Apple responsible for 25% of US music sales
If you needed more proof that the music cd is dying and record companies should accompany the the shift in consumer preferences then maybe the next amazing numbers by the NPD Group should convice you:
* Apple is generating one quarter of all US music sales (25%). And Apple is also responsible for 69% of all online music sales.
* 65% of all music sold during 2009 are still in CD format.
Times are changing. Apple managed to stay ahead of the game by thinking forward and not fighting change. But as the music industry is now paying more attention to the situation, the TV and newspaper mediums are starting to face the new dilemmas from digital distribution and most are choosing to fight the trend. Let’s see how well they’ll do.
Humn…. does Apple only sales to USA customers? humn… don’t thing so….
therefore Apples sells the equal to 1/4 to USA music sales.
