Google is expanding its
Click-to-Buy e-commerce platform for music and games videos to
eight more countries following
UK
research that shows half of people who watch a YouTube music
video go on to buy music by that artist.
The new countries are Australia, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy,
Japan, New Zealand, and Sweden. Thai Tran, YouTube product manager,
said on the Google blog that three of the four major music labels
are Click-to-Buy partners and are already selling millions of songs
a year from these links on YouTube.
