Weekly Register: Country Music Market Share

May 7, 2014/by Sarah Skates

WeeklyReg050714With no big Country album debuts, and Luke Bryan and the Frozen soundtrack still sitting tight at the top of their respective album charts, there isn’t much excitement in sales land today.
On the tracks front, Brantley Gilbert debuted “My Baby’s Guns and Roses,” selling 52K.
Let’s check in on how Country is faring overall.
Market share: Country album market share is holding steady, while Country track sales are losing ground.
Country album market share is on par with this time last year at about 12 percent.
Country’s percentage of all digital albums sold is 9.3 percent, which is also in line with this week last year.
The Country track share of overall track sales is down from 12.9 percent last year to 11.9 percent this year.
Digital percentage: When buying albums, Country fans are buying 34.4 percent digital, up slightly from 32 percent this time last year. By comparison, purchases of overall albums are 44.7 percent digital, up slightly from 43.2 percent last year.
