The graph illustrates trends in music buying habits between 2011 and 2018.

It presents
three different methods: streaming, downloading and buying CDs.

Overall, both downloads and physical sales of music have steadily declined. The latter has
slumped since 2011, while the downturn for the former began in 2014. However, there has
been a sharp rise in people streaming music since 2013.

In 2011, the majority of music sales were of CDs, at 55% of all sales. In contrast, streaming
was not common at all at only 5%. Also, although people had started to download music, it
only represented 35% of sales. As sales of CDs began to fall, downloads started to rise. They
rose steadily and downloads overtook physical sales in mid-2013. During the same period,
streaming doubled to 10% but then it started to grow more dramatically.

Downloads peaked in 2014 at about 43% of sales but fell to 30% by 2018. This was slightly
higher than physical sales, which shrank to 25%. Streaming, on the other hand, overtook
both of them and accounted for just over 40% of sales in 2018.
