Streaming services continue to revive fortunes of music industry as new albums from top artists drive sales to record high.

The popularity of Ed Sheeran and his latest album, Divide, helped drive a 58% increase in streaming revenue for Warner Music, putting it on track to make more than $1.3bn from digital services including Spotify and Apple Music this year.

After a decade of plummeting revenues due to online piracy, the decline in CD sales and a lack of viable streaming services, the music industry's fortunes are looking up.
