I hope Hypebot makes a note:
-Neyo (high sales, no digital)
– Gnarls Barkley’s (has a hit single, WITHOUT selling a single physical CD.)
I bet the record company and big media will NEVER report the second fact. The CD collapsing sale really scare them. The major labels are not fully prepared. And the collapse is accelerating. Look at the sale figure. (sans BS like Ringtone, or DVD)
CD sale is imploding rather nicely.
