Music Industry Statistics: Sales Rise In 2012, The First Time Since 1999

We don't know if it is time to party like it is '99 - but this is definitely some great news for the music industry. We had spotted several stats on the music industry in the past - digital music stats, spotify stats and so on. We spotted this stat today, that the global 2012 sales for the music industry have risen - 0.3 percent, to $16.5 billion. (Source). That does not do much to the scale however - here is an example - but this is definitely seen as a bottoming out of the revenue, with good times expected in future.
