The line chart illustrates the proportion of three different ways in which people consume music between the time period ranging from 2011 to 2018.
As of 2011 more than 53% of the purchases were on CDs, followed by music downloads (roughly 35%) with streaming being the least preferred method. However, sales on CDs went exponentially down to approximately a quarter of the total users in 2018. On the contrary, Streams experimented a gradual and pronounced increase from almost 5% in 2011 to more than 40% seven years later.
It is interesting to note that whereas streams and CDs show a monotonous trend, downloads gradually rose until they peaked at over 43% in 2014 and then they went down to slightly under 30% by 2018.
From 2011 to 2018 CD purchases changed from being the most popular way to consume music to the be the least preferred one. Music on streaming experienced the contrary effect, whereas downloads showed an oscillating pattern.
