interesting reading.

In the past five years, the number of singles sold has soared six-fold and now exceeds one million for the first time since 1998.

Is he talking about the number of 7in singles sold annually, or the number of singles sold in a week? Both are now just over a million.

 

 

The Denial Twist, a single by The White Stripes, recently made it into the Top 10 on the back of vinyl sales alone

Completely wrong.

Some of it, is too perplexed to understand

i like buying vinyl for collection. esp piccy discs.

 

dont bother with cds that much unless the album is very very cheap or has got a dvd in the packet.

Ah!!! back to the good old days when great music was the norm rather than the exception like the stuff these days

you still can't beat vinyl, the sound is far better than CD. I've still got a handful of old 12" singles left, back to 1978, and the sound is far, far superior than the same song on CD. There's a richer sound, and as most of the 12" singles I still have are disco / dance type stuff, a far better bass sound.
