Recent media accounts covering this explosion in downloadable music purchases, have reported that millions of tracks were purchased from download retailers, smashing the existing record of 9.5 million which was set a week earlier.
The surge in music downloads is attributed to the popularity of MP3 players, such as Apple’s iPod, and gift cards to various music download websites, as Christmas presents.
If the trend that has emerged over the last couple of years continues, downloadable music sites will continue to see a rewarding growth in their sales.
