Mobile downloads hit the charts

More people than ever are downloading music on their mobile phones, new data suggests. The BBC reports.

"Nearly 7% of all chart music bought this year has been downloaded through a mobile service, according to the Official UK Charts Company (OCC).

That represents nearly 70,000 chart singles bought every week by people on the move.

... The mobile music business, including ringtones, is now thought to be worth £3.2bn ($5.5bn) . Its growth reflects the continuing trend away from traditional music formats like CDs and DVDs.

Consultants, Deloitte predict that by the end of 2006 a fifth of all music sales will be made digitally. "
