In 2021 las vinyl disc sales superaron by first time in 30 years to the compact discs. Agreed with the annual report of MRC Data on the state of the music industry, made in association with the magazine Billboard, the year passed sold 41.7 million vinyl discs and 40.6 million compact discs in the United States.
The sale of vinyl discs increased by 51.4% in United States between 2020 and 2021. While the format has been declining for the last decade, the production chain has topped with a series of issues that we have previously encountered in this space . The plants to produce discs in the world are limited to the demand of discus artists from all walks of life. This is also the first material collection for manufacturers, which has raised the prices of discs. Many vinyl launches by independent artists launched in 2021 will be in limbo due to this disruption in the production chain.
The physical format in the music industry appears to be an extinction species of up to four decades. As with the polar bears and penguins of the arctic, the extinction of the physical format is thought to be primarily with the cassette. Read about the compact disc, the MP3, the digital trends and subsequently the streaming. Nothing of this has really happened.
“Home taping is killing the music industry” was the language we used British Phonographic Industry in those years in his campaign to disrupt the popularization of the cassette. A format that apocalyptically represents the end of the music industry because it means that the people begin to buy discos from night to night.
In the new years, the compact compact disc will be displaced by a cassette and the acetabulum will be converted into an artifact of the past that will have a parallel dimension of powder. In 1999, the highest point of the compact disco, NSYNC sold out its first week 2.4 million compact discs on its album No Strings Attached. Last year, the artist who had the most compact discs sold in his first week of launch Adele with 378,000 copies of his album album 30. In the second place, Taylor Swift sold 146,700 CDs in the first week of Red (Taylor’s Version).
Agreed with the MRC Data report, the sales of compact discs will take place in the first half of 17 years. In 2021, 40.6 million compact discs will be sold, only 400,000 more than in 2020 (40.2 million).
The principles of sailing appear the digital formats on the stage and are destroyer to the compact discs. The megacities of music of the great cities disappear and all appear to make digital futures. For some the music of the first decade of this new song was released in some digital reproducer because it could not be accessed because it did not have a compatible cable or a portable computer that recorded the step of obsolescence programmed. Digital sales at a moment’s notice the future. See the stream which I read to reconfigure the camp and help you to experience the renaissance of vinyl between the nostalgic and romantic, of those that appear in the novels of Nick Hornby.
Although in 2020 an increase was recorded in the sales of the vinyl discs y en los CD, the physical disc sales represent only 9% and the digital album sales only represent 3% of the pastel. The reproduction of music has reached streaming platforms that support the 81% of all music industry and this sequel is a reality that will not change.
The nostalgic ones who had a decade regressed with much enthusiasm for the vinyl because he had sought to rediscover the practice and even of the compact disco. But there are no indications that we will finally see the renaissance of compact discs, these brilliant artifacts that for decades have kept our musical records.
