They say that music makes the world go around, and I think they might be right. It seems you can't go anywhere without hearing a funky tune or seeing someone with those tiny iPod headphones in their ears. The thing I love most about music is there is a genre for everyone. The dance lovers have their Lady Gaga, the emos have their Panic! at the Disco, and those country hicks have their Keith Urban. Some of us love listening to music because we like the sound of it, others get really into the lyrics and meaning behind a song. Then there are those that go the extra mile. They are the hardcore fans who let the world know who their favourite artist is with memorabilia. You'd be surprised at some of the items out there for music lovers. We here at Shopwiki love our music (yes, there is even a Justin Bieber fan among us), which is why we've put together this guide. If you're looking for a neat item for your bedroom or want to find an awesome band t shirt, this is the guide for you.
Top Selling Albums In Australia
Before we go any further, we are going to look at the highest selling albums ever in Australia. How many of these albums are in your CD collection?
Vinyl
In a world of MP3 downloads and music playing mobile phones, it's hard to imagine that people actually listened to records. What is even stranger is the fact that records and vinyl are quite treasured in the music world. Artists including Adele, Lady Gaga, and Operator Please have released vinyl versions of their albums. You're not going to find these records in normal department stores, but there are many online sites and independant record stores out there that stock many tracks. Check out these popular titles.
Posters
You know you love a band or a singer when you have photos of them plastered all over your bedroom wall. Posters are usually massive amongst the younger generations, particularly teenage girls. If you're after the high quality posters, you're going to want to purchase them, but most magazines such as Dolly, Girlfriend, and TV Hits will include posters. Here are some of the most popular.
Books
There are many different books available about your favourite singers and bands. Not only do these books give you the juicy information about their lives, but they are great to look back on. My Mum has a bunch of programs from concerts she has attended over the years. It's always good to see how the artists evolved, and how successful their careers really were. Check out these high selling books.
DVDs
If you are a very visual person and like to see your favourite stars performing or in their own documentaries, then
Clothes
Nothing tells the world you are a hardcore fan of a band or singer more than a clothing item. You basically become a walking billboard for your favourite song. The thing I love about clothing merchandise is that no genre of music is excluded. You've got your teeny-boppers in their Disney friendly outfits, you're grunge lovers in their black band shirts, and so on. Check out some of our favourite clothing items.
Games And Toys
Games and toys of bands and singers have long been a favourite when it comes to collectors. If you keep these items in mint condition, they have been known to sell for thousands of dollars. Check out some of our favourite toys and games.
