HOW we buy música has changed inexorably. That is the conclusion of a newly published reportar on the world’s digital música 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 música sales last year. The bestselling track online was Poker Face por 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 música still only accounts for 8 per cent of our total album sales, which pales into insignificance siguiente to the amount of content illegally shared and downloaded.”
Sabiene Heindl, general manager of the música Industry Piracy Investigations organisation, dicho 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 dicho increased distribution to fans 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 música industry as a direct result of piracy.”

Wambie girls, Lady Gaga is number 1 when it comes to most powerful stars...
So tu might be wondering, how the heck did that happen? Well, because she has made $90 million dollars in 12 months! Plus, she's a hit on the Internet, remember that Lady Gaga managed to get 10 million followers on Twitter !! .
Oprah Winfrey, is no longer in position number 1, that título is now held por Gaga.
Justin Bieber is in position number 3 (he made $53 million), and is the youngest to have ever been on the list. Katy Perry is in position 12 and Beyoncé Knowles & Britney Spears have lost rank on the list.
La Gaga doesn't stop, but Justin is getting closer and closer to the throne!
Lady Gaga has had many hits on youtube for her other videos like "Poker Face" (374,606,128 views), "Just Dance" (272,941,674 views) and "Bad Romance (360,020,327 views). Added together, that's over one billion views.
Lady Gaga will soon have company in the one billion vistas club. The Twilight saga is close behind with 980 million, and Soulja Boy has 860 million...
Justin Bieber fans should not get too upset that the queen of funky pop beat him to a billion. His video "Baby" still holds its record.
