Amazon Gains on Apple in Music Retail

NPD Group currently lists the top five music retailers (physical, digital, or otherwise) as: iTunes, Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Amazon, and Target. Interestingly, the report said that Amazon sells more physical CDs than target too, so that also helped, although Amazon’s MP3 Store is still running in the single digits in terms of digital sales.
