67 million records were sold.

We are asked to find out how many more Pop/Rock records than Soul records were sold in the year?

From the given information we see that

Pop/Rock records = 56%

Sour records = 17%

Let's find out 17% of 67 million

`67*(17)/(100)=11.39\: \text{million}`

Now find the difference between Pop/Rock records and Soul records

`difference=37.52-11.39=26.1\: \text{million}`

Therefore, about 26.1 million more Pop/Rock rethan Soul records were sold in the year
