I’d like to wish Derek Sivers and the staff at CD Baby a happy 10th birthday!  Man, time flies when you’re having fun!  It seems like just yesterday that I put my first CD for sale on their site!

So it’s amazing to me that CD Baby is now celebrating it’s tenth anniversary.

Since then, CD Baby has become the number one destination for independent, self-distributed artists, offering indies an incredible 91% of each sale.   Derek knows what he’s doing, too.  CD Baby recently reached the $70 million dollar payout mark for it’s artists.

On Derek’s CD Baby post, he says “”…despite the moaning you hear from the majors, independent artists are selling better than ever. Even physical CD sales are up 30% over last year!…Helping you develop, create, promote, and sell your music makes me happier than anything.”

Here’s to another successful 10 years, CD Baby!!  And many more!
