The Big Champagne top 10 typically shows 5-6 million downloads per week for each track. So just the top 10 is ~50 million a week and so ~2500 million a year. The total download market must be at least 10 times this maybe 100 times and possibly even 1000 times as it's a very long, flat tail. So let's say 100 times. That's 250,000 Million. So between 2 and 3 orders of magnitude bigger than iTMS. Put that another way. iTMS has between 0.1% and 1% market share. Doesn't look so important now, does it. Just Say No To DRM.
