On-Demand Streaming Up 54%, With 164 Billion Streams in 2014 Vinyl LP Sales Increase 52% – now comprise over 6% of physical album sales Radio Remains Top Source for Music Discovery
New York – Jan. 7, 2015 – Nielsen, the music industry’s leading data information provider announces today the 2014 U.S. Music year-end report for the 12-month period of Dec. 30, 2013 through Dec. 28, 2014.
2014 年，流媒体继续呈现大幅增长，通过音频和视频平台点播的歌曲超过 1,640 亿首。实体专辑销售量有所下降，尽管黑胶唱片的销售量创下了历史新高，但CD的销售量依然疲软。数字专辑和数字曲目与 2013 年相比也有所下降，但数字消费（销售额和流媒体播放量）总体呈增长趋势。根据专辑、等同曲目专辑和等同流媒体专辑计算，本年度的总消费量与 2013 年相比略有下降。
“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,” says David Bakula, SVP Industry Insights, Nielsen. “The continued expansion of digital music consumption is encouraging, as is the continued record setting growth that we are seeing in vinyl LP sales.”
