I've sold about 12 albums (though most are closer to traditional EP length). Never sold a single. I remember seeing some data that said that was the norm on Bandcamp. I think albums are doing fine, but maybe the amalgam of loosely connected musical product that most albums are is not working anymore.

All the albums I've sold have had a clear narrative thread going through it, while all the random assortments I did early on never sold.

It's almost as if it varies by genre and there is no hard and fast rule if you're talking about all music.
