Yeah, and no one buys albums anymore.

"Digital sales contribute 45 per cent of industry revenues; overtake physical's 39 per cent share"

But revenue is higher on digital sales than physical, so its basically 50/50... and that was last year... in 2016.

Alot of people still buy albums, even in this digital age.

I wasn't being literal when I said no one buys albums anymore, c'mon.

The fact is sales are down by a considerable amount comapred to 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago. Digital sales are also falling due to streaming, this has been going on for the past couple years as Apple Music/Spotify become the go to place to consume music.

In 20 years this what the gaming industry will look like, streaming.
