CD Sales

Only 2.8 CDs per year / per person... (US)??

From the FRUKT newletter: "BPI figures show that people in the UK buy on average 3.2 CDs each every year. The other top countries are; US (2.8), France (2.1), Japan (2.0) and Germany (2.2)".

Some pretty relevant numbers, imho. Clearly, CDs are not getting a whole lot of people excited anymore. If we could get 90% of people in the 'rich nations' to spend a very low flat fee on music, every year, that would be a huge sea change. Is this where Napster To Go is heading?

More on the above stats here
