Music sales

Oct 26th 2006
From The Economist print edition

Not surprisingly, America is the world’s biggest music market, with retail sales of $4.9 billion in the first half of the year. However, Britain, Japan and Norway, which is only the 19th-biggest market, buy more music per person. Rich does not necessarily mean big: Brazil, with sales of $163m, Mexico, with $162m, and South Africa, with $98m, all make the top 20 by absolute size.

Just wanted to share this, but I don’t feel too compelled to write out and publish my thoughts concisely.
