A Few Brief Observations:
- if these numbers are correct, than the above represents almost $4 billion in transactions, which is more than last year
- many of these deals did not disclose the amount, and the above list may be missing a deal or two
- even if you remove the EMI, Bertelsmann and Live Nation / Ticktemaster deals, it’s still over $329,275,000 in transactions, which is also up from last year
- the second half of the year was stronger, with the third quarter being the strongest - the second half also led in terms of acquisitions as well, with most taking place in the fourth quarter, which may be an indicator of more acquisitions to come in 2010
