I don’t remember buying a CD in years. The last I brought was TBDT. You don’t get them anymore here and even if you do, they are expensive as hell. That's true, also singles wich I bought are way overpriced but I collect everything from Avril so I still wanna have it I do miss the CD covers!! I don’t see any CD stores in India now. I was in Oman last year and didn’t see one there either. Just checked Amazon store. The only CD available is her self titled one 😆

I remember in like 2009/2010 I wanted a Paramore CD so bad and it cost like $7. Then in 2017 when they released their new album it cost like $30. Maybe it's because of the economy or something but idk. I will still buy CDs if the album's really good/worth it.

Most CDs still cost around $7-$8 but I still find them expensive!!! Its like 500 bucks here, and you can buy a lot of things for that amount. I can't buy even if I wanted to, they are not available. We can find few CDs of top international artists but not much, people don't listen to English music. Even if they do, people don't buy CDs in India, they never did. They will never spend money on such things. Even Pop music died a slow death here. Movie songs are popular and they are to promote movies etc, so singers are not dependent on record sales. Plus these days music is all streamed online. No wonder T Series has biggest subscribers.

I was so shocked

I can't compare prices overseas but here in the US CDs can range from $10 to maybe $20, it depends on if it's a special edition or something. They're more expensive nowadays probably because of the cost to manufacture them. And I'm guessing to have it exported overseas, it will cost more to account for taxes/customs. I've sometimes seen Avril's Japanese imports available for sale and they're ridiculously expensive for that reason.
I buy physical CDs still from artists I really like or if they're offering a special or autographed edition. Some of the last CDs I bought were an autographed copy of Maddie Poppe's debut album, it was not given a proper physical distribution so you could only buy it from this one online shop. I recently bought Kelsea Ballerini's newest album from Target and deluxe edition #1 of Taylor's latest album, since there were 8 collectible editions only available on her website.

Today wasn't a very good day for me. So I went to a record store and managed to find some of my favorite albums: White Pony by Deftones, Petals For Armor by Hayley Williams, and the 10th anniversary edition of Slipknot's self-titled. Made today a little bit better.
