Despite fears that streaming access cannibalizes sales, classical music record label X5 tells me when it launched an app within Spotify and saw streams of one album increase 412% in a month, that album's iTunes sales shot up 50%. The Swedish label's "The 50 Greatest Pieces of Classical Music" soon reached #1 on the iTunes Classical charts, and broke into the iTunes Top 200 album charts for the first time, hitting #152.

Maybe some people use Spotify (the free version) as a sampler. Listen to it. Like it. Buy it.
Kinda like radio for some people. Heard it on the radio. Like it. Buy it.
People fear that streaming will cannibalizes sales. Could it be the opposite? (streaming helps sales).
Isn't sales up a lot lately?
Somebody that I used to know is #1 on Spotify for a few weeks now. Before that, it was We Are Young.
