Oh shit yeah! This is just the beginning, Tower, even though it had about 100 stores, was a MAJOR purchaser for labels, they bought new releases in "serious" bulk, which is what Soundscan tracks, its the purchasing by the chain not the consumer. Someone also told me that WalMart doesnt report to Soundscan, not sure if thats accurate but that would be funny if what "so called" retailers are left, dont even report to soundscan "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

A label will charge between 10-12 dollars a CD to stores, now if labels would have dropped that to 8-10 per store and then set standard sale prices at 11.99. This is what the Video Game Industry does, any store charging less, is fined and doesnt get gaming shipments. But of course Labels wont lower their wholesale prices, because then the higher ups cant buy their second and third homes.

If they wernt...country album sales would not be as great as they are...just check the Country Soundscan Chart...there are albums 2-3-4 even 5x Platinum...and most country albums have legs and will stay on the chart for over a year and churn out hit single after hit single...they seem to be unaffected by the downloading drama.... Tower unfortunately only accounted for less than 10% of total album sales before they sadly closed their doors. My job was selling new releases to Tower and they really were great at setting up new releases and they will be greatly missed. peace Every minute of last night is on my face today.... | |

I know this first hand since i worked with the Urban Buyer for Sam Goody, and they were very big in urban areas, worked with alot of Reggae Suppliers working independant, but once Best Buy purchased Goody a few years back, it turned them into a "top 40" store, cut their catalog, dismissed any indie suppliers and alienated everyone.
