How many now what you call music albums are there the exact number by end of 2009?
It is difficult to provide an exact number for the total number of music albums released by the end of 2009, as there are many different sources that track music releases and the data can vary depending on the criteria used. However, according to various estimates, there were approximately 130,000 music albums released worldwide in 2009. This includes both physical albums (such as CDs and vinyl LPs) and digital albums (such as downloads and streaming).
Please note that this number is an estimate and may not include all music releases. Additionally, the number of music albums released may have changed since then due to new releases and updates to the data. For the most up-to-date information, I recommend checking a reputable source that tracks music releases.
