In the new Conde Nast Portfolio, there’s a two-page spread on “influential tastemakers” in the music industry. Whatever. Anyway, one of them is songwriter Diane Warren. The blurb on her says “Because You Loved Me,” the Celine Dion hit from 1996, “sold more than 50 million copies.” I don’t see how that can be remotely true. It could be the magazine meant that the industrious Warren’s hit songs collectively total fifty million in single sales; or it could be an overzealous publicist was totalling up the sales of every single–and every CD sold in the world–that had that song on it, which could conceivably total fifty mil, and passed the nugget onto the magazine. If I’m wrong and there have literally been fifty million individual sales of that track I would love to see how the sales broke down.
