Record sales are going to keep dropping with pirating where it is at. People only buy albums if they like having a collection, want to support an up and coming artist, or are dedicated to supporting a favorite artist of theirs. Thats it....And that probably only covers a third of the people that will actually have the cd in their possession at one point or another. Meaning....even though Eminem sold a million records in a week or 2. There were probably 3-4 million people that actually had the cd. Or more.
Record sales will stay the same or keep dropping because the more these 5-10 year old kids learn how to use computers and the internet, the more 15-25 year old kids we'll have downloading music instead of buying it in 10 years from now.....
Its been steadily getting worse as the years go buy, and pretty soon, there won be adults who dont know how to use computers. We're gunna have people ranging from 7 - 57 years old that all know how to use computers and smart phones well and less and less people are going to jump in their car, drive however far to the closest store, use up gas and spend 10-20 bucks on an album when they can just go to thepiratebay.com and have the cd in 5 minutes.
So little bitches like Tpain who dont want to release their album because they want that extra 10 million or whatever the fuck should just be thankful they are even making that much money and release the fuckin music.
Tpain needs to start focusing on keeping his career alive rather than how much money he'll make on an album. Pretty soon, even if the market IS good, you still wont be sellin any albums cuz everyone thinks your washed up. Sucka
