Last year, 2010, was the fourth straight year where sales of albums (CDs) were down, and they dropped by 20%!! Their days are numbered.
A total of 326.2 million units were sold, the lowest since 1991. Only 13 managed to break a million in sales.
Most record stores or out of business and when you go into Wal-Marts, K-Marts, Best Buys and the like, every few weeks, the amount of space they have goes down. It's just a matter of time before there will be none.
And the culprit? All you downloaders and the record companies as well. Record companies should have drastically lowered the price of CDs.
Sadly, you downloading types will never have the pleasure of going to a store and physically thumbing through albums or CDs, talking music in mom and pop stores, and finding that one or two "right" offerings.
