I found this time-based chart very interesting. Streaming is king now. As of 2021 it has not yet passed the sales volume of CDs circa 2000, but the inflection curve is pointing up so its is just a matter of time! Interestingly, vinyl never dies!

That was interesting to check out. I didn't realize CD sales were so small. Thanks for sharing!
