Music Sales on the Rise - Chart Porn

Music Sales on the Rise

5 Mar 2013

Music sales rose last year for the first time in over a decade. Click below for a video explanation over at the Economist. Huffington has some more of the numbers.

I look at this chart and wonder who is still buying all that physical music? Must be the same people who are responsible for this list of top ten selling albums I have never heard.

“I look at this chart and wonder who is still buying all that physical music?”

People who want complete control over their media, rather than DRM restrictions?
