Read the entire CIMS Top 200 and newsletter after the jump.
Hey Y'all,
Just got back from an amazing conference with all of our CIMS buds out in LA. We discussed all of the weighty matters you would expect. What I came out of this conference with was a renewed sense of respect for all of these great purveyors of music and how they are coping with all of the technology changes that are racking the industry. Obviously you can look at this chart and look at the Billboard Top 200 and tell we are in the different music business. We are extremely happy to be considered a needed filter for our customers and plan on filtering for a long damn time.
Here is the chart:
