ADVISORY/Experts Available to Discuss State of Music Industry.Business Editors ADVISORY... --(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2002 TOPIC: Experts in a story by MSNBC say that this week's $28 million split between singer Mariah Carey and EMI's Virgin Records may be an indicator that the music industry is in a decline. Industry trackers say that for the first time in a decade last year's album sales fell - -coming in at 763 million, a 3 percent decrease from the previous year's sales. The number one album in 2001, "Hybrid Theory" by Linkin Park, sold fewer than 5 million copies, the story said. Experts in the story attribute any decline to a lack of "big hits" from trend artists, as well as a weak economy and piracy.
