John Sayers Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 LINK to story Figures show that we're buying albums in record numbers, despite the internet 'freeloaders', writes Steve Cannane. The Australian record industry has just had its best year ever. But it doesn't want you to know about it. This month ARIA announced its sales figures for last year. In its press release, it talked about Delta, it talked about falling CD singles sales, it talked about the rise in DVD sales, but at no stage did it tell us it was the industry's best year ever. Why bury the good news? cheers john Studio Design Forum Studios Under Construction Home Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt.Hepworth Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 John, you ought to edit the title to give a better idea of the topic as this, to me at least, is a big'en. BTW, your site is still down it seems? No matter how good something is, there will always be someone blasting away on a forum somewhere about how much they hate it.

Super 8 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Pretty incredible considering the additional expense of things like DVD's, X-Box/Playstation games, cell phones, and I hear satilite radio is picking up too. When you're done paying for all that....$20 for a CD just seems like over-kill. Super 8 Hear my stuff here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Hepworth Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 John, I just checked your site again and it seems it's back online, so it must be my mind that's been down!
