Reuters: Latin music sales reveal two buying patterns

"... the top 15 of the Top Latin Album Artists and Top Latin Albums charts are evenly divided between two general camps:

1. one encompasses youth-leaning reggaeton and regional Mexican (Alacranes Musical),
2. while the other comprises established, veteran acts with broad fan bases (Mana, Vicente Fernandez, Marco Antonio Solis).

The two extremes highlight two emerging markets for Latin music.
1. A steady, young consumer base is getting its music from multiple sources
2. while the more traditional, broad fan base still looks for albums by stalwarts like Fernandez and Solis.
