US distributors say Wal-Mart still number one music retailer

The big four US music distributors say Wal-Mart remains the country's top music retailer, disputing NPD research which named iTunes the biggest.

According to HitsDailyDouble, the big four US music distributors have said that as far as they are concerned Wal-Mart is still the country's number one music retailer. Their comments follow that NPD research that said that iTunes had grabbed the 'biggest in the US' title in music retail. But the distribution types say Wal-Mart's business is definitely worth more than Apple's business. Though it wasn't entirely clear to me on what basis NPD were declaring Apple the biggest in the first place.
