July 12, 200618 yr Author You've got to wonder though, WHY?! have singles sales dropped so much, even with downloads now (which has helped, if only a little), have people just stopped liking/buying music nowdays?!? or is it the music it's self?
July 12, 200618 yr ^^Illegal downloads obviously, less stores are stocking singles too But they're only stocking less because less are being sold It has to be illegal downloading though, but it's so easy to do! :lol: Also, don 't forget that you can watch videos anywhere nowadays from websites and music channels So even if you like a song then why buy it when you can put the video on your pc for free via youtube etc?
July 12, 200618 yr It's partly due to downloading, partly due to disinterest in singles, and the fact that people will buy an album with the artist and song on it for £8.99, rather than £3.99 for a three track single with the song and a few remixes on it.

They don't all cost £3.99 most singles are also released at £1.99 aswell, which is quite reasonable I think
