Black artist of similar quality though. Doesn't physical appearance and image play a part in how an artist resonates with the general record buying public? It plays a part in Eminem's groundbreaking success (even though he's a legendary rap talent). That's why I wouldn't get too heavy into using actual sales numbers to illustrate your point.
