根据尼尔森音乐统计(Nielsen SoundScan)周四公布的数字，2011年美国唱片总销量达4.58亿张，较2010年增长3%以上，也是自2004年以来首次上升，主要得益于数字唱片销量的增长。2011年从销售单位来看，数字音乐销售超过了实体音乐销售，占据了音乐销量的50.3%。数字音乐销售达12.7亿张，比2010年增长8.4%。
尼尔森的数据显示，去年美国唱片销量排名第一的是英国灵魂乐女歌手阿黛勒(Adele)的个人专辑《21》，销量达580万张。阿黛勒2008年发行的首张个人专辑《19》去年售出了85.6万张。
加拿大流行爵士乐歌手麦可-布雷(Michael Buble)去年10月发行的新专辑《圣诞节》销量达250万张。Lady Gaga的《天生如此》(Born This Way)销量达210万张。
2011年，美国唱片市场数字唱片销量增长近20%，至1.03亿张，CD销量下降近6%，至2.25亿张。数字单曲销量增长近9%，至12.7亿张。
