“Overall U.S. album sales rose 1.3% to 330.6 million units, up from 2010’s total of 326.2 million units.”

“Total music sales last year enjoyed a 6.9% increase to 1.6 billion units, up from the nearly 1.51 billion sales transactions counted by Nielsen SoundScan in 2010.”

“In digital songs, Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” scanned 5.2 million as the year’s top song seller; it was one of 112 tracks that each scanned more than 1 million units. Last year, 80 songs achieved that sales plateau.”
