TEA

ANYONE FOR TEA? Robin Thicke’s album and singles sales, referenced immediately below, combined to give IGA a TEA tally of 215k, while Imagine Dragons added another 32k—all in all, a fine example of synchronicity, that term dreamed up by noted tea drinker Sting in the’80s (oh, wait, it was Carl Jung in the ’20s, but whatever). Meanwhile, Capitol Music Group, #2 in new-release marketshare thanks to Caroline-distributed Five Finger Death Punch, as we pointed out yesterday, came kissing close to second place by this measure, as Capital Cities added the equivalent of 10.3 album units to 5FDP’s actual 113.6k. You’re following us on this, right? C’mon, people—calculating TEA is not nearly as challenging as following the dialogue and subplots in an episode of The Newsroom. (8/8a)
