Journalism is dead. So dead the article itself contradicts the title. "Historic high"? Nope.
"This was the biggest week for vinyl sales since Nielsen Music/MRC Data began electronically tracking music sales in 1991." So biggest week since vinyl was written off for dead in the 90's.
That's just stupid, lazy reporting. Far as I know vinyl sales growth has had the greatest growth rate of anything in the music business for going on like 30 years now. For almost all that time it was derided as, "Who cares?" Because it was so small relative to everything else. So it was ignored. Until now, vinyl sales have for the first time ever outpaced CD. That's the real story.
