I know this type of success and longevity is hard for you to process because you seem dumb, but I don't think she needs an exclusive obsessive fan club, people simply like her and her music, deal with it.

I'll never understand how sales work or why they decline, especially since every year the population grows more and more. Especially especially since there's currently around 1 billion more people in the world population now than there were in 1998.

one word: Internet (or downloading)

That's right. Higher speed Internet and the file sizes of audio make it easier to download music, legally or not, than buying CDs... (although I do buy CDs for a few of my favorite artists just because I want the complete package, including the printed lyrics insert)

[maddy1111]

I don´t care about the printed lyrics that much, but I also still buy CDs for a few of my favourite artists (Namie Amuro, Joey Yung etc.), just because I want to have the whole collection
However, CDs will definitely not survive much longer (max. next 10 years). The current generation of listeners is just not used to buy CDs. Moreover, they usually do not own a CD player at home.
So I think that legal downloading (via iTunes and similar services) is the only was how this business may survive. They just need to promote the legal downloading in a right way ...
