We don't have a lot of details here (and I don't blame you for not providing more), but a couple of thoughts besides the obvious recession issues:
Is she still producing new songs at a steady rate? If not, there's a fan saturation factor - people will come to the live gigs, but they're not going to re-buy songs they've already bought.
If I discover a new artist tomorrow that I like, I will buy all 40 of their backlist, but then if they aren't producing new pieces for me to buy, I've run out of money to give them.
Sure, if someone else discovers them tomorrow, that's another 40 sales, but it's MUCH easier to get money out of your fans than to make new fans.
Just wondering if that might be part of the problem.
