Ultimate Chart (a/o May 18th):
In 2010, vinyl shipments were 4 million, according to US-based data tracked by the RIAA. In 1977, that figure was 344 million. This also may not be the first bout of nostalgia: in 1998, sales were 3.4 million, while the 2009 tally was 3.2 million.

wait, wait, wait... you mean the world doesn't look exactly like Williamsburg?

if these numbers were normalized and compared to phased-out formats this would be really illuminating. comparing vinyl as a primary format to a phased-out format is apples to oranges. a better question is: has any other phased-out format (tapes, 8-track, CDs) EVER grown 100% yoy as vinyl has been?
Vail, CO Thursday, May 05, 2011
Valid point there: this is the first time an old format has come back like this. But I think this whole thing is so overblown. The numbers themselves aren't that impressive on vinyl and I think it's already plateau-ing.
