Thanks for coming back ... what about posting a comment today on something you're reading. Or maybe follow me on Twitter twitter.com/damiensaunders

Album unbundling, copyright theft and difficult retail conditions contributed to a drop in album sales of 10.8% in 2007 say the British Phonographic Industry.

The continued growth of download sales helped the singles market grow by 29.3% during 2007, which became the third biggest year on record for the format.
