Maybe The Mad Dog was right.......

The article is referring to physical copies.  Not downloads.  (or pandora/spotify plays)  

 

Almost no one buys physical copies anymore.  This is an industry-wide issue. Not only pop music.  Physical sales are down across the board in every genre, style, period, whatever.

 

It sucks for musicians because so many people use pandora or spotify or a similar digital service and they get away with paying a fraction of what they should in terms of royalties.  

 

Example:  A good friend co-wrote a song on an Amy Winehouse record. His quarterly check from downloads is still several hundred dollars.  His check recently from pandora?   $9.72
 

Anymore, it seems that musicians bread and butter is playing live.  There's no way for anybody to download that experience.  It's like you do an album in hopes of attracting people to see you live.
