Why the Album isn't Dead Yet
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Critics have been ringing the death knell for the album format for years. Albums sold 5% less in 2006, whereas digital track sales were up 65%. But don't get too nostalgic yet. We question whether albums were ever blockbusters and see what really makes one. Also: Sicilian tenor Salvatore Licitra joins us to talk about doing double duty at the Met. And finally: your donations, as WNYC's fundraiser gets underway.
