HMV sadly remains as the last major music retailer, but for how long... its demise seems inevitable - this is unless a buyer steps in as it stands HMV are in adminstration. The idea of shopping in stores for your music seems to be outdated as other methods of purchasing are in for exmaple amazon or play.com provide a cheaper and easier way to get music. The only reason people seem to want to buy music in stores is for the nostagic feeling.
Chirs Anderson's Long Tail Theory can be applied to this as suggests that HMV not being a major online presence, not selling those niche products that other music retailers do sell. As I know that HMV only really sell the major hits such as your Justin Bieber's etc.
