SoundScan is reporting that for the year 2009, the sale of of traditional vinyl LP’s grew a staggering 33 percent, topping off at 2.5 million albums sold (with most of these sales coming from independent retailers; a good sign for the traditionalist music geek in us all). However, gross album sales of all formats dropped 12.7 percent, with digital sales (which grew about 16.1 percent last year) unable to make up the difference of the steadily aging physical compact disc. (So vinyl grew…..and CD’s declined…the ghost of Jam Master Jay????) The sale of individual singles blew up to 1.1 billion this year, only proving the world’s inability to pay attention to anything not in 3 minute and 15 second intervals.
