Posted December 19, 200619 yr From musicweek Dance music buoyed by downloads 19 December 2006 - 11:52:40 Dance music is benefiting the most from the increase in singles sales, helped by the booming download market. According to BPI figures released today, dance singles - including downloads - are up 50.1% for the first three quarters of 2006, against an overall singles market increase of over 45%. For the 12 months ended September 2006, dance's share of compilation albums stood at 26% - up from 20% a year ago. This is dance music’s highest share since 2002. And dance compilations are up 14.6%, against an overall compilations market decline of 12.2%. Although its common sense that dance dominates the compilations market, its good to know some facts. Still, might as well eliminated dance compilations, maybe they'll start selling massively in the singles chart.
