so he can feel good about himself, and everybody has to produce photos to make the monarch feel like he's made of gold.” PeopleNeedsFeelsYearsMindMadeUniverseFiguresProduceTrumpExerciseEgoGoldFeel GoodFedsMonarchsWarpPower And ControlOrwellian Author:David Brooks
“I wonder," she said. "Does this castle have a moat?" A group of servants were busy emptying the privy buckets into the moat when they were startled by a sudden drawn-out cry. They looked up in time see a scarlet-and-gold clad figure sail out of a first-story window, turn over once and then land with an enormus splash in the dark, rancid waters.
