                I find the statement "quality does prevail" to be
     ridiculous in this context.So this woman outsold Madonna.The 
     same people who put Madonna's album at the top of the charts
     put this "Hounds of Love" (that title just reeks of intelligence)
     up there,and you've got your nerve saying that quality has pre-
     vailed.Nothing new or interesting has prevailed.The people who
     stretched their minds with "Like A Virgin",in search of a "new
     experience" have bought this album and made it popular.In a month
     when their profound musical appetites seek new quenching somebody
     else will take that coveted #1 position.Compare this to "Dark Side
     of the Moon" which has been on the charts for almost a decade.

              Quality prevails,all right.But in people's minds,not on re-
     cord charts.
