Album Sales Down for Second Straight Year

In more bad news for the music industry, album sales declined for the second straight year in 2002, down 10.7 percent from the previous year.

Nielsen SoundScan reported this week that 2002 album sales fell from 763 million in 2001 to 681 million. Overall music sales in 2001 had been down 5 percent — the first decline since SoundScan began tracking music sales in 1991.
