U.S. album sales — meaning CDs, cassettes, etc — were down 15% in 2007 from the previous year.

Digital music sales, however, were up 45% from last year.

Also, you guys bought 220 million ringtones this year.

Rock on.

  • If it were not for me whipping out my DEVO and RICK SPRINGFIELD RECORDS, my daughter would never know what vinyl was, except when she see’s Britneys kids 25 years from now in their Vinyl Bondage Sex Tapes.

  • i wont comment on the stupidity of the person who posted above me. oops, i just did. oh well, guess i may as well just say that was like totally stupid LOL .. first of all it’s the wrong thread, and second of all she’s about as close to getting her life together as michael jackson is at getting a job as a camp counselor.

    ANYWAY … i think it’s sad to hear about the 15% and all the layoffs that probably went along with it.
