Found this at another forum.
Kinda amazing that in general, the #1 single is selling around 150,000 a week in digital format. Also, some singles have sold over 2 million in digital format. This is in the United States alone.
Anyway, the reason for this thread? I believe that in 5-10 years time, more than 50% of all music sold will be in digital format. Right now, it's around 5-8% if I remember correctly.
