The line graph illustrates the disparities in music sales across various formats. Overall, music sales through streaming exhibited the most significant change, demonstrating a general upward trend until the end of the period, while downloads and CD sales followed an opposite trajectory.
Focusing first on streaming sales, this format experienced the most substantial growth. Starting from a mere $0 in 2011, the figure skyrocketed to $2.5 billion by 2015 and continued to rise, reaching a peak of $8 billion by the end of the period.
In contrast, the changes for vinyl sales were not as dramatic. Over the seven-year period, vinyl sales remained below $1 billion, showing no significant fluctuation. Meanwhile, CD sales experienced a decline, dropping to $1 billion by 2018. Downloads, which were valued at around $3 billion in 2013, fell to $2 billion just a year later, and continued to decrease slightly until the end of the period.
