Distribution data

I wasn't able to find complete data for 2020. I could potentially go back to the last time CAB was used (2013? I'd have to check) and compare that with 2009 instead. I'd like to rework this section somehow but I'm unsure how right now. Someone else is free to take a stab --Jimmyjrg (talk) 12:45, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I will keep looking to try and build a better table. I need data from The Music, but they didn't report inside their magazines.--Jimmyjrg (talk) 06:22, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of The Music Network in "short lived publications"

· The music network was a trade magazine, and never a street press. It also wasn't short lived. Ran for decades as a magazine, and continues to exist now as an online publication. 2001:8003:268E:F400:ED66:9017:81AA:4873 (talk) 04:49, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'd seen it referred to as a street press, and I thought I'd seen it free, but I must have got it mixed up with something else. I've taken it out now. Thanks Jimmyjrg (talk) 09:26, 31 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
