Music albums - where are they now?

It’s been a long time since I have come across the music videos like the old days of early 2000’s. Most of the songs were crap, but there were few lovely numbers from Falguni Pathak, Silk route, and Euphoria. The gems like Bally Sagoo, Biddu, Anaida, etc. seem to have been lost in time.

Yes, times change and so do we. But songs are songs, and we can listen to good songs be it in movies or albums – so why the silent death for the albums? I was trying to contemplate the reasons of their decline!

Too many movies – too many songs – who wants to listen to the music albums?
The company making these videos making losses – Overall music videos making losses. Who buys music now a days? Piracy rules!

Eventually all boils down to the economics and people making money from the venture. If demand outstrips supply, the album makers will make money and vice versa. Though that is the case I long for Yesterday Once More!
