    Cool

    Ah, yes, yet another "unbiased" article about record sales, excitedly talking about
    the "boom" in record sales, when they didn't clear a million.
    CD sales dropped and they still sold ten million of em, and they didnt mention the main
    reason vinyl sales are up. Crack mixed with floor stripper(called juice), the latest craze
    lowering an already basement level national I.Q.

    It appears Taylor Swift alone probably out-sells all vinyl combined.

    "According to Nielsen Entertainment, vinyl record sales have been booming over the past four years. In 2009, 2.5 million albums were sold in the U.S., up from 1.88 million in 2008.

    Maybe speed reading doesn't work for you.

    Big deal, vinyl is still insignificant.

    Not to me. I'll still take my 24/96 vinyl rips over almost any redbook CD I have.
