Hate to be the bearer of good news, this being an election year and all;
From the AP;
". Overall U.S. music sales - CDs, legal downloads, DVDs, etc. - rose
9.1 percent in the first three months of the year over the same period
in 2003, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Album sales were up 9.2
percent. Sales of CDs, which represent 96 percent of album sales, rose
10.6 percent. For the first time since 2000, two recording artists -
Norah Jones and Usher - managed to sell more than 1 million copies of
their albums in a single week."
