digital music sales

The introduction of Apple’s iPod marked a significant change in the music industry’s business.

When it was first released in 2001 there were no digital music stores online. By the end of that decade the number of digital music sales had outgrown physical sales by far.

It’s easy to forget how good something is until it’s gone.

I guess this is also the case with the king of pop, whose musical career weren’t exactly flying in the past decade, but now that Michael’s passed away, everyone remembers him for the good, old, unforgettable hits he’d given us in the 80ies.

When we talk about an online music or video service, almost inevitably we’re talking about the US version of the service, because - due to copyright issues - the service (or at least some of its content, as is the case with YouTube) doesn’t work in the bigger part of the world.
