Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) released its annual U.S. mobile music projections for 2010 at the CTIA Enterprise and Applications Show in San Francisco today. BMI valued the 2010 retail ringback-tone market in the United States at $181 million, down slightly from its revised 2009 retail forecast of $195 million.

BMI’s study is based on census data on the buying habits of 225 million U.S wireless subscribers, covering nearly 80% of the wireless subscriber market. BMI’s systems track song titles and revenues associated with the U.S. use of ringback-tone services, streaming audio, and streaming audio/visual services.

Shazam, the world’s leading mobile discovery provider, today announced that its popular Android application is now being pre-loaded onto LG handsets in a worldwide rollout which has commenced in Europe with the LG Optimus GT540.
