Death of the album
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Death of the album is a phrase used to describe the perceived decline of a traditional album in the 21st century, sometimes attributed to internet sharing and downloading,[1][2] and the changing expectations of music listeners.[3]
Album sales more than halved from 1999 to 2009, declining from a $14.6 to $6.3 billion industry.[4]
As opposed to releasing an album, some bands have begun releasing a series of singles[5] or EPs as a way to combat the "average person's short attention span."[6]
