There is a major change in the Music industry going on and as the singer Bob Dylan says, Times are a changing.
Quote:
Hello people over 30. You had record collections, tapes, CDs. Then you downloaded music into your computers or devices. Well, guess what? Kids today don’t want any of that. They’re happy to pay an annual fee and “stream” it all. They are not buying CD or downloading anything. What the heck am I supposed to do with twenty boxes of 45s and a room full of CDs????
According to Nielsen, during the first six months of 2014, sales of all albums both physical and digital were down 14.9%. And sales just of digital downloads (from iTunes mostly) were down 11.6%.
But dig this: sales of CDs were down 19.6%.
What was up? Streaming jumped 50%. And sales of vinyl LPs were up 40%.

Her older fans who are 40 and over, may make her uneasy because she doesn't understand the fascination they have with her, are the same ones that are physically ordering and buying her Cd's.
