Music sales dropped to their lowest level in a decade even though there was an increase in digital sales but it did not make up for falling CD sales according to a report from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). Worldwide music sales fell 8 percent to $19.4 billion in 2007. Sales of CDs dropped 13 percent to $15.9 billion. Sales of downloaded songs and mobile ringtones increased 34 percent to $2.9 billion.
36 million Americans turn to the Internet for their source of music and that number is growing every day. Digital music has empowered the music fan. The increasing popularity of single track buying as well as the rising demand for mobile music exemplifies this. MP3 and MP4 player revenue continues to increase. MUSIC DOWNLOADS ARE HOT!!!
