"Let's start off with some key figures published by BPI last week regarding UK music sales... In 2010 the BPI reports that there are 281.7 million units sold, which is an all-time record. Never in the history of recorded music have so many pieces of music been sold, but you won't hear the music industry shouting about that . In fact, the music industry is selling more music year after year an today's figure is up 27 percent compared to the 221.6 million copies sold in 2006."
