Paul Resnikoff reports:
While Best Buy is ditching CDs, it is interesting to note that the company plans to continue selling vinyl records, right next to high-selling turntables. The vinyl format remains high-growth, thanks to a decade-long nostalgia boom that shows no sign of abating. This is a major shift towards the past, as vinyl has been making a comeback in recent years, with sales increasing every year. In 2017, vinyl sales in the US reached a record high of 14.32 million units, up 9 percent from the previous year, according to Nielsen.
Physical formats of music have been treading water for the past 10 years.
