Digital Music Sales on the Rise in the UK
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Brad Cook
British music trade association BPI on Wednesday announced that digital music sales in the UK for the first quarter of 2006 were up 152% over the same period last year, according to Macworld UK. Reporter Jonny Evans noted that 78% of all singles sold in the UK are now digital, compared to 44% in 2005 and 4% in 2004, pushing 44% growth in the singles market compared to the first quarter of 2005.
CD sales, however, aren't on the wane just yet: 27.9 million of them were sold during the first quarter of 2006, a record for the UK. "We thought it would take three years, but in just 30 months the UK record industry has transformed itself from one that was 100 per cent focused on physical product to the most advanced digital music market in Europe," Mr. Evans quoted BPI chairman Peter Jamieson as saying.
