"Will Soon Be"? How about "Has Been" and "For Years".

On what planet? They've been the number 1 music retailer in the world (and still are) since 2008.

According to sales though, digital downloads of music is still seeing year-over-year growth. It's crutching the record industry right now. But I agree with your overall sentiment, I think sales will soon catch up (or down?) to what is going to be an obvious consumer behavior shift. Paying for music downloads will soon ride out the backside of the late adopter curve soon enough.
