夏说英语新闻晨读 第573期:全球唱片销量上涨

 本期内容：

Global recorded-music sales grew by nearly 10% last year, according to the International Federation¹ of the Phonographic Industry. Although revenues from digital downloads have fallen even faster than those from physical forms of music, such as vinyl albums, over the past five years, streamed music has surged. Nearly half of global sales now come from streaming, reversing an industry decline since 2001 that hit a trough in 2014.
