It's really pathetic when the highest-selling album of the year can't even sell 4 million copies.  I remember times when there was almost always one record a year that went Diamond, or at least something like 8x Platinum.

[Meho]

Sales really wnet down in 06

[MIAMI4LIFE]

this might be the last yr of the CD, companies are going to start to look for other venues to make a profit, CD sales were down 5% and have been going down for the last 6 years while file to file sharing networks and digital downloads are at an all time high

[AlerG]

It's crazy, nickelback is number 4 and they're album was released in late summer 2005...i'm pretty sure that album is closing in on 4 1/2 million now,

[Suga Foot]

That Hinder song is really starting to piss me off.  I didn't think they were that popular tho.

Nickelback was just certified 5x plat, they are one of the few acts that consistently sell still

[wcsoldier]

[Tanjential]

i know so many fuckin' scene kids that won't let vinyl die. if vinyl is what it is, then i'ama be coppin' cds for a long time. there'll be mad sales when they stop makin' them shits. it'll be coo'.


also, the dvd format( a la ice cuibe/dogg pound vid for every song) will become popular among the record industry before cds die.

[Suga Foot]

CD's won't die.  They're profitable when they sell.  I'd rather buy a CD than pay for a DL.  I always pick up cheap CD's at best buy.  Like the new Roots album was like 8 bucks, I didn't plan on pickin it up, but it was so cheap so I did.

[MIAMI4LIFE]

anybody remember cassettes, I still have my Doggystyle one with G'z up Hos Down in my boombox

[Suffice]

This shit is disgusting. People really have horrible tastes
