Música digital contraria a crise
«While sales of physical albums continued to plummet during the first nine months of 2006, big increases in the sale of digital tracks and albums have kept the overall music business in line with last year's totals.
According to Nielsen SoundScan figures for the week ending Oct. 1, marking the end of the third quarter, physical album sales so far this year totaled 370.5 million, down 8.3% from the 404.2 million units racked up in the same time period last year.
However, digital album sales climbed 115%, with 22.6 million sold through September. Downloaded tracks soared 72%, with 418.6 million sold in the first nine months of the year.
Adding digital albums and track equivalent albums (with 10 digital tracks equaling one album) to physical sales, a total of 434.9 million albums have been sold in 2006. The total is short of last year's nine-month tally of 439.2 million units by a slight one-tenth of one percent.»Fonte: Digital Sales Are Soothing For Record Biz Oct. 05, 2006 By Chris Morris, The Hollywood Reporter
