Too much time on my hands (not the Styx song)....SACD related (1 Viewer)

[Danny Tse]

Just to give you guys and gals an idea of how pathetic my life is, I counted up all of UMG's SACD releases thus far from sa-cd.net based upon the below quote from audioholics.com....

****The Universal Music Group said that they were on schedule to have ~350 SACD titles by year's end ....".****

I suppose this is on a worldwide basis....325 releases so far, not including upcoming SACD titles from Elton John, Eric Clapton, etc...

The top 5 Universal labels (out of 29), in terms of SACD releases are....

1. Deutsche Grammophon 49
2. Mercury/Polydor 36
3. Universal Music - Hong Kong 29
4. Universal Records 23
5. Philips Classics 21

Good work Danny. Very interesting.

I wish we could combine this thread with the one I posted today on the number from each label as calculated by Stephen Best.
