Another holiday season has come and gone and so begins the next decade.

Fun Fact of the day:

In 2016, Mozart sold more albums than Beyonc茅.

In fact, Mozart sold the most CDs in 2016, beating out Adele, Drake, and Beyonc茅, even though all of those artists had Grammy-winning hits that year.

So, how鈥檇 an 18th-century composer sell more than pop music鈥檚 greatest names? Well, in October 2016, the Universal Music Group released a box set commemorating the 225th anniversary of Mozart鈥檚 death. Each disc included in the box set counted as one CD sold, and each set contained 200 discs. Throw in the proliferation of streaming鈥攚hich has significantly dampened CD sales鈥攁nd voila. Plus, the box set itself flew off shelves: As of this writing, there are only four remaining on Amazon ($686).
