On Friday's Daily Noise, brought to you by Fuse and Billboard.com, we bring you a special report on album sales. While CD sales have been dropping off, vinyl has made a comeback, and this year has seen the greatest number of vinyl albums sold since Nielsen SoundScan began to track sales in 1991--Michael Jackson's "Thriller" has unsurprisingly topped vinyl sales for the year so far. Digital albums and tracks are also setting records--so far Jackson, Lady GaGa, Black Eyed Peas and Taylor Swift have already surpassed Rihanna's 9.9-million track record from last year. In New Noise, Flyleaf talks about their new album "Memento Mori" and its message that life is short.
