1982 – CDigital revolution

In 1982, Philips and Sony again created a revolution and introduced a Compact disc to the public. The first album was Billy Joel's "52nd Street".

It was a start of a digital era that killed records' and cassette' sales (especially after the release of Discman). Also, it was a first step to piracy as we see it today, as people could take their friends' discs and burn them onto their computers.
