Probably because a lot of women have crappy taste in music...
They're the ones buying the Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, etc. albums and the
Titanic Soundtrack...which are all usually #1. I'd say chicks also buy
most of Britney Spears and N'SYNC material. And usually they'll buy them
at a discount store like Target or some place like Blockbuster Music...
At the music stores I go to, which are all INDIE stores of course, I'm
surrounded my a lot of "cool" alternaguys and punk guys. Hardly any
chicks...
