This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply. The RIAA have released their mid-year report and vinyl sales are creeping up on CDs. Net revenues from physical products bucked the recent trend in unit sales and grew 5% to $485 million in 1H 2019; however, this growth was the result of a reduction in physical product returns, and on a gross basis the revenues from physical product would have been down for the period. Vinyl albums grew 13% to $224 million, but still only accounted for 4% of total revenues in 1H 2019. Expand - View Original
The timing on this report couldn't be more perfect. One of my lawsuits is going to mediation in two weeks, and a big chunk of my argument was based on the 2018 year-end statistics. The 2019 mid-year statistics are even better for me. Thanks for posting, Jason!
