NEW YORK (Reuters) - The debut solo album by urban boy-band B2K frontman Omarion just debuted on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart at Number 1.
No surprise there, but what was notable was that about 30 percent of the 182,383 copies sold in its first week were in the new DualDisc double-sided format, according to Nielsen SoundScan, which calculates sales.
For a generation raised on compact discs, the "B-side" really had no meaning, it was like the dark side of the moon. Suggest playing the flip side of a record and teens might just stare blankly at the idea that you could turn over a disc.
