Gee, I wonder what happened:
Music retailers suffered their steepest sales decline in three years during 2005.
Compared with 2004 -- which, in a tic of the calendar, had a 53-week retail year -- the market for CDs plunged more than 10 percent. Based on a 52-week year, sales were down nearly 8 percent.
This crash -- the worst since 2002, which witnessed a plummet of 10.7 percent -- was all the more dizzying for retailers because the business appeared to be rebounding in 2004, when sales rose a modest but encouraging 3.8 percent.
Let's see... shit music, complete and utter condescension toward the customer, malware, shit music, uh, gee. I have no idea why people don't want to buy major label CDs. Ashley Simpson? Garth Brooks?
