10%, NOT 20%
The 20% figure cited in the opening paragraph is interesting but misleading. It would be like saying, in the 80s, that vinyl LP sales plunged 20%, when there were offsetting CD sales. The real sales drop isn't mentioned until much further down in the WSJ article: "Overall, sales of all music -- digital and physical -- are down 10% this year." A 10% drop is significant, yes, but the story makes things seems a lot worse than they are.
