I love this graph, as it doesn't account for the 6 BILLION songs downloaded via iTunes between 2003 and 2009. Granted, those are worldwide sales which have ramped up the most in recent years, but in it's first year alone iTunes sold 70 million songs.

The CD is dead. The album is dead. The recording industry as we once knew it is dead. And there ain't no going back...
