Topic History of: Amazing Guardian revelation about Mercury prize

Mart	I think whoever put that story together took filling a story out to new seemingly unobtainable heights! Only in August! My favourite August story this year was the classic "The Yeti does exist" (The mail 2 weeks back.) I don`t understand the Mercury prize and was stunned when some friends of mine got nominated for it a few years back.
JK2006	They reveal that artistes who were nominated and had sold virtually nothing have seen a huge increase in sales ratio whereas those already selling have only increased slightly. Am I alone in finding this not at all strange news? If someone sold 10 CDs and now has sold 1000, that's a massive percentage rise but a drop in the ocean. Whereas 2 million rising to 2.2 million is only a slight rise. Either I'm going mad or the media is.
