No one really buys records anymore. You can look at sales and do that math real quick. Unfortunately, it's fast food in the music industry. People don't ingest full records anymore.

Tommy Lee

When no one's buying your records, it's easy to justify selling a song. But once you start selling records, you can't really justify having two songs in Cadillac commercials. It looks greedy. And it is greedy. This whole music thing should be about music.

Patrick Carney

I'm always happy when I hear about people selling records or selling books or selling movies. It makes me proud of them.

Ian MacKaye

For us, selling a million records in 2005 is the equivalent of selling 2 to 3 million records (five years ago). Rock records aren't flying off the shelves like they used to. Hip-hop and pop are so huge. (But) everything's on the upswing for us.

Jacoby Shaddix

Selling a million records used to be a big deal. I guess it's not anymore.

Dusty Hill

When I started playing music, people weren't selling 5 million records. That was not the standard; that was not the focus.

Prince

I think it's OK if somebody likes my music and likes Sam Hunt's music, too. And I think if we're both selling records, it's good for everybody. I think it allows other records to get made.

Chris Stapleton

I want people to feel what it was like in the '40s. That's when popular music in the United States was so beautiful. Frank Sinatra, the Pied Pipers, Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Tommy Dorsey, Billie Holiday. That's when popular music had deeper values, to me. This was music that was selling millions of records.

Charlie Haden

No one's playing records anymore, so find your favorite and frame it, then get rid of the rest - try selling or donating them.

Niecy Nash

Luckily almost no one buys music anymore, so selling music doesn't really affect any of my professional decisions.

Moby

If people really like your music but you're not selling so many records, I don't think it really matters.

Nina Nesbitt

My dad would play me all of these records: Miles Davis records, John Coltrane records, Bill Evans records, a lot of jazz records. My first exposure to music was listening to jazz records.

Eldar Djangirov

I'm selling my soul to Hollywood Records. I love you like a love song baby, a sinful, miracle, lyrical. He ate my soul. He's Lucifer. I'm torn I'm selling my soul to the rhythm because I'm become so possessed with the music he plays. I chose a path and I'm not looking back.

Selena Gomez

Music is so hard. It's a struggle to get people to care. It's hard to make an impact in today's world because people aren't buying records anymore.

Juliana Hatfield

And once the music is out there, when you're selling a record and selling music and people are going to do whatever they want with it, it's kind of hard to resist certain opportunities, especially in the record market now.

Patrick Carney

No one sells records anymore. It's all about touring. It's all greatest hits records and box sets. And even those don't sell. People just go online.
