Nielsen: Digital Music Sales Up 14% So Far This Year, On Pace To Set New Sales Record

Nielsen today announced its 2012 mid-year SoundScan numbers for the U.S. and the trends look pretty familiar: digital album sales were up 14% compared to the same time period last year and digital track sales were up 6%. Overall, music sales were up 6%, though overall album sales were down a little bit (-0.6%), as the sales numbers of physical CDs continues to drop. Still, Nielsen says CD album sales still accounted for 61% of all album sales in the last six months. That's down from 66% last year, but still higher than most of us who live in the digital world would expect.
