iTunes 3rd largest music retailer

Apple iTunes Store Online

That’s right, according for first quarter 2007 reports, the Apple iTunes store has boosted it’s sales to become the 3rd largest music retailer in the US. Apple is now sitting ahead of Amazon at 9.8% of all music purchases, close behind Best Buy and Walmart.

The findings also show that an astonishing 86.2% of all sales were in the physical (CD) format, compared to 13.8% in digital. The music industry, more specifically the RIAA, would still like us to believe that we’re filthy pirates, but with most music still being bought in a DRM-free, CD format, it makes you wonder why our downloadable songs are still DRM’d.
