For the last 4 months, EMI physical CD sales have plummeted 20 percent, however the news comes bundled with the fact that in the same time period, digital music sales were up 26 percent.
EMI was the first major label to offer its music DRM-free and it is still the only label to offer such music on iTunes despite Universal's latest turn to a DRM-free catalogue. EMI has said that the move to DRM-free has helped boost their digital sales, and that "early revenue indications for this initiative are encouraging."
Perhaps this latest news will encourage EMI to keep the path and embrace that digital music is the present and future of the industry.
