While sales of music is experimenting sharp downhill plunges for the last ten years or so, the videogames industry is more alive than ever, and thanx to tens of millions across the globe, top hits (especially violent First Person Shooter) keep on smashing sales records after sales records, making the movie industry look like amateurs and the music one like the poor parent.

"Call Of Duty: Black Ops" (which has voices of great actors like Gary Oldman or Ed Harris) is one of these uber-violent FPS (you can actually turn down the blood splatches and the profanity. In certains countries, dismembering is even forbidden or only available as an option. Yummy...)
Furthermore, Call of Duty uses music from the Rolling Stones (Gimme Shelter, a perfect song for an FPS...) and you would believe this has boost sales of the game ? Wrong way: it's Gimme Shelter the album that has enjoy sales in the wave of the game: nearly 20.000 albums were sold within the month...Other numbers that gives music exec' nightmares ? Callf Of Duty sold 5,6 MILLIONS copies the day of its release, making it the biggest lauch of ALL entertainement industry (music-movies-games) ever and earned the game...
