US music fans streamed more than 1 trillion songs on demand for the first time in 2019, that's around 3 billion streams a day, or, roughly, nine streams per day per person. Video music streaming jumped 40.7 percent from 2018 to 2019, almost double the year-to-year increase in audio streaming. On-demand stream consumption now represents 85% of all music consumption in the United States; a 7.6-point jump over 2018 (77%). While album sales and song sales continued to decline, 23% and 26% respectively, vinyl album sales in 2019 experienced another double-digit growth year; up 10.5% over 2018. BuzzAngle Music reports.
