Some info from another forum:Trigger wrote:Also keep in mind that we turned from zero vinyl to the 500-1000 quantity, which is enough for me to call a comeback. If we take into consideration that EVERYTHING is pressed on LP, there is no more proof needed to justify this notion. So we have hundreds of those 500-1000 vinyl pressings and that's only in the heavy metal genre, I have no idea what are the numbers in other vinyl related genres that are revived lately, from pop bands (I mean real bands not computer music) to rock and electronic music, isn't this a comeback or what? More and more bands record analog for a reason (or two).
Sales of new LPs continues to rise (the only physical format on the increase).
Queens Of The Stone Age sold 12,000 copies of their new release "...Like Clockwork" on vinyl in the first week of release (91,000 copies total including other formats).
Daft Punk's latest album moved 19,000 copies on vinyl in the first 2 weeks of release
