Music downloads dropped significantly from $2.8 billion to $2.3 billion from 2013 to 2015 alone, as more and more people turn to streaming services like Apple Music, Spotify and TIDAL for their favourite tunes.

Apple revolutionised the pay-per-download music service with its launch of iTunes back in 2001 - and over the last 15 years led the way for the rise of digital music.
