In response to Taylor Swift's new article for The Wall Street Journal, an online music enthusiast had this to say:
Quote:

Swift’s next release may be for all intents and purposes her last blockbuster release. If not because of her age—which she has already confided in us she sees as a concern—then because in 2 1/2 years from now, the likelihood anybody will be buying anyone’s albums is greatly diminished in the face of streaming. Swift knows this might be her last big shot, and she may be sitting on one of the most costly albums to make in the history of music, and one of the last great blockbuster albums released and accepted in physical form.

So, with the decline of the industry and album sales, and the rise of streaming services, will Q4 2014-Q1 2015 really be the end of power in the music industry?
