The most I've bought was 10 at Virgin Megastores closing down sale in Derby. 40% off everything!

I tend to buy albums the week they're released so I usually buy 1-2 every week.

I think it was about 8 or 9 (Amazon) to replace more poor quality downloads.

Who says downloads are killing music sales?

The most I've ever bought in one week is perhaps the Killing Joke back catalogue on CD sometime back in 1994 , can't remember how many CD's it was but as I was a student at the time I had to sell other CD's to get the money to buy the killing joke CDs...

I remember winning £200 at the bookies and came home with 14 CD's - don't think the wife was too impressed with me though!

Approximately 150.

I was burgled and had a lot of CDs stolen.

The insurance company offered to get the CDs or send vouchers for an equivalent value. I went for the vouchers.

HMV loved me that day.

I usually average 1-5 a week but I too was burgled and had to buy 200 in one pop, those bags were heavy!

Bar that, probably 12, 101cd had a sale and a few good new ones were out too.

It is a pain in arse but the then girlfriend didn't want to come along so I 'bought ' albums on her behalf.

Say bye bye to Take That, E17 and Boyzone and hello to Nick Cave, Jeff Buckley and the Insipral Carpets. Bands that she now loves.

It sounds weird but being burgled gives you the chance to get rid of the stuff you doidn't really want to buy and replace it with stuff you never got round to buying.

I haven't bought many in a week this year compared to previous years. I normally buy them in the first week of release, and I remember when the Zutons album was released earlier this year, there were a few other things I bought.

Other than that, when Fopp changes their prices a few years back, I bought a good chunk of David Bowie's back catalogue in one go!

once bought 4,000 in a day, but then again, I do own a recdord shop!

Seriously, I lost the interest 10+ years ago, I can listen to any of 10,000 CDs. I listen to radio as I can't choose!

well, back when i used to buy music, the most was prob 4-5.
Now I only buy music from new/struggling to make it artists...gotta show some support.

Now if you were to ask how many albums i've dl in one day, i couldn't tell you. i probably do an average of about 10-15 a day.

I don't like to buy albums in bulk, because I don't listen to them all properly. I make exceptions for sales, when I often buy four or five at a time, and I've probably bought that many 'normal' CDs in one go too, but these days I try to limit myself to two at a time.

I bought two today! I bought two on Monday as well. :yawn:

I once bought 300 including Cliff Richard(30 albums for my gran), Nows 1-19(not 13), catherine zeta jones(Worst song ever!!!), that mnnuminumina song, Adam Rickett, Meat Loaf, Cleopatra, Nicola from BB1(15p), Lou Bega(x2), Chuwumbawonba, Anita Dobson, tracy shaw, Claire sweeney, Ant and Dec,Tweet, Shampoo, lisa maffia(30p) and Martine McCutcheon from a closing down charity shop. The list goes on.

I only spent £30 that Day.

Please Don't judge me i sold them on ebay an carbootsales and made a profit of at least 10p on each cd including a fiver for a meat loaf album that cost me 50p
