Editing 1931 in music (section)

==Top Popular Recordings 1931==

There were many talented writers, producers and performers in the music industry during 1931, but record sales were very low. 
After $75 million in sales during 1929, the stock market crash in October nearly destroyed the industry, after forty years of consistent operation. Sales fell to $18 million in 1930 and then $5.5 million in 1931, where they remained for the next four years. The top selling records of 1929 ranged from $500,000 and up, fell under $100,000 in 1930, $60k in 1931 and $20k in 1932, where they stayed for several years. Keep this in mind when reviewing sales figures. You may also notice less artists and records. Record companies were afraid of taking more losses, such as gambling on new artists and new styles. Guy Lombardo's recording schedule was unaffected because his releases always sold well, but there were few new acts. Most of the records released in 1931 came from [[RCA|Radio Corporation of America (Victor)]], Columbia/Okeh, Brunswick (now owned by Warner Brothers Studios) and [[American Record Corporation]] (ARC), which featured discounted "dime store" labels.

The top popular records of 1931 listed below were compiled from [[Billboard Hot 100#History|Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890–1954]],<ref name=PopMemories>{{Cite book|last=Whitburn|first=Joel|author-link=Joel Whitburn|title=Joel Whitburn's Pop Memories 1890–1954|publisher=Record Research|year=1986}}</ref> record sales reported on the "[[Discography of American Historical Recordings]]" website, and other sources as specified. Numerical rankings are approximate, there were no Billboard charts in 1931, the numbers are only used for a frame of reference.
