Itunes Reigns Supreme 3

Digital music aggregate CD Baby recently released a chart breaking down the revenue pulled in from digital music services in 2011. I wasn’t surprised to see that Itunes still brings in the most revenue, but I did not expect it to be so dominant. It is also pretty interesting that Spotify accounted for only 2.0% of revenue, slightly less than fellow streaming service Rhapsody at 2.1%. This does lend some credence to my suggestion that indie artists should see Spotify more as a marketing tool rather than a revenue source. – via Digital Music News.
