Jazz Sales Up In Canada

Sales of jazz and blues recordings in Canada have gone up, says a new report. But all other genres of music have experiences declining sales. “Sales of recordings by Canadian artists totalled $138-million in 2000, down 10.4 per cent from 1998. Canadian artists continue to represent about 16 per cent of the market, by sales, a situation Statistics Canada said has remained a constant since the mid-1990s.”
