Thinking about
going only digital?
It could cost you 65% in sales, according to Billboard
magazine.
You want to have music
available for people to purchase, but the increase
in digital sales might make you think twice about
producing CDs.
A new study by Billboard magazine suggests that
you shouldn't abandon physical music product just
yet.
That one decision could cut your music sales by
65% and more, according to some recent analysis
by Glenn Peoples in his Billboard
article "Even
Obscure Titles Still Selling Mostly CDs and LPs"
According to Peoples, while digital's share is growing
around 3-6% a year, even the smallest releases still
sell more physical product than digital.
Hear are the figures:
2010 New Release Sales
* 500,000+ - 17.7% digital
* 100,000 to 500,000 - 20.4% digital
* 50,000 to 100,000 - 23.8% digital
* 10,000 to 50,000 - 27.2% digital
* 1,000 to 10,000 - 33.7% digital
