Digital is killing the industry. The music industry needs to get out of bed with iTunes, YouTube, Spotify and all that nonsense and *force* consumers back into record stores. They also need to pull the focus off of selling silly ass singles and put it back on moving physical albums. Take music off of computers and put it back on stereos.

I just re-bought Kate Bush albums on CD form I am doing my part!!! I agree with you but I could not see what labels could to do get people to buy physical product again.

Well, this is why the market for catalog selling albums is now bigger than the market for current albums.

Quality counts.
Yesss! I agree!
And also they were all pretty cheap (Around £5 each).
Also if the booklets that come with the CDs are beautiful (that's if they even come with booklets), I may make a COMPLETE switch from iTunes to CDs for the first time ever in my life, because I buy albums not singles from iTunes for some stupid reason.
The fact that Adele managed to sell 10.4 million copies of 21 in this (USA) sales climate is
If iTunes and Amazon would make purchasing the album tracks separately unavailable, the overall album sales would recover a bit.
I totally agree. I have no idea why record labels are allowing consumers to go to iTunes and cherry pick artists tracklistings. Just stupid. You should only be allowed to either buy the whole album, or the released singles. No one should be able to buy random album tracks. The industry is being a little too complaint and I don't see how it's helping anything. It's time to start enacting sanctions when it comes to this digital crap.

No that does not work. People will just pirate it. Labels did that before and it made things worse.
because of the overshipments Record labels used to do in the 90s.
