THE DECLINE OF RINGTONES

The research firm IBISWorld new study indicates that the music ringtone market is continuing its steady decline. IBISWorld forecasts that revenue will decline for the second consecutive year down 15% to $750 million from its $880 million peak in 2007.

The reason for the decline of ringtones is due to the growing demand of downloads, which is worth an estimated $1.94 billion. In the inception of ringtones they were purchased via text and cost consumers up to $5 a song. Whereas, with downloads a song can be purchased for less than one dollar.

Senior Analyst of IBISWorld indicated that the ringtone market has reached its decline stage and its life cycle is expected to last approximately 15 years. He further stated that ringtones boomed overnight and its decline is happening just as fast as it entered.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JUNIOR TUCKER

Junior Tucker was born in Kingston, Jamaica, he began singing at the age of 5. Junior became a household name in Jamaica at the age of 7 with his first song "Happy" that went to number in the charts.

At age 12, he was singed to Island Records. At 14 he obtained a recording contract with Geffen Records, USA and at 23 he was signed to Virgin Records, UK.

During his days as a dancehall artist Junior had many number one songs, singer of the year titles, fame, fortunes, jet set life style that one would love to have. For Junior this brought added pressure, as he had to work extremely hard to maintain his position for the public.

The turbulence that was present in his life, the death of his father and having to maintain a number one position, he yearned a more meaningful life. In so doing, he kept searching, praying and looking at other religions for answers. One night he received an answer that woke him from his sleep. It was then and there he was delivered. Junior publicly accepted Jesus Christ at a gospel concert that very same week.

Since, Junior's acceptance of Jesus Christ he has often professed that he has seen the light and there is no turning back. Junior resides in Florida with his wife and three daughters. He continues to bless his audience with his singing, preaching and praise workshops.


Today, I would like to wish JUNIOR TUCKER a HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
