albums:
99.7% CD
0.2% vinyl
0.1% other (cassette, download etc.)
singles:
52% download
39.8% CD
6.5% vinyl
1.7 % other (MD, cassette etc.)
I don't believe that data. Are they classifying each individual track
dl'd (say from iTMS) as a single even if it's normally part of an album?
They must be.
I think they must be messing with it in some way. The thing is, maybe people
are downloading 4 tracks from an album, or perhaps if they download just the
single from the album, it gets counted as a single rather than as the whole
album. It would be hard to get the figures exactly right since the old
categories don't really translate one-to-one.
