What this is
Tail units × the same year's per-unit TPC take on million-seller rows × 0.25–0.60: tail units are catalogue, discounted, bundled, older-platform or download-only copies earning a quarter to three-fifths of a launch-year unit.
The values
- Year to February 2026: 1.6 to 15.7
- Year to February 2025: 0.6 to 3.6
- Year to February 2024: 0.7 to 3.6
- Year to February 2023: 4.9 to 25.6
- Year to February 2022: 6.5 to 35.9
- Year to February 2021: 1.4 to 8.6
Some detail is too fine to show here; it is kept in the trainer’s notes.
