RIAA Midyear Report (2020): Vinyl Revenues Exceed Those of CDs— First Time Since 1982:
Michael Fremer (Analog Planet) reports (10 Sept '20) that: " 1H (first half) 2020 revenues from vinyl sales resulted in a net overall increase of 4% or a total of $232 million dollars, or 62% of total physical revenues, marking the first time vinyl exceeded CDs for such a period since the 1980s, though it still only accounted for 4% of total music recorded music revenues. " Michael refers to the RIAA MID-YEAR 2020 RIAA REVENUE STATISTICS. Including the following summary data: (Distorted a little by (& in spite of?) the Covid-19 pandemic, compared to 2019.)

Look at units shipped and cds still ahead. Grossly over priced vinyl kicks the dollar value up.

Wow. 85% streaming revenue cf 7% physical
Assuming $30 a month for streaming at its more expensive cost, is $360 a year. 85% equates to $425 per year, so 7% is only about $30 per year spent on physical formats. Of which about half is on vinyl, or about only $15 spent per year. Which on average (per person) is about a third or half a new album/year! Or is my maths wrong?
