Report: Best Buy to stop selling CDs amid drop in sales

NEW YORK (WABC) -- It's the end of an era as Best Buy is phasing out CDs.

According to a report from Billboard, the chain has pulled compact discs from its shelves nationwide.

Best Buy saw a more than 18-percent drop in CD sales last year amid the rise in online music streaming.

However, the electronics giant will continue to sell vinyl records for the next two years.
