Looks like the projections were right, but how long can this surge last? Here's a look at first-half vinyl sales in the US, according to data shared with Digital Music News by Nielsen Soundscan.

As part of the team arguing "lossless" matters...this is fantastic. Vinyl is superb and yes, sound quality does matter...

Buncha dreamers here. This is a classic example of that thing we call a "fad."
