Adele的專輯 21連續第二年成為全球銷售冠軍，去年總計賣出830萬張。
全球整體音樂收入增加了0.3%，是自1999年來首次出現上升。
Music Week雜誌分析師表示，這顯示了音樂產業在數位時代中
努力改變終於獲得一些成果。
數位收入在去年上升了9%，並占了總音樂收入的34%。
Call Me Maybe是去年全球最賣的單曲，總計售出1250萬張。
Adele比起第二的 Taylor Swift整整多賣了300多萬張；
One Direction占據了三四名的位置。前十名裡還有兩位
英國歌手：Rod Stewart的 Merry Christmas排在第七；
Mumford and Sons的 Babel排在第九。
Gotye的 Somebody That I Used To Know為全球單曲銷售亞軍，
賣出1180萬張；江南Style 總銷售970萬張；Fun的 We Are Young
緊追在後為960萬張。
IFPI的報告顯示數位音樂收入中，下載占了70%；訂閱的串流服務占了10%，
剩下的部份則是手機鈴聲及有廣告的影音網站像是 YouTube和 Vevo等。
儘管音樂產業有復甦的跡象，但是仍有許多障礙未解：
網路盜版仍然嚴重影響著音樂產業，接近1/3的網路使
用者經常使用未授權網站下載音樂。
IFPI建議音樂相關公司不要在非法網站上廣告音樂，並且督促搜尋引擎
將合法的音樂服務優先放在搜尋結果的前面；政府也要加強和相關產業
的合作，一同創造理想的數位音樂環境。

Adele's 21 tops 2012 global album chart
Adele's chart-topping album 21 has topped the global albums chart for a
second consecutive year.
The album, released in January 2011, sold 8.3 million copies last year, the
International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) said.
Overall music revenues were up 0.3% to $16.5bn (￡10.9bn) - the first year of
industry growth since 1999.
Paul Williams, the head of business analysis at Music Week, said the rise was
"very significant".
"After many, many years of decline the graph is finally heading northwards
again," he said.
"It underlines the efforts the music industry has been putting in and the
results it's now getting in reinventing itself in the digital era."
The IFPI's annual Digital Music Report also showed that digital revenues grew
by 9% last year and now account for 34% of total revenue.
Carly Rae Jepsen's hit Call Me Maybe was the best-selling single of 2012,
with 12.5 million units sold globally.
Adele outsold her nearest rival, Taylor Swift's Red, by some three million
copies.
Former X Factor contestants One Direction had the third and fourth
best-selling albums around the world with their first two records Up All
Night and Take Me Home, with 4.5 million and 4.4 million copies sold
respectively.
There were two other British acts in the top 10 - Rod Stewart's Merry
Christmas, Baby was at number seven and Grammy winners Mumford and Sons'
Babel was at nine.
Gotye's mega-hit Somebody That I Used To Know was the second biggest-selling
single globally, with 11.8 million purchases.
Psy's YouTube smash Gangnam Style sold 9.7 million units, with Fun's We Are
Young just behind on 9.6 million.
The IFPI's report also showed that download sales represented around 70% of
overall digital music revenue.
Subscription streaming accounts for 10%, while mobile ringtones and ad-funded
services like YouTube and Vevo made up the difference.
Although the music industry was showing signs of recovery, the IFPI said
there were still "major hurdles that need to be addressed to unlock the huge
potential for further growth".
It said internet piracy still had a seriously impact on the industry,
estimating that nearly a third of all internet users regularly access
unlicensed sites to download music.
The organisation recommended that companies stop advertising on illegal music
sites and urged search engine providers to prioritise search results relating
to legal services.
"Our markets remain rigged by illegal free music," said IFPI chief executive
Frances Moore.
"This is a problem where governments have a critical role to play, in
particular by requiring more co-operation from advertisers, search engines,
ISPs and other intermediaries.
"These companies' activities have a decisive influence in shaping a
legitimate digital music business."
