There was a while, maybe in the mid 2000s when CD sales were still decent but dropping fast, when new releases maxed out at $14.99 here (or a few dollars more if it was a deluxe edition) and were regularly $9.99. At some point they went up again. A new release will usually be $17.99 or 18.99 at the stores I get it from. Wal Mart CDs are cheaper but they donβt have a good selection of new releases where Iβm at. Most of what they have is from a year or more and covers maybe the last 20 years (+ older classics) of the bigger albums.

My local FYE keeps chopping their CD section. It used to be huge, now it's cut down probably half. They have a ton of random super cheap CDs that no one would ever buy. I mostly go to eBay or thrift stores for used CDs nowadays.

CDs are way too overpriced in 2021. They should be $8/β¬8 maximum. This! Sell them for cheaper and add perks in them (codes for downloadable content, points to get early access to concert tickets, change to win a meet and greet like a golden ticket). I donβt understand why the labels never tried to get creative instead of just letting cd sales diminish like they have. Taylor has spearheaded the bundles and website game but thereβs more than can be done to incentivize a fan to buy the physical album.

I haven't bought any CDs since 2018. I either shop at Amazon.com or Walmart.com for CDs.
