One interesting nugget:

"However, while CD and DVD sales continue to steadily decline, the vinyl resurgence has seen nationwide retailers like Urban Outfitters, Barnes & Noble and even Whole Foods dedicating floor space to the medium. Vinyl sales rose 52 percent over the first half of 2015, with one-third of all physical music sales now vinyl records. However, that total only represents 7 percent of all music purchases."
