Vinyl Records Show Growth in 2015

Billboard reports:

Despite Adele's record-breaking success physical albums continued their downward spiral, dropping to 137.5 million sales, from 150 million, or 8.3 percent.

That overall physical decline didn't affect the resurgence of vinyl however, which ballooned by 29.8 percent and moved 11.9 million slabs (9.2 million units in 2014). Including Adele, who dominated vinyl sales (in addition to almost everything else), 14 titles surpassed the 40,000 unit sales mark in vinyl for the year. Only three albums accomplished the same feat in 2014.

Hats off to vinyl.
