Record shipments declined in 2003, but at a substantially slower rate
than the steep slide seen in 2002, the Recording Industry Association of
America (RIAA) said Thursday. The value of music shipped to U.S. retail outlets fell by 4.3 percent in 2003, compared with a 6.8 percent drop the previous year. The number of units shipped dropped just 2.7 percent, compared with 7.8 percent in 2002, the group said.
