| Abstract: | This paper examines whether commercial success in the popular recorded-music industry, as measured by gold-record output, conforms to an empirical concentration. The authors find that Lotka's Law overestimates the number of artists with one gold record and underestimates the number of multiple-gold-record performing artists. However, for all measures of "successful" records, the Generalized Lotka's Law provides an excellent fit, which suggests that the number of performers producing n gold records is about 1/n c of those producing one gold record. |
