lol nah dude, you're (and apparently these shitty store clerks too) confusing 'record' with 'album'. Albums are released on record, CD, cassette, etc. The term 'record sales' comes from when records were the only format, they're technically album sales though.

I'm not sure, but isn't that record speak? LP for long play, EP for extended play, and then singles?

yeah, and people still type 'it's there hat' and 'Steve is over their' but that doesn't make it any less incorrect.
