Music: People don’t buy physical CD singles in the U.K. anymore

  • 3,809 midweek physical single sales for JLS’ “Beat Again” – the only single on the U.K. charts to sell more than 500 copies. In other words, the CD is dead dead dead.
  • 64 number of copies the No. 16 single, Florence And The Machine’s “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up),” sold. Just 64 copies? We’re making a single, guys! source

Music: The Beatles, remastered; updated albums out in September

  • The date? Zero-9-zero-9-zero-9. Apple Records will mass-re-release the Beatles’ albums in a digitally-remastered format, along with two box sets – one in stereo and one in mono (for nerds and purists). The sets will come with DVD documentaries on the making of each album. Also on that day, the “Rock Band” Beatles game comes out, so it’s a good day to be into the Beatles. Regarding the elephant in the room, no word on digital release of the albums yet. source
