Per a conversation with a beatport exec, the highest selling track in the history of beatport had something in the neighborhood of 8000 downloads (as of march 07). i may have misheard him, but i remember the number being significantly lower than i would have guessed.

i would imagine that if a track stayed in the top 10 chart for ~1 month it would probably gather up around 5-6000 downloads.

either way, i think a couple thousand has to be the max on this

Ha, that's really exagerated, the true is you can get there with very few sales.
My friend, Bebop was in first place in the Tribal chart, with only 23 downloads at beatport, headstrong was first seller over audiojelly for three weeks, only with 30 or sort of, seriously, you wont get bucks selling digitally at all, all those 10 000, etc, are crazy, maybe big names like Pryds, but any other mortal like us not even dreaming.
Where really money comes:

1 - Licenses (Above all for Movies, TV, Radio, etc.

2 - Compilations (Only if your label is good and actually has exposure)

Kopi =o.

making money on music sales is pretty dismal. as stated, media is the only 'real' place to make money, whether it be tv, commercials, film, documentaries or internet based. Its really sad how an incredible EDM song will end up making $1000 if its lucky, but a crappy overplayed hip hop song, lands rappers into dream homes. Not very fair, but we kind of accept that fate in this industry.

If you love music enough to produce it you should have no problem complimenting it with Dj'ing so get out there and promote yourself..

I know thats where I want to head.
