Weekly Music Sales Report - 27 February 2013

Everyone was expecting a little slide this week once the Grammy bump wore off--and here it is.

In Canada, we're now flat year-to-date as far as music sales go over last year.  Physical CD sales aren't helping; they down by 16% from 2012.  Digital album sales pick up some of the slack with a 25% year-over-year incrses while digital track sales are up by 11%.

Babel from Mumford & Sons stays at #1, making this its sixth non-consecutive week at the top, selling just 5,800 copies.  (Hey, it's the end of February.  This isn't unexpected.)  The Lumineers pull into second place with their self-titled album, which is the second time they've reached as high as #2 with this record.

Sounds like:  A long, slow walk to reality...
