You know what BTS has done? Uh no. They've actually risen CD sales. Oh, really? Yes. They are ironically up 10%. And this is all of K-pop has done this. I don't know why, but they want, they want to listen to CDs. Which I think is.

SPEAKER_01 0:16

This is the artwork on the CDs.

SPEAKER_00 0:18

Oh, that might be part of it.

SPEAKER_01 0:20

That might be part of it, like their pictures and stuff on it.

SPEAKER_00 0:22

Oh, yeah. We used to back in the day with I would be in my bedroom and I would open up the books and I would like to study all the lyrics and see all the artwork.

SPEAKER_01 0:30

Yeah, but albums, okay, so years ago it was vinyl album covers that, well, your dad has a couple. He has a couple on display from the Beatles, you know? And that was the big thing. Then uh when vinyl first went away, which I get it, it's back now. But when it first went away and we transitioned our way into CDs, some of them, you know, you could really do a lot with like images and stuff on it. I'm wondering if that's what it is. More the imagery than the music on it.

SPEAKER_00 0:57

Or also that they're super easy to play, not that streaming isn't, but super easy to play. So Zach has been cleaning his apartment and he found the CD that he wanted me to listen to, and he asked me, Do you have a CD player in your car? I don't know. I think you do. I do. I had to look. I don't. I couldn't remember. Oh, you don't have one at all?

SPEAKER_01 1:17

No, not at all. Well, that's gonna be Neither does Tiffany. She's got a brand new uh Durango and it doesn't have it.

SPEAKER_00 1:22

Well, that's gonna suck then if they start selling more CDs. Nah, I think it's the artwork. Then what are you gonna do? Get an old CD Discman?

SPEAKER_01 1:28

You you might, but I think most of I bet you more of it is for having like an image. Uh-huh. Okay, if you've ever been on not everybody has these, but like a display case that would have CDs in it. We used to get these from record labels all the time. Like, uh oh, thanks for playing pink 7,000 times, and they'd send us like this display. I have actually one hanging in my office. Um, that I don't think they do it really much anymore. Probably not. But it's got the I think it's the image the what they can put on them. It's like the artwork they put on them.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

Uh-huh. Uh, what was your first CD? My friend Ashley told me the other day Nellie was her first CD. Get out! I swear to you. So she's so excited for this show. Yeah. Because she knows every single word to every single song. And we have another pair of GA tickets to give you. What was your first CD? Text us in. And then, because I know mine. My I sang mine to Zach the other day. Remember All for One, I Swear.
