The digital age, no matter how much dinosaurs and record companies refuse. Spotify and Apple Music are already the "our father" of each of the "millennials." By this we mean that more and more of us choose to pay monthly and religiously for our subscription to endless music, something we rarely did when our only alternative was to access a CD in physical format that quickly bored us. We had already lost those around € 20, and to top it off, if it broke or lost, goodbye to the music. That is just one of the many reasons why Spotify and digital music in general have given a good review of the physical format in Spain.
It was something that could already be seen coming in 2015, when the digital market and the physical market reported respectively 51% and 49% of sales. However, as advertised Digital Economy, Of the 163,7 million euros that music has billed in Spain in 2016, 61% already belongs to streaming music services, data obtained through the annual report of Promusicae.
In short, the industry continues to fall in terms of production and billing, but the only alternative is a digital environment, and that is that in Spain there are already around one million paying subscribers between Apple Music, Spotify, Google Play and Deezer. In this way, the total growth is 37,4% in just 12 months. Regarding the free and sponsored streaming, the one offered by Spotify, already represents 24,7% of total industry revenue.
It seems that the growth of 20% in the sale of vinyl is not the alternative to the physical format, music on CD is dying in almost everyone, except Japan. It's time to make the move to streaming.
It is very good but I know it makes me very expensive and they say that a month is free and I don't even know how to hear a song
