I'd assume that's 7.7 million track plays.

7.7 million * $0.005 = $38,500, which is the right order of magnitude. Then note that it says "less then [sic] half a cent per listen".

Sorry for OT but.. FFS! Now not even 'business journalists' can tell the difference between than and then.

They're just giving free reign to their creativity, man. Don't be like a king trying to rein on their parade.

Seriously, it is extremely depressing how low editorial standards have fallen.

Indeed. But to me it reads more like the album has been played 7.7 million times.
