U.K.

U.K. vinyl sales have reached a record high for 2016. According to the British Phonographic Industry, 3.2 million records were sold last year, an increase of 53% from the year before. An industry insider cites Millennials’ desire for experiences for helping to drive the increase, but also says that today’s music fans’ listening preferences are “multi-channel.” Although CD sales experienced a drop of 11% last year from 2015, they still sold a strong 47.3 million, and audio streams increased by more than two-thirds.
