Accounts Quote by Cary Sherman
“We do not take into account the value of the stream. We see the number of streams as a measure of consumer demand, not the value. As it is, we think streams are under-monetized, and we are complaining loudly about that. If the value of a stream changes, we won't alter the count because we don't want to alter the history of the program because that would impact these milestone achievements.”
![“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…” quote by Cary Sherman](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4d4/cary-sherman-70415_albums_10-years-ago-in-2006-nearly-90-percent-o_649672.jpg)
