Music sales in Spain surged some 27% in the first half of 2019

, with subscription streaming services income up 41% over the same period in 2018., Spain's population spent €140.7 million euros on music in streaming and physical formats.

The increase in music sales from January to June 2019 was the biggest since 2001, when Spain's piracy-plagued industry took a nosedive, Promusicae reported. What the report calls "the unstoppable rise of streaming," principally by subscription but also ad-supported, is the main force behind the new figures. Nevertheless, sales of vinyl and CDs in Spain also increased in the first half of the year. Vinyl record sales increased to €7.7 million over €5.1 million in the same period in 2018. And CD sales increased almost 8% over the first six months of last year, rising for the first time since 2014.
