What are they bragging about...the fact that they sold half as many copies as they would have maybe even five years ago? I think you got to put an asterik by those new platinum albums! I know everyone in the industry says the CD market is dead but damn that's depressing! It can't just be a singles market out there (the singles that rank at the top are awful and only cater to kids!). But frankly, will it be worth it for artists to make new albums if this is where it's going....Record companies to make new albums....Forget the death of the CD....Sounds like the death of new music! Then again, if people, 1. Stop making albums worth listening to and 2. Release them less frequently, you almost can't blame the consumer. A 3 year wait for albums from most major artists is absurd, especially when they come back with shit! The thing is that the labels are not making the connection between things like, how come Rihanna has had 4 top 10 singles and has only sold 700,000 records? Back in 1985 The Cars had Heartbeat City and that had 5 top 20 singles and sold 4 million copies, and the singles back then were more expensive too. Its not like they arent pushing her, shes on every magazine, shes always got a video, so there is an issue. But they arent connecting anything at this point, they can blame downloading all they want, and yes it is an issue, but there is a bigger picture to look at, things are so consolidated that its choking the industry to death, a typical radio playlist now spans 25 songs, back in the late 80's it had 75. MTV ran almost nonstop music videos every day back in the later 80's, this past week, they had 4.5 hours of videos, THE WHOLE WEEK COMBINED, ask yourself why arent Bruce or The Eagles or Paul McCartney and others affected? They are selling with no marketing whatsoever. What's why I love Sirius so much. While their playlists for stations that play new music aren't neccssarily all that different, their 80s channel has a Top 40 countdown they play on weekends....It's so refreshing to hear the diversity in music then. Maybe things will change and older artists, and not just super establishments like Bruce, will get their due. I find it crazy that there is so much great music out of print in this digital age. Granted, artists like the ones you listed probably don't have out of print discs but many do. | |

Now that High School Musical 2 and Hannah Montana are covered, we just have to find someone willing to admit to buying Akon's CD. | |

Try not to buy that many new CDs lately and with artists like that up there.... | |

They are selling with no marketing whatsoever. Rihanna doesn't have fans. She has fans of her songs but not fans of her. No one's going to buy someone's album if they don't care about the person singing the song, and basically Rihanna hasn't really given people a REASON to care about her, other than the fact that she's hot. Her songs are bumpin' but you wouldn't catch me buying the record. | |

I won't even let my daughter sing any Akon songs. | |
