The truth is that when it comes to album sales, mainstream recording companies still take the lion's share. But take Stefanie Sun's A Perfect Day, for instance. Although about 100,000 copies sold, when you factor in the NT $ 10 million-plus spent on promotion, it's still a money loser.
事實上，若單就總銷售量而言，主流唱片仍舊在市場上佔有獨霸地位，但以歌手孫燕姿 2005 年專輯《完美的一天》為例，雖然擁有十萬張左右的高銷售量，不過由於唱片公司動輒上千萬元的宣傳預算，因此仍舊慘賠。
