'...Here are the data for the first half of the year, via the NPD Group consumer-tracking outfit: CDs made up 65 percent of the [US] music market, while paid digital downloads accounted for 35 percent. The digital share has increased from 20 percent two years ago, and Apple’s iTunes (AAPL) alone makes up 25 percent of overall sales...
those numbers are skewed even more in favor of the CD than they appear at first glance: They’re measuring unit sales, not dollars. And given that the majority of digital sales are in the single format (i.e., a dollar or so a pop), that means CDs (at $10 or so a pop) still account for the vast majority of music revenue...' -Peter Kafka, All Things Digital .com's MediaMemo, 18/09/09, http://mediamemo.allthingsd.com/
