Doesn't that have more to do with Vinyl being basically a collectors format with much higher MSRPs per album than CD? In unit sales CD still sells more.
No, vinyl is the majority of physical sales by unit now in the US.
> According to data from the MRC and Billboard, 38.3 per cent of all album sales in the country last year were in vinyl format, while it accounted over 50 per cent of all physical album sales (41.72 million sales out of a total of 82.79 million).
I have no interest in going back to vinyl and I don't have most of my old albums any longer. But if you want retro physicality of your music medium, vinyl probably has a lot more appeal than the alternatives. I do buy CDs from time to time if they're as cheap or cheaper than MP3s (or they're something oddball I can't buy digitally). But I generally then just rip them and put the physical CD in a box in the attic.
