I have bought a CD in HMV this year!

That said, it was something in the charts that was getting a lot of hype, so I expected them to stock it.

I was about to say that I bought a big pile of CDs from Fopp as well, but that was last year. Everything else has been online.

Also, if you're buying chart type stuff physically, you're best off buying from a supermarket most of the time. Something mainstream (or within the non-mainstream genres that HMV stocks) but not in the chart - Amazon will be usually be cheaper. Something obscure? Buy from an online store that handles that sort of thing.

Think I bought a couple of two for £10 CDs in April. However even there checked online beforehand. HMV are just expensive and have a poor selection compared to Amazon etc.
