That's not true. Mp3 players have become the fever, a lot of people are just buying the tracks in mp3, separate, one of the reasons Utada Hikaru's sales have been so low. Plus the whole market of CD has kinda of been severely cut, maybe people don't care for carrying huge CDs onto their shelves anymore so they'd rather fill their compact players with the music they want to listen to. Albums like Mika's BEST and Koda kumi Best ~first things~ have been pretty low on sales since they're actually BEST albums, they would surely have sold way a lot more a few years ago (Koda has been pretty strong at the moment). ayu even manage to reach the weekly top of the global charts, shows how much physical CD items have been actually dropping in number of sales throughout the world.
