Looks like Gosiaa was right….kinda..! Interesting Soundscan numbers this week makes us think that young people don’t buy albums…right?
1. Susan Boyle 700,779
2. Andrea Bocelli 217,569 (up 17% from last week)
3. Adam Lambert 198,466
4. Rihanna 180,890
5. Lady Gaga 173,515
Susan Boyle is getting the last laugh straight to the bank….what was the last CD you actually went inside of a store and purchased???
{ 2 trackbacks }
{ 46 comments… read them below or add one }
(2) BP3 albums. One for me, one for my brother.
MJB – Growing Pains
Nas hip hop is dead.
but i got every other album from Ares Galaxy
now, i have an app on my android phone called i music that downloads songs for free!!
rappers better do shows cause its no money in record sales!
I have a huge collection of CD’s, I listen to a few tracks off an album, if it’s good I’ll go n kop that but if there only a few good ones and the rest filler then I’ll just keep the good ones.
I was one of the 180,890 people that purchased Rated R on the release date.
808s & Heartbreak!
I COPPED THE BP3 AND THE RECESSION WHEN IT CAME OUT I ACTUALLY BUY THE ARTIST ALBUM AND I DONT SKIP THE TRACKS I LISTEN TO THE WHOLE JOINT YA SHOULD TRY THAT !!
last CD i went and bought was the Maxwell’s recent CD…before that, i don’t even remember
I download A LOT! Its because of my financial situation, the EASY accessibility to get ANY album by a few clicks and my love for music all rolled into one. I know its so wrong but its a drug and I as well as other people cannot not stop! I been “bootleggin’” music since dubbing tapes in the 80’s. Its basically the same as downloading just on a broader scale. Hey I didn’t invent the mp3, and disc burning. Music aficionados did! Still that is no excuse right?
The last album I purchased was Foreign Exchange-Leave It All Behind…and it wasn’t even for me!
umm Mr. Hudson. “Straight No Chaser” I also bought a few 50 songs off iTunes.
See so alotta people still do buy them go Susan 700k wow thats amazing ! Make great music and hits and people will support !!!
I bought Eminem Relapse and BP3 last..
I buy cd’s all the time..last one was Beyonce’s CD/DVD last Tuesday
last album i ever bought was JOE BUDDEN”S DEBUT…
you can blame him for me not ever buying cds after that..

bp3 and battle studies
lil wayne “the cater 3″ since then its been straight boot legs only because its FREE why not download it.
BP3 BABY
ermm i think I nought OB4CL II last..and I went purpose journey to get ghost Whodini but they didn’t have it
I know, right? So sad, we really don’t with the technology and opp to just download and rip music these days. I think the last album I remember purchasing IN a store, was…. (drum roll PALEASE) Brooklyn’s Don Diva. LOL Sad, but true.
I only support those who I really fux with though. sURh LOL
N.E.R.D. – Seeing Sounds…
back alley internet transactions is the way to go for music.
We need to buy more CD’s.. They are novles.. The booklets inside and the actually songs tell a whole story.. This isnt true for Adam Lambert but Mos Def does it Jay does it.. They tell stories.. The shins, Monsters of Folk, John Mayer, BlakRoc, The Black keys… Start buying CD’s and real music pleasee!!! NOT Susan Boyle!!!
no.
lmao
trey songz ormaxwell
The most recent album’s I’ve purchased in stores are:
Ghostdini “Wizard of Poetry” (I purchased it directly from Ghost at his show in the SF Bay Area…got him 2 sign it as well so technically I didn’t buy it in store but regardless it wasn’t bootlegged or burned)
Ryan Leslie “Transition” (awesome album; copped it the day it dropped)
Rae “Only Built 4 Cuban Links Pt. 2″ (dope album; copped it the day it dropped as well)
Clyde Carson “Bass Rock” (Oakland/Bay Area rapper)
Em “Relapse”
That’s all I can think of.
808s and Heartbreak!
Hell, ciara evolution? or cam’ron killa season. SMH. i know.

Man, ya’ll need to support your artist. I used to burn cds for a good while but since stopped. Plus I hated the poor quality and tagged up songs.
The last CDs i bought were
Brother Ali-Us
Flaming Lips-Embryotic
Royce Da 5′9- Street Hop
Oh No- Ethiopium
Michael Jackson ” This Is It” and before that it was The Black Album…LOL
808 after that i re-bought the miseducation of lauryn hill.
I’ve lost my miseducation cd :°(
the last cd I bought b’day which was crap (sasha fierce is better)
the worst is that I had to download the whole album because I couldn’t put any track from the cd on my ipod…
YES! i didnt think it would actually happen but happy that rihanna beat her ;] surprised that lambert beat both of them 0.o
i love cds, few downloaded files will never be the same as an actual album with the booklet and everything!
last cd i bought is The Script’s debut self-titled album and i’m loving every part of it! it is sooo good. check em out!
and im getting my rated r tomorrow! kinda late, but oh well. (these are the US sales only, right? so still wouldnt count;])
i buy cds for artists i truly love and support.
last cds include: rated r, fame monster, memoirs of an imperfect angel, relapse
Last albums I bought were Maxwell and John Mayer’s new CDs.
I still buy CD because I like to get the album art and for security, if my computer crashes, I won’t have to worry about my music being gone.
Rihanna’s Rated R. Straight fire.
Michael Buble “Crazy Love”. Spent 2 weeks at number 1! Go Buble!
Lupe Fiasco – The Cool, was the last CD i bought.
