Nielsen-Soundscan 2010 Year-End Data
Here's the full report: http://www.businesswire.com/news/hom...ndustry-Report
Quote:
U.S. music sales fell 2.4 percent last year as consumers continued to abandon physical CDs and increased their spending online.
Consumers bought 1.51 billion albums, singles, music videos and digital tracks in 2010, down from 1.55 billion in 2009, according to Nielsen SoundScan data. Digital music accounted for 46 percent of all music purchases in 2010, up from 40 percent in 2009 and 32 percent in 2008, the researcher said.
Digital track sales increased 1 percent to 1.17 million units, while digital album sales grew by 13 percent to 86.3 million, Nielsen SoundScan said. Total album sales, including CDs, fell 13 percent to 326.2 million copies.

Recovery is the No. 1 digital album, with 852,000 copies, and Eminem trumps competitors in digital tracks, selling a combined 14 million.
Need You Now was the best-selling physical album (2.7 million), evidence that country fans remain loyal CD buyers.
Repeating her 2008 feat, Swift is the year's top-selling artist after moving 4.5 million albums. If not for the death of Michael Jackson in 2009, Swift would have clinched best-selling-artist honors three years in a row. She becomes the only artist to have sold more than 4 million albums in each of the past three years.
