In other news, music is having its best ever years, with sales of tracks reaching the highest ever recorded figures surpassing 1.5 billion units in the US for the second consecutive years:

You'd think the RIAA would be happy, but sadly the RIAAs record companies are NOT the ones making the money now. See the chart below it's not pretty, even if they held their 2007 slot, they'd be less than 30% of the US track sales.

On the other hand, if RIAA sales have continued to slide, they're probably only 20/25% of track sales now.
