How have music sales changed over time?
assistant
Music sales have been generally declining over the past decade due to the rise of digital music streaming services. With the advent of these platforms, people can access a larger selection of music without having to purchase it. This shift has caused a decrease in physical music sales, but an increase in digital downloads as well as streaming revenues. Additionally, subscription-based streaming services have also grown in popularity, helping to offset some of the losses in physical music sales.
