Death of the Album?

that's actually a statistic the recording instustry has been foisting on us: that MP3s are killing single sales when, as you pointed out, the ridiculous price of singles themselves are what killed off the single market and single sales have NEVER been good, they've merely been a medium to sell the albums.
The only place in the world I know of where the single market was actually "good" was Japan, and that market has been on the decline since the early '90's, once again having nothing to do with MP3's.
