www.nme.com/news/various-artists/83734By Kim Hillyard , March 20, 2015 14:10 Streaming overtakes CD sales in the US for the first timeRead more at www.nme.com/news/various-artists/83734#vOhAtEvCdz1T4edP.99For the first time ever, streaming services including Spotify, Pandora, YouTube and Vevo brought in more revenue for the US music industry than CD sales. As detailed in a report issued by the Recording Industry of America (RIAA), 2014 saw streaming services notch up $1.87 billion (£1.25bn) compared to $1.85 billion (£1.23bn) from physical sales. Revenue from streaming services has been growing year on year since 2009. Last year saw its biggest surge yet, growing 29 per cent percent in one year alone. However, though CDs are on the decline, 32 per cent of US music industry revenues in 2014 came from physical formats, compared to 25 per cent from streaming services. Digital downloads led the pack, making up 37 per cent of total revenues. Although, this was an 8.7 per cent decrease on last year. The success of physical sales could be attributed to the ongoing vinyl resurgence. For the first time since 1987, US vinyl sales reached double-digit percentages (14 per cent) and brought in $315 million (a 49 per cent increase on last year). more....

A somewhat related question... Someone asked the other day about Amazon Prime streaming music. Does anyone know if that counts? And does the free version of rdio count, or just the paid version? Billboard counts Amazon. The subscription service info above is JUST FOR THE ALBUM. My opening post is about the SINGLES CHART. These are two different things. Thanks for the answer about Amazon, Q3. Since we already are members I was hoping that would be the case, since I can't subscribe to a whole lot of things without getting in trouble, lol. And yes, I get that the most important thing we can do for the single is to buy it and encourage others to do so!

Billboard counts Amazon. ETA: I edited my post! Sorry -- Nielsen gets the Amazon data and I think they use it but I need to confirm this. Thanks for the answer about Amazon, Q3. Since we already are members I was hoping that would be the case, since I can't subscribe to a whole lot of things without getting in trouble, lol. And yes, I get that the most important thing we can do for the single is to buy it and encourage others to do so! Sorry, I posted too fast. I know that Amazon sends their data to Nielsen. I still have to confirm if it is included in the Billboard Hot 100. I will research it and get an answer soon. :(

I've never been so grateful for the ability to scroll as when the talk turns to streaming, Spotify, Shazam, whatever. I'm a dinosaur who doesn't even have a smart phone. I just plan to go to a store and buy Adam's CD when it comes out.
Carry on.

Girl bopping around in a loose shirt and underwear in her home/bedroom listening to vintage vinyl CHIC records. Then she gets dressed and goes out to a club where CHIC is playing. Most of the moves she does are basic Pilates/Yoga type moves, not even especially sexy dancing stuff. When I was that age my friends and I often wallowed around on the floor listening to music. I'm not young or a supermodel but when I'm home I bop around in a loose t-shirt and my underwear.
