- Best Buy experienced an 18.5% decrease in sales of CD's last year
- Stops selling CD's at the top of this month
- Will carry vinyl records due to resurgence, and sell bundles along with turntables
- According to Billboard, Target wanted to sign consignment agreements with music labels, where the label has to pay for unsold inventory. One major label turned the idea down while another two have not decided.
An end of an era. What was your last physical CD purchase?
