Follow UK Immigration and UK Life: This year, sales of UK vinyl records have reached a new high in over a decade, which is particularly noteworthy in the era of digital music.
Reports citing statistics from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) indicate that, as of now in 2013, nearly 550,000 vinyl records have been sold in the UK. However, compared to digital music downloads and CD sales, the total proportion remains low, accounting for only 0.7% of all album sales.
Nevertheless, the British Phonographic Industry still describes this as a "renaissance for the record industry." In an era where downloaded music is prevalent, many people still enjoy owning vinyl records.
