In this video, I share and discuss the huge headline about vinyl hitting 1 billion in sales. Though very exciting, it doesn't tell the full story about how record stores make their money, or the reason behind the sales. What really keeps record stores in business? New record sales are only part of the story. Will young people keep records going years from now? Record stores are finding ways to build lasting connections that could potentially allow vinyl to endure.
The sad headline about CD sales is also addressed. New sales are down but that doesn't tell the whole story. Is there a silver lining? Let's discuss.
Bands/artists such as Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter are all discussed.
