Digital Sales Surpass CDs at Atlantic
New York Times,nbsp;United Statesnbsp;
Atlantic, a unit of Warner Music Group, says it has reached a milestone that no other major record label has hit: more than half of its music sales in the United States are now from digital products, like downloads on iTunes and ring tones for cellphones. #8220;We#8217;re like a college basketball team on an 18-2 run,#8221; said Craig Kallman, Atlantic#8217;s chairman and chief executive. At the Warner Music Group, Atlantic#8217;s parent company, digital represented 27 percent of its American recorded-music revenue during the fourth quarter. (Warner does not break out financial data for its labels, but Atlantic said that digital sales accounted for about 51 percent of its revenue. )With the milestone comes a sobering reality already familiar to newspapers and television producers.
Consumers can find good deals beyond Black Friday
USA Todaynbsp;
And it’s one way to save money on holiday gifts in these financially trying times. But blazing out in the early morning hours after Thanksgiving to hit stores for “door-buster” sales that often start at midnight sure isn’t the only way to snag a great bargain this holiday season #8212; as even the retailers rolling out the Black Friday deals acknowledge. This year, you probably don’t need to. The recession has made bargain hunters out of almost every consumer, and discounters of most every retailer. That’s combined to make this year’s Black Friday more feverish than ever, especially given the fewer shopping days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Retail announcements about Black Friday prices are even more widespread, and started long before anyone was talking turkey.
