Sorry to labour the point but any quoted figures that say 'digital' do not include physical products such as CD or Vinyl. I worked for EMI for 14 years and my missus 18 years (she did the data for the BPI).
Also on bbc news
That sounds like a better figure

As far as I heard on the BBC news, from when I was watching it, they said 5 percent are CD sales, and the rest are basically downloads and whatever, maybe I mis-heard, the news caster mis spoke, but I am 100 percent certain that is the wording used, because if they said only 5 percent are on vinyl I would not have even been slightly surprised.
Does seem odd I know but there was no such thing as 'digital' sales when CD's came out and therefore got lumped into physical when the likes of iTunes emerged.
I was saying the BBC were pwned but if you wish to take responsibility then so be it, you were pwned. Infact double Pwn.
It probably is digital and thus includes cd's.
If that's true it sounds about right. Only 5% vinyl and maybe a few tapes.
thats possible, but then the statement is contradictory, i think they class downloads in digital, and all other forms as other. just for the majority of people can more easily understand.
I only buy CDs - sod crappy bitrate DRM'd downloads.
Can that really be true?
Yep, I just think the OP miss heard. As I can't find anything on the bbc website.

don't beleive it, Download sales will never overtake CD sales due to price comparison it costs about the same amount and their is no advantage over having download over disc (plus many drm issues with popular download services)
