Old People Listen to Music Online, Record Industry Survives
The AARP has now launched their own internet radio service to cater to the listening tastes of the 55+ crowd, but despite this drastic expansion of internet listeners to an entirely new demographic, the first half of 2011 has seen a 1% increase in record sales, the first such increase since 2004. The increase comes with the strength of Eminem and Adele's record-breaking digital numbers (over a million each). Maybe the AARP will get the old folks into Adele? (via Paste)
