You could access all your saved music and millions of other songs on a phone or digital device for eternity (or at least until the platform shuts down).
It was so cool … until it wasn’t.
Welcome to the vinyl revival, as it’s being called, where even the youngest kids have decided their grandparents had it right all along.
Good old-fashioned analog LPs are back big time.
The Recording Industry of America says revenue from record sales climbed to $1.4 billion in 2023 and accounted for nearly 10% of all music format sales. In 2022, vinyl surpassed compact disc sales for the first time since Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me” and Belinda Carlisle’s “Heaven Is a Place on Earth” topped the charts in 1987.
So why is vinyl back in style?
