CDs are cheaper than they used to be. I think we all knew that didn't we? But if you're the sort of person who needs hard stats about everything, well look no further than the TNS survey that appears in the new BPI Statistical Handbook, and which is reported on in Music Week this week. Said survey reveals that over 70% of albums bought in the UK last year were bought for less than a tenner, whereas in 2000 only 40% of albums were less than £10. The average price of an album last year was £8.63, whereas in 2000 it was £10.77. Bargain.
