For decades, the album was the primary form in which music was delivered to the masses. But ever since Apple introduced iTunes back in 2001, the album has been on the decline. When online piracy ravaged the music industry, music revenues went from $14.7 billion in 1999 to $7.7 billion in 2009, according to the RIAA. While the $0.99 single kept some money flowing into the industry, it changed the way we experienced music. Singles are cheaper to buy and quicker to make than a full album, and that shifted the mindset of labels and artists toward focusing on making more radio-friendly songs instead of focusing on complete albums. But now we’re in the middle of another shift — digital music sales declined 13 percent in 2014 while streaming services (which pay artists less) became the go-to method for listening to music. And surprisingly, with that change, the album is making a comeback. - DB, Lil LB's Dad
