Alamy sent out an email featuring "Top Selling Content Of 2021" at the end of last week. Been waiting for a discussion about the best selling images, but when I just checked out the lightbox, it was empty.
Any ideas what this is all about?
Did you check out the images? Strikingly many bestsellers were historic images.

it was such a weird definition

sold once for $2500  OR 25 times.  Not really equal, as for UK News image the  25 times could easily be under $100 in revenue.   
Maybe this is why to killed it,

I didn't get the email. Was it just if you were in the top selling content list?

It would have been nice on that list, but I think it was just a newsletter.
Since many images on that list were historic, wonder if it will be possible to be on future lists unless we begin scanning old photos (CC or ones we own the rights to)?
