Another article re CD sales

Yet, another interesting article re the decline of CD sales and popularity of downloading singles. The article raises an interesting parallel that I had not really considered, i.e. that artists/record companies are returning to the single as the primary medium for sales, such as in the 50's/60's when artists primary sold 45's with an A & B side as opposed to full length albums. I suppose its true that history does repeat itself.

John Lennon once commented that he preferred collecting singles over albums. He found albums a bit boring.

If you don't have a lot of money, singles are a more efficient way to buy wnat you want without having to take what you don't want. When I was young way back when, I used to love those old K-Tel albums...a whole album full of hit songs for the price of just one album. I still have a couple of them lying around in a dusty corner somewhere.
