"In 2007, as the ascent of digital music continued, scratchy, unportable records seemed to be spinning into oblivion, accounting for 0.1% of UK album sales – equating to just 205,000 LPs.
But eight years on, a vinyl revival appears to be complete with the announcement of official weekly charts dedicated to the format that will count down the top 40 best-selling singles (including both 7in and 12in formats) and albums.
In a remarkable turnaround, sales have surged in recent years to the point where album sales this year could hit 10 times the numbers at the end of the noughties, prompting recognition from the Official Charts Company. Singles sales are also up, by around a quarter over the same period last year."
Has anyone else bought a vinyl recently ? And there are a couple good vinyl shops in Brighton!
