The Vinyl Boom<br />

Since the early 1990s, vinyl record sales have been skyrocketing.<br />

According to Nielsen, an online music statistics site, U.S. album sales<br />

between January and March of 2015 were 53% higher than last year,<br />

driven largely by solid gains in “catalog album sales” (Brandle).<br />

In the U.S., vinyl album sales have increased by 260% since 2009. Vinyl<br />

unit sales rose to 9.2 million in 2014, up from 6.1 million in 2013.<br />
