Best Buy has announced that it has begun marketing its Musicland subsidiary 'in order to concentrate on the Company's core business and assets.' Best Buy CEO Brad Anderson said in a statement, 'Over the last year, Musicland has suffered from further declines in CD sales and a continued slowdown in traffic in traditional shopping centers nationwide. In addition, it has been less successful than we had hoped in selling consumer electronics in its mall stores.' In association with the planned sale, Best Buy plans to report the chain's results separately as discontinued operations and take a $441 million charge, including a $308 million asset impairment charge.
