The latest stastistics I saw now show streaming as the #1 money maker. Cds were at the bottom of the list

that the writing is on the wall for physical media in the music industry. It's simply too costly and inflexible from a supply chain POV vs downloads.
In time, that will be the case with video as well, but since the bandwidth requirements are so much higher, that will take more time. Ripping a Blu Ray results in 25-40 GB files. :)
Physical media is by far the #1 form of consumption in Japan and a few other countries. Japan is the second larges market on the planet the US of course being #1. I travel to Japan twice yearly and the CD shops are enormous and packed with young people.Streaming has failed there. Spotify just aborted plans to expand in Japan. I know this for a fact as one of my long time friends works there.

What does your friend in Japan have to say about it?
My friend does not live in Japan. They work for Spotify in London. The Japanese market has been a dismal failure. They could not get consumers to sign up for accounts. They tried everything.
Wrap your head around this. Tower Records, which famously went bust here in the US, has 85 stores in Japan. Several of which I visited last year..multi floor monoliths.
On top of that, licensing for streaming is much more difficult. See this article.
Are the RIAA statistics that I previously quoted here limited to the US?
yes, and your point?
show us the data for Japan.
Sorry, you've already demonstrated how grossly inaccurate your shoot-from-the-hip *facts* are.
Don't ask me then..google is your friend.
You don't have the remotest clue as to the answer!
No surprise there. :)
You are full of shit. I know the EXACT numbers.
Get off your ass and do the research.
You claim my information is bogus, but want me to supply numbers.
You can't have it both ways chucky.
Why am I not surprised, Pearson was an impetuous, petty man. You learned from the best.
I know the EXACT numbersToo funny. Apparently providing a link is beyond your intellectual capability.
Understood.
You can't have it both ways chucky.
You have repeatedly demonstrated that you simply make up $hit to fit your mood.
Pearson was an impetuous, petty man
Yeah, that supports you continued lack of substantiation to anything you'd claimed. :)
edit: I'll do your work and put the world market into perspective :
"The biggest culprits for the fall were an 8.1% decline in revenues from physical format sales...
Another first for the industry in 2014 was that digital and physical music consumption contributed the same proportion of total revenues for the first time... "
The physical media ship is sinking...
