Kids these days spend all day on youtube watching music videos and listening to leaked album songs. They use limewire to illegally download music. The problem with the HSM3 soundtrack is that it got so popular that so many people got their illegal copies. Another thing that affected sales were the ticket prices. The movie was only released to theaters (unlike the first 2 which were broadcast on disney channel). The ticket prices are pretty high about $6-8.

There may well be a set of kids a bit younger who will latch onto the new film, but perhaps they’re _too_ young to be buying the songs online.

Either way, I’m assuming HSM (and Hannah Montana) mania has peaked.
