USATODAY.com - Album sales down, but hard rock rebounds
by Brain21 at 11:22 am EDT, Jul 23, 2003

Hard Rock album sales increase 232%!!!

Hmm, but I thought that piracy was killing the music industry!!! (that's sarcasm). COuld it POSSIBLY be that the music that the labels are pushing and putting out one after the other and trying to shove down people's throats (via radio, MTV, etc.) is the music that people are getting sick of? Could THAT be part of the decline? No Way! I CAN'T BE the recording industries fault!

Country music is declining too. Why? Well the last 2 years were by far the biggest years ever for country music. The O Brother soundtrack was HUGELY successful, as were artists like Faith Hill, etc. What goes up, must come down. Shades of the dot com boom/bust...
