with bad Cd sales. This drop in album sales has been accelerating year after year since 2002.

This week's 3.97-million album sales tally is the smallest weekly sum for album sales since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. It's also the first time weekly sales have fallen below four million in that time span.

Larger retailers and CDs, vestiges of an older record business, have been hit the hardest. Through August 24th, CD sales are down 19.2 percent year-over-year while sales at mass merchants and chains have fallen 23 percent and 25.6 percent, respectively.

I blame the internet.

But I can't stay mad at the internet because it's responsible for making Alizée known to me in the first place. :\
