Netflix, Spotify and Apple power UK entertainment revenue to record £6.1bn

Sales of Adele's 25 slow decline in music sales enough for music spending to rise for the first time in at least a decade

UK revenue from music, TV shows, films and video games hit an all-time high of 6.1bn in 2015 thanks to the booming popularity of digital services offered by players including Netflix, Amazon, Spotify and Apple.

A surge in digital spending combined with the mega-selling new album by Adele hauled the total UK music market to its first growth in at least a decade, up 3.5% to 1.06bn. The UK music industry saw the number of streams almost double to 27m and physical sales, while flat, were greater than they have been for a decade.
