DIGITAL MUSIC SALES FLAT

Nielsen has released a report showing U.S. digital music sales have been flat in the first half of 2010, showing no positive growth.  In contrast, digital sales rose 28% from 2007 to 2008 and 13% from 2008 to 2009.  While it is still possible to have an increase for the entire year, the report should still be concerning for the music labels. Nielsen cited lack of consumer confidence and confusion over the plethora of ways to acquire your digital music online as possible reasons for the sudden slowdown.

Tell us what you think the reason for the plateau may be. [BGR]
