美国音乐订阅用户突破1亿，数字下载量下降
根据美国唱片业协会（RIAA）的最新收入报告，2024年音乐流媒体服务的订阅用户数突破1亿，总收入达到创纪录的149亿美元，同比增长4%。流媒体收入占总收入的84%，成为主要驱动力。
如先前报道，Spotify在2024年首次实现全年盈利，全球高级订阅用户数增至2.63亿。尽管未公布美国用户的具体数量，但其增长对整体市场贡献显著。
实体媒体收入也呈现增长，尤其是黑胶唱片，销售额达14亿美元，连续第三年超过CD。CD收入同比增长1%，达到5.41亿美元。相比之下，数字下载量同比下降14.9%，仅占总收入的2%。

You can’t. What you can do, though, is use WhatsApp’s and Telegram’s web platforms to transfer stickers. It’s easy, but might take a while.Open WhatsApp in your browser, find a sticker you like in a chat, and right-click on it to save it as an image. The file won’t be a picture, though—it’s a webpage and will have a .webp extension. Don’t be scared, this is the way. Repeat this step to save as many stickers as you want.Then, open Telegram in your browser and go into your Saved messages chat. Just as you’d share a file with a friend, click the Share file button on the bottom left of the chat window (it looks like a dog-eared paper), and select the .webp files you downloaded. Click Open and you’ll see your stickers in your Saved messages chat. This is now your sticker depository. To use them, forward them as you would a message from one chat to the other: by clicking or long-pressing on the sticker, and then choosing Forward.
