Number of sales: CD vs LP


One of my friend recently told me that the overall sale of LPs surpassed CDs. Can it be true? I thought he was joking, but somehow he was serious.
Well, MP3s and music download certainly has not helped to boost the CD sales, but I think the overall LP sale is still a fraction of CD sales.

Anyway, I've seen steady increase in used LP sales. I could get decent ones at $1~3 about 6~7 years ago, but now it is more like $3~6.

ALL TIME SALES??? Then obviously from early in the 20th century it is possible more lp's have been produced considering it has like a 100 or 75 year history opposed to about 20 mainstream years of CD.. However if its just for The year of 2006 or 07' I would really doubt the 300 or more cd's sold a day at each best buy would be even less than that of LP.
