ATRL Moderator Samson Posted March 24, 2019 ATRL Moderator Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Quote The equivalent of nearly 125m albums has been sold and streamed through 3/14. Nearly 100m equivalents come from streaming, representing 77.5%. Physical albums have logged north of 13m units so far this year, with a 10.5% share (CDs 8%, LPs 2.5%). Digital albums and tracks now make up only 6.7% and 5.3% of the market, respectively. http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=315730 digital sales being stomped out this quickly ngl i would welcome back CD singles just for the kii.

El Chico Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 If you’re gonna spend money on a form of music may as well get a tangible item. But with track and album combined it beats out CDs so she has that win there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Physical CDs / Vinyls have that tangible value. Theres absolutely no pt in having a digital version of sth that everyone can have and u cant really show anyone that... Like u open your computet and say "hey I have a digital version of this album" while the interface of streaming an album looks exactly the same Edited March 24, 2019 by duybeeGAshantiGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just stream mega successful A list artists (even if some of them are my faves) nowadays. They are already rich af. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsnickcray Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Proofs that physical albums are still a thing. At least for the fans! We like to have something in our hands, something phsyical of our faves. besides that, I buy every album I love. I don’t trust streaming services when it comes to the future. What if internet is gonna end one day because of a war of something like that. Besides that, the whole package of a album can change the vibe of the music too...
