> There would have to be 10 million albums released per year to get to a billion in a lifetime. Sorry, I left out that part of Kelly's estimate of 1b songs is that album rates will also continue to increase at the historical rate. It seems improbable to me that we could really hit 1.1b songs by 2060 (it's such a mindboggling number), but on the other hand, the world keeps getting wealthier, making music keeps getting cheaper, and the appetite and dreams of people for making music seems to know no limits...
