Every year, CD sales erode and erode. Digital is where it's at. The artists can eliminate the middle man and and not worry about having to score a big box store exclusive.

Complete albums may not have the download numbers on itunes but single track sales are through the roof, with a lot of the top singles having over 2 million downloads, which adds up eventually.

Talyor Swift has a couple of individual song downloads approaching 4 million if they're not there already.
