I bought a lot digitally in 2012, but nothing that counts as an "album" (lots of singles, EPs and compilations).
I've merged online JB with bricks because online was only 1 CD.

Lots of 2012 albums. I blame my magazine subscriptions for this, informing me of new CDs I wouldn't otherwise have known about. I'm still back-filling...
Looking only at 2012 released albums, average price of Australian bought was $22.16, while overseas bought (including postage) was $18. The US postal service was significantly increased overseas postage this year so US purchases are looking less attractive, despite a still very strong Australian dollar.
