I read the article as record sales are steady (4% growth) cd sales are plummeting (48% drop). As others have said people are moving from cd to streaming. Those who have been buying records are continuing to buy records.
What I am really interested to know is what is driving the growth of streaming revenue. Is it everyone stuck at home due to covid and streaming more hours, or is there a growth in the number of people listening to streaming services for the first time in a free or paid tier. Are people moving to paid tiers from free? If so what is the reason they want to move to paid tiers. And most personally for me and for us as a group, are people paying for quality and moving to paid tiers that promise higher quality streaming?
