HMV

HMV, who also own Waterstones, are one of the only succeeding music street stores. Strangely enough the store actually loses money every year for the first 6 months. This year they saw a loss of around £25M in those months which is actually a lot less than usual (Working Lunch, BBC).

The businesses busy months are the later 6 which includes Christmas time and that is when they make their profits. This time around HMV is hoping to have augmented sales due to influence from the TV show X-Factor.
