Os รกlbuns digitais e as faixas digitais tambรฉm apresentaram quedas em relaรงรฃo a 2013, embora o consumo digital geral (vendas e transmissรตes) tenha apresentado crescimento. O consumo total para o ano, com base em รกlbuns mais รกlbuns equivalentes a faixas e รกlbuns equivalentes a streaming, caiu ligeiramente em relaรงรฃo a 2013.
“Music fans continue to consume music through on-demand streaming services at record levels, helping to offset some of the weakness that we see in sales,โ says David Bakula, SVP Industry Insights, Nielsen. โThe continued expansion of digital music consumption is encouraging, as is the continued record setting growth that we are seeing in vinyl LP sales.โ
