Happy Cinco de Mayo Everyone,

Next week marks the return of Music Biz in Nashville. We will have great attendance this year from our stores and Michael, Carrie, Luann and I will also be there as well to represent our three coalitions and Record Store Day. I am looking forward to finally seeing many of you in person for the first time in what feels like way too long!

Also, I want to congratulate three of our CIMS stores for being nominated this year for the Bizzy AwardsFrontline Innovator Award — For a retail store that showed exceptional inventiveness and ingenuity in their practices during the past year in their interactions with consumers.

Darkside Records (Poughkeepsie, NY)
Music Millennium (Portland, OR)
The Record Exchange (Boise, ID)

Congratulations to you all and best of luck.

See you next week in Nashville- be sure to say hi!

Here are the charts,
Andrea
