According to Times Live, the Clicks Group said it decided to close Musica due to major changes in the music, film and gaming industry with people streaming and downloading content digitally.

When the year 2021 began, Musica had closed 19 stores with 59 stores still operating, but were due to be closed as their leases expired.
