Two possible meanings:
1) The store is out of stock on the album you wanted - it's "sold out".
2) The artist has "sold out" in making the album, meaning that he or she has compromised artistic merits and principals that he or she exhibited previously, for the primary purpose of achieving commercial success.
I have a feeling you mean the second one. For an example, see Nelly Furtado.

Instead of following the bands own musical background they have produced an album aimed at mainstream fans simply because that will make more money

Either there are none left in the store or the artist has forgotten about promulgating his political or social agenda in order to sell records.

When you no longer write music intended to convey anything more than dollar signs. You write something catchy that will sell to the masses, you allow your image to become a trend, you do it all for the money.

Generally it means a band has reached more commercial success than before, and the fans are angry at the new radio friendly direction.

Means that this album is no longer on sale anywhere, or there are no more copies left to be purchased.

it means you can't buy the album until the store prepares another stock.

Both of the previous answers are acceptable - it depends on the context.
