Back to digital music, and a bit more research about the growth of the US digital music market for you.
Jupiter Research has predicted that digital music will contribute 41% of the record companies' revenue by 2013, up from the 18% it accounts for today (though, as previously reported, Warner division Atlantic recently said digital already accounted for over 50% of its revenues).
The bad news though is that the growth in digital won't fully compensate for the slump in CD sales, meaning the industry will see its over-all revenues drop by up to half a billion dollars a year in the next five years. So, that's nice.
