During 1998-2000, AOL was ordering so many free trial CDs that it locked up world production, and music CDs faced 8-12 week delays. It was rumored that certain weeks there were no albums getting fabricated at all, worldwide.

I wonder if history isn’t repeating itself. AOL CDs had pretty much jumped the shark by 2000.
