Str.Pos - Aut 2014 (k) - Aut 2015 (k) 1 - 13.5 - 32 5 - 10 - 18 10 - 8 - 15 20 - 6.5 - 12 30 - 5 - 10 40 - 4 - 8 50 - 3 - 6.7 75 - 2.1 - 3.7 100 - 1.7 - 2.9 As you can see, for any given position on the streaming chart, it's contribution to combined sales has pretty much doubled over the last 12 months.

Can't be long before streaming makes up 90 percent of the market, isn't it already at 75 percent or something?

For the top 10, it's only about 1/3rd. For the chart below #30, it is consistently 50-60%.
