As someone works in music retail (HMV), I hope this doesn't happen as I won't be able to pay my rent, buy food and live.
It's all about the record companies. They HAVE to drop prices. When the Norah Jones CD was released, it went for $9.99 (US). The CD flew off the shelves. When the price was jacked up to $13.99 by the record companies, the sales went to sell at a snails pace.
