What was the last CD…

Posted on 07. Jun, 2009 by loswhit in Music

When was the last time you walked into an actual brick and mortar (Borders, Family Bookstores, ect.)store to buy a CD?
And what was the CD?

    5 years ago when Mat Kearny dropped his first major album

    Last October went into a Parable store to buy the Casting Crowns Christmas CD. Before that was technically "Canvas and Tentpole:" booth run by another Parable store at a Christian music festival. Bought Third Day's Revelation (saw them later that evening). Of course the Casting Crowns was the last CD I bought, though I've bought a few full album MP3 downloads since then.

    I went to Meijer on my birthday (Feb. 17) to buy the new record from the Fray. Before that… would have to be last summer.

    Wal-Mart to get the new Dierks Bentley a couple months ago. So many good things are happening in that last sentence. =)

  7. mattbortmess 8 June 2009 at 5:10 am #

    just bought Mat Kearney's newest cd at Best Buy. It was only $7.98… I still love to get the liner notes…

    About two weeks ago, I bought the new Hillsong United, at Best Buy.

    Wow, Your mother has not been to a store to buy a CD. I can't remember the last time. Love you Babe

  10. Crystal Renaud 8 June 2009 at 5:12 am #

    Honestly? I can't even remember. That makes me a little sad. I've recently bought a DVD though… Slumdog Millionaire at Blockbuster. It was previously viewed. So… that makes me a little old school, right?

  11. Andrea_Phifer 8 June 2009 at 5:16 am #

    Do the Kids Bop 2009 CDs that came in the McDonald's Happy Meals count? If not, then I don't know if I could remember what it was…..Casting Crowns – maybe?

  12. ryan guard 8 June 2009 at 5:18 am #

    I have absolutely no idea… it has been at least 3 years. It was probably a CD by Greeley Estates because I was at their show in the store.

  13. Dustin 8 June 2009 at 5:19 am #

    Pretty sure it was about four years ago, I bought Green Day's "International Superhits", what can I say? I was in high school…

  14. Jayfred 8 June 2009 at 5:19 am #

    Kirk Franklin at Mardel about a year ago. Before that was probably David Phelps CDs at his concert…does that count?

  15. Adrienne 8 June 2009 at 5:22 am #

    I think it was "Home" by the Dixie Chicks. I don't know where I bought it. Maybe Walmart. That would have to have been before they "fell"; I mean, did Walmart even keep carrying the Chicks after that?? I do know that when their next album came out, I got it off Rhapsody, not in a store. Not even sure I purchased it – just listened to it.

  16. jawright 8 June 2009 at 5:58 am #

    a few months ago, bought TMBG's "Here Come the 123's" for my son.
    we've nearly memorized it back-and-forth from day care.

  17. steph 8 June 2009 at 6:07 am #

    bought starfield's beauty in the broken, the first jenny lewis solo album, sufjan stevens' illinoise and edgar meyer & chris thile a couple months ago at borders. all 50% off. but yeah, mostly from amazon.com now!

  18. barnettblend 8 June 2009 at 6:15 am #

    Last year at a Wal Mart to buy a Michael Jackson greatest hits CD for Paul… I know, right?

  19. Robert 8 June 2009 at 6:20 am #

    Was in Borders about a month ago and they were reducing inventory – CDs marked at 40% off list or more. Bought Hillsong United – United We Stand DVD/CD combo for like 9 bucks….

    Last visit to a "real" record store? Amoeba about 3 years ago…

  20. JakeSchwein 8 June 2009 at 6:35 am #

    I think it was Coldplay's X&Y. i wanted the packaging or else I wouldn't have bought it there. The only reason i will buy a CD at a "brick and mortar" store is for the packaging.

  21. josh 8 June 2009 at 6:38 am #

    It was just over a year ago at Best Buy and found the only copy they had of Brooke Fraser's "Albertine."

  22. anna 8 June 2009 at 8:36 am #

    Can´t remember…. so it´s probably more that 5 years ago

  23. Molly Moore 8 June 2009 at 9:05 am #

    Either the newest Taylor Swift or the newest Hannah Montanta… because my daughter was with me, and it was one of those impulse purchases.

  24. Pastor_T 8 June 2009 at 9:59 am #

    I've ordered many online, but I'm pretty sure I have never "walked into a store" and bought one.

  25. David 8 June 2009 at 10:19 am #

    Last physical CD I bought was Hillsong's Saviour King in July 2007, but it wasn't at a store…it was at Hillsong conference.

    Last CD I remember buying a store actually in New York – Aqualung's "Memory Man"

  26. bill (cycleguy) 8 June 2009 at 10:22 am #

    The last one bought in a store was Fee. That was in December '08.

  27. bill (cycleguy) 8 June 2009 at 10:24 am #

    Sorry…a Christian bookstore

  28. Brad 8 June 2009 at 10:26 am #

    Just last week. I bought the new Dave Matthews Band CD/DVD at Best Buy.

  29. davemiers 8 June 2009 at 10:30 am #

    miles davis – kind of blue
    gift for my dad's birthday – only 2 weeks ago.
    arguably the greatest jazz album of all time

  30. Connor 8 June 2009 at 11:18 am #

    I think is was January of this year, it was Bruce Springsteen – 'Working on a Dream'

  31. Scott 8 June 2009 at 11:51 am #

    The last CD I bought at a store was Chris Tomlin's Hello Love in September of 2008. We pre-ordered at one of the Christian bookstores and got a credit with purchase… paid like $5 for it when it first came out. The last time that I intentionally drove to get a CD was Northpoint Live: Louder Than Creation. I drove to Northpoint on my lunch break to get it. That was December of 2007.

    I would like to drive to Northpoint again to pick up the new Todd Fields, but have $84 credit on iTunes that I want to use up.

  32. Tyler 8 June 2009 at 12:05 pm #

    Jim Gaffigan's new album. He is a comic genius.

  33. certaintx 8 June 2009 at 12:44 pm #

    Yesterday at :connections to buy Todd Fields new CD

  34. Whitney Meade 8 June 2009 at 12:45 pm #

    Last fall when Kings of Leon's "Only by the Night" was released. I think we bought Viva la Vida on the same trip.

  35. Terry Foester 8 June 2009 at 12:59 pm #

    I went to Best Buy in desperation last week before I went to see Hillsong United in Ocean Grove New Jersey, to buy their new album. But they didn't have the goods…

  36. Jay 8 June 2009 at 1:10 pm #

    I didn't go to Wal-Mart with the express purpose of buying a CD, but about 3 mos ago I did purchase 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection – The Best Of Marvin Gaye, Vol.2 The 70's because it was only $6.

  37. Bill 8 June 2009 at 1:25 pm #

    Last week – the new Gomez cd, vinyl – this past weekend Radiohead The Bends

  38. Elizabeth 8 June 2009 at 1:32 pm #

  39. michael 8 June 2009 at 1:36 pm #

    Went and bought "Working on a Dream' by Springsteen along with Greatest Hits -The Allman Brothers – this was in January.

  40. Chris from Canada 8 June 2009 at 1:42 pm #

    The answer to your REAL question?? No, Integrity shouldn't pay to produce a physical CD for your project :)

  41. Rob Shepherd 8 June 2009 at 2:19 pm #

    Mat Kearney will be the next CD I buy. I walked in to buy it but the store was sold out. Boo I say. Boo.

  42. Tony Staires 8 June 2009 at 3:05 pm #

    Hillsong "Saviour King" @ Lifeway store in Gulfport, MS

  43. klreed189 8 June 2009 at 3:43 pm #

    The last "real" cd I bought was Hillsong United's "United We Stand"
    I went to wal-mart to get it.
    the reason I bought the CD was because I wanted the DVD with it as well, but good ol wal mart did
    not have that combination. Needless to say I was disappointed and have not stepped foot in that place again (not really, just haven't bought a CD in there since)

  44. ChrisJohnson 8 June 2009 at 3:49 pm #

    HILLSONG : Tear Down the Walls… Bought it directly at the concert in Orlando, not at a "store"
    To be honest I think the last CD I walked into a music store to buy would have to be "Daughtry" by Chris Daughtry from Wal-Mart about 9 months ago. And before that? couldn't tell you. I buy all my music on itunes pretty much. :)

  45. Jennifer V. 8 June 2009 at 4:04 pm #

    Hillsong United "This is our God". I still like to buy CD's to look at album art (on cover & inside)but downloading off itunes usually always wins.

  46. Brian Miller 8 June 2009 at 4:21 pm #

    2 weeks ago. Hillsong United.

  47. Keith Barger 8 June 2009 at 5:03 pm #

    It's been 4 or 5 years, i think. It was Wal Mart for DMB Under the Table and Dreaming.

    Before that one, I haven't got a clue.

  48. Zack 8 June 2009 at 5:52 pm #

    Bought Sojourn's "Isaac Watts Project" at the Advance 09 conference this weekend.

  62. Michelle 9 June 2009 at 2:35 am #

    Last week my 13 year old wanted an All American Rejects CD- he likes the "old school" of having the CD and the jacket. Plus he seems to have a knack for killing ipods.
    For myself: in jan 2009, I bought a Thrid Day CD- at a Christian Book store!

  63. vagabondrunn 9 June 2009 at 3:34 am #

    Actually before the latest Hillsong United album, I have NO clue. However, since you're asking, it was just that, the latest United album a_CROSS//the_EARTH.

    Listen and read a Review for each song here: http://vagabondrun.com

    (sorry, I had to give props to my blog a bit here…it seemed to fit)

  64. Renee Garcia 9 June 2009 at 5:15 am #

    Do they still make those?

  65. Ryan 9 June 2009 at 6:18 am #

    well, i bought my wife the taylor swift CD for Mother's Day, but before that it was sometime last year, and it was the Mudcrutch album… no, wait, it was Ryan Adams and the Cardinals' "cardinology."

  66. chadking 9 June 2009 at 12:44 pm #

    yesterday. Joe Bonamassa "The Ballad of John Henry" only because it wasn't on iTunes

  67. Agnes 9 June 2009 at 4:32 pm #
