The article text supplied is just the page's navigation/header boilerplate ("MusicFilmTravelArtNews Shop Mailing List… Cover Story | Yard Act") — it doesn't contain any actual article content (no mention of which song, artist, or sales figures). I also don't have permission to fetch the URL myself in this session.

Could you paste the full article text, or grant WebFetch permission so I can retrieve it? I don't want to guess at details like the song title or sales figures, since I'd risk fabricating facts.
