Erm, ~1 billion CDs are sold yearly, it is going to take awhile for that to go away.
I say a billion because all mainstream american cds sell 1 million+ records (platinum). I am estimating throughout the world, from that figure, that CD sales are well over 1 billion. Assuming $15/CD that is $15 000 000 000 of gross sales.
But MP3's are on the rise, and they will probably overtake CDs at some point in the future (or a different encoding platform?)
