Album sales are revolting period. This list is depressing.
I agree. Album sales have been free-falling (barring the UK, Australia and Japan and Germany to an extent) since the beginning of the digital era in 2005.

2011
Albums that sold over 4 million : 4
Albums that sold over 2 million : 13

2005
Albums that sold over 4 million : 10
Albums that sold over 2 million : 27

Jesus. Any predictions for what 2016 - 5 years from now - will be like?  
I think album sales will eventually stagnate and go up some (this year and last year there hasn't been much of a decrease), but I don't know if we'll ever see 2.5 BILLION albums being bought worldwide in a year like 1989-2004 (from 1994-2001 over 3 billion were bought). Even in 2005, 2.3 billion albums were bought worldwide, we're around 1.2 billion now (the lowest since since 1978). smiley: sick
