It’s no secret that the music industry is suffering from poor album sales. In fact, this week’s Billboard chart shows a sign of the times. Two artists, LL Cool J and Kardinal Offishall, both released albums that debuted with less than 50,000 copies. LL Cool J’s last album, 2006′s Todd Smith, sold 116,000 its first week. His latest, Exit 13, moved 44,000 copies. Kardinal Offishall’s album Not 4 Sale had a top 5 hit with “Dangerous” and still only pushed 12,000 units.

The days of physical album sales are quickly fading. How long will it be until we see the complete extinction of CDs?

Kardinal Offishall was on tour in Spain recently. Check out this video of him enjoying some dinner and entertainment with the Pussycat Dolls and race car driver Lewis Hamilton.

Watch him perform “Tide is High” in front of 200,000 people in Málaga, Spain below.
