According to the news, CD sales have dropped in a year to year comparison from last year (Spring time).
Everyone is avoiding the REAL issue of why CD sales have dropped!
There wasn’t great music released this spring! Plain and simple. I think I can say there I probably picked up under 6 new albums this spring. It has been a drought.
I have this theory that every 2 years you see a spike of CDs to buy, but I suppose that depends on what bands you listen to faithfully. For me, it averages out to every two years there is this onslaught of new music to buy, but then the next year, it’s kind of dead. Makes sense considering we need to give our fave bands some time to record!
Anyhow, I think somebody should take a look at this aspect of the low CD sales this spring.
