The music industry may be suffering due to the rise of social media and the sharing economy. Apple's iTunes store sales fell almost 14% in the past year, adding to a previous 2.1% decline, as music streaming services like Spotify have grown in popularity. Beyoncé released her latest album exclusively on iTunes for a period, reinventing the release strategy for albums.
