Not sure how long this will last, but Amazon's selling the CD at a discount for whatever reason.

I got the album at Target Saturday.

Bought it used for $7.20 shipped on amazon. Rather have the CD than MP3 If I can help it.

Yeah if I was going to be online shopping for music, I'll buy the CD. Fuck an MP3.

Wow, it's probably not selling well. Too bad because it's a great album. The one shortcoming is that her voice is really thin. More guest vocalists would help.

It debuted in the top 10 and sold something like 28,000 it's first week.

For a jazz album that's "Thriller" numbers.

MP3s suck. Just sayin'. As a matter of fact, the deluxe edition of Radio Music Society has some of the coolest packaging I've ever seen. And the short film DVD with all of the videos to all of the songs on the album is superb! Must have.

I heard that. Once I get over my phobia, I'll begin to purchase (but with caution lol).

There's also a vinyl version, but it has no DVD.

Pretty much. It's a success as far as I know it. Plus she's got the Grammy exposure.

It's always a great option when you get offered Flac files. Wonder why Amazon does not give you the option? When I purchased Sandra Rodriguez EP I was shocked to see a Flac option. BTW the EP is great.

The charts have always been "ruined". Decades ago, record companies sometimes bought lots of their own acts records to spike the Billboard listings. Distributors paid record stores to report that certain records were selling more/less than they were. Record club (Columbia/RCA) purchaces didn't count as sales. It isn't a requirement to report sales to the RIAA anyway, and many (especially small labels) didn't. Labels often underreported/overreported sales depending on their agenda. Labels also release some records to fail on purpose for a tax writeoff or quiet performers who complain a lot and want to leave for another label, to kill their chances for a bidding war and/or lose some of their audience.
