::::I completely understand where you are coming from now; however, your last comment is completely wrong. The sorting of the list will only show the markets with the highest percentages of digital sales - this is completely different from total digital sales for each market. For example, if you were to look at the #1 US market and compare that to the #20 China market (digital), you can clearly see that China has the largest digital percentage of its own total sales. However, if the US had only a 2% digital market of its own total sales, then the US would still have a larger market for digital sales - $89.63M (2% US digital) vs $75.8M (82% China digital). |

::::I understand that there the only way to do this is manually since the original data does not contain that number. Nonetheless, can that be added when new data is added to this page?

It would be nice to have that data available since it is a simple calculation, and there are a lot of individual data entries to calculate for all markets in all years (where enough data is available). |

Ranking via Digital Sales
You should also put in the actual market share of digital sales and its ranking. I am assuming that is also included in the report. Ciscorucinski (talk) 05:33, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- You probably haven't looked at the tables very closely. The tables for 2011 and 2012 do include digital sales as well as physical sales.--Harout72 (talk) 15:01, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
- You probably haven't looked at what I said very closely. Sorry, I know what I was looking at. I have asked for ranking of digital sales. There is the ranking for the total industry (physical and digital), and digital is growing. So it would be nice to see how countries rank via digital year-to-year. Actually it would be cool if they had rankings for total, physical, and digital...and you can just sort the table out from that -- Ciscorucinski (talk) 20:30, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
- The ranking in the tables is based on IFPI annual reports (see the sources posted below each table), and they don't indicate the total retail value for Digital sales each market represents, we just have the percentages. And since we have specific percentages provided for each one of the sectors (Digital and Physical), readers can do the calculations manually. For example, in 2012, the total Retail Value for U.S. is $4,481.8 billion, the 58% of that belongs to digital sector, meaning $2.594.4 billion is coming from the Digital sales. The tables also have up/down sortable arrows in each column. By clicking on the arrows of the Digital column (for example), you bring the market with highest Digital sales to the top, and it will list the market with the smallest Digital sales at the bottom.--Harout72 (talk) 00:00, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
