It's a good ad and great PR for the hall of fame, if that's the intention.
However, I would have listed all of Jim's great songs and albums instead of other artists, which is kind of irrelevant.
You could have BOOH in the box at the top with a blurb '...in the top three album sales of all time at 43 million (and counting), and the only album in the top 20 written by one individual.'
Then list:
Bat 2 album sales figures, 'Total Eclipse' (god knows what it's total sales figures are), 'All Coming Back' etc etc
I think I'll do my own version.
