The Song Doesn't Remain The Same

From Peter Lauria, New York Post:
Just like 2006, the best-selling album of 2007 likely won't come from a major record label act - and, even more depressing for the music industry, for the third year in a row the final sales total will likely be down more than a million units.

The soundtrack to Disney's "High School Musical 2" this week moved past SonyBMG's "Daughtry" to become the year's top-seller with 2.3 million copies sold, SoundScan reported.

Indeed, while the original "HSM" soundtrack held the dubious distinction of being the first best-selling album of the year to fall short of the 4-million copy mark, its sequel could very well be the first year-end chart topper not to reach 3 million copies sold.
