According to the RIAA, last year there were 46.8M vinyl records and 29.5M CDs sold in just the U.S., for a total of 76.3M units, up from the all-time low of 56.8M units in 2020.

Wait, more vinyls sold that CDs? That's definitely a surprise to me. I knew vinyls were popular but I had no idea about how popular exactly they were.

Yeah it's kinda frustrating lol. My favorite artist atm only releases on Vinyl, I have a CD player in the car, can't play records while driving! But I found a (likely bootleg) set of 6 CDs with her performances I can play. I guess you can burn vinyls onto CDs yourself.

Also amazing amount of different record players you can buy nowadays.
