Sales of recorded music fell again in Spain in 2013 for the 12 year row.
A total of 119.8 million euros were spent on music by Spaniards in the year, a drop of 15.1% compared to 2012, when it hit 141 million – according to stats from Promusicae.
The small amount of total retail revenues are all the more shocking when you consider that Spain’s recorded music industry closed 2001 with a record income of €626 million.
That equates to a cumulative decrease in turnover of 80.9%.
The below charts show the savage decline in Spain’s music income, and the split of physical and digital sales.
