Also in the first period of 2008, sales of digital single tracks rose 42.3% compared with the corresponding period of 2007, the charts compiler reports.

The solid opening stanza follows a record year for digital single track and album sales, which the OCC says reached 77.96 million and 6.25 million unit sales, respectively.
