"Digital downloads lost heat as year progressed " (By Antony Bruno Fri Dec 16, 8:16 PM ET)

Digital downloads got off to a strong start in 2005. More than 155 million tracks were downloaded in the first half of the year, quickly surpassing the 141 million tracks downloaded during all of 2004.

According to research firm NPD Group, Apple Computer's iTunes Music Store now sells more music than retailers Tower Records or Borders Books & Music. Digital revenue overall, including ringtones sales and subscription services, now accounts for 5% of label revenue on average, double that of last year.

But as the year wore on, the growth of downloads began to slow. In May, about 6.4 million downloads were selling per week; average weekly downloads for the third quarter were only up to 6.6 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
