There also seems to be a lack of understand of how Taxi works and what it is (or isn't). Once a forward goes off to the company/library/record label, it's out of Taxi's hands. They're not an agent and their role isn't to lobby the listing parties for placements on behalf of their members. The member's music is what gets the deal. Taxi simply makes the introduction. Everyone that gets forwarded gets an introduction to the listing company via their music. That's how it works. What I really don't understand is why you're posing a Taxi-internal-statistic question to a handful of people, none of whom work for Taxi or have worked for Taxi. The only people that can give you those answers in detail is Taxi itself, more specifically Michael Laskow. Why don't you call Taxi yourself, ask for Michael Laskow and "dumb down" the question so that he can understand it? After all, if you're interested in the answer, a conversation with Laskow would be the best place to get it, right?. The private conversation wouldn't be nearly as attention-drawing as your approach here but certainly that's where the answer lies.
If you're planning on giving some trivial excuse on why you won't be calling Taxi for your answer, believe me, we've heard every excuse imaginable over the years from the dozens and dozens of previous bold anonymous posters who were all too timid to actually pick up the phone. Each one believed that their excuse for timidity was clever and unique and if presented with enough bravado that the excuse would also be "convincing".
It would be refreshing to see you not follow that worn out path.If you do call, maybe you'll update this with whatever you found out. After all, we don't work for Taxi and we don't know the answer. Why would we? We're composers and musicians, not shareholders or officers of Taxi. Call Taxi for the detailed placement history you seek.
