HOW we buy 音乐 has changed inexorably. That is the conclusion of a newly published 报道 on the world’s digital 音乐 market.
According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, outlets such as Apple’s iTunes store accounted for 27 per cent of the world’s recorded 音乐 sales last year. The bestselling track online was Poker Face 由 Lady Gaga, selling 9.8 million units.
Digital sales totalled $4.6 billion, a 12 per cent rise since 2008. Online sales are slowly starting to offset the decline in sales at ”bricks and mortar” record shops.
Nick O’Byrne, general manager of the Australian Independent Record Labels Association, says it is a superficial milestone.
”It’s a hollow victory for record labels after enduring years of declining sales,” he said. ”Digital 音乐 still only accounts for 8 per cent of our total album sales, which pales into insignificance 下一个 to the amount of content illegally shared and downloaded.”
Sabiene Heindl, general manager of the 音乐 Industry Piracy Investigations organisation, 说 inroads had been made in countries with aggressive legislation against illegal downloading.
”In South Korea, for instance, the market has rallied back,” she said.
Mr O’Byrne 说 increased distribution to 粉丝 opened the door to other revenue streams such as merchandise sales and higher attendance at gigs.
”For fledgling artists it’s a case of being pragmatic and moving with the times, but larger labels are still struggling to come to terms with decreasing revenues from physical sales,” he said.
”What’s often forgotten is there are still thousands of people with families, mortgages and rent who are losing jobs within the 音乐 industry as a direct result of piracy.”
