Just missing one piece of info, the release of #CDRW (and affordable #CDR) in the late 90s.

@infobeautiful interesting. Do I understand that the revenue shrinks and that it has never been as high as in 2000? Around 2015 must have been tough for musicians... This doesn't take into account the revenues from concerts... How would it count?

These are really bad representations of data.

The circles are using area arranged linearly. This is doubly bad.

The bottom figure I didn't understand without some serious thought.

@infobeautiful Who would have predicted (back in 2000) that vinyl would outsell CDs in 2020?
