I don't know if this is a bug or what, but I'm well over a year into my group in story mode and I can not get more than 50k sales tops. Even doing money cheats so I could fire all of the staff and replace them with the highest ranked producer/choreographer/marketing I can't hit the tops sales position and it's a little ridiculous. I actually kind of forgot there was a story mode because it's been so long in game since I've been able to advance it.
