from slashgear,
"The Recording Industry Association of America or RIAA has just released its 2017 report detailing last year’s revenue figures. And for the first time since 2011, sales of physical media have surpassed digital downloads. That said, digital is still king when you consider that music streaming remains the biggest source of profit for the industry."

From syracuse,

"vinyl sales were up 10 percent to $395 million - a "bright spot among physical formats," the RIAA noted. It's a tiny fraction of the industry's overall sales, but it was enough to convince Sony last year to start pressing LPs again after a 28-year hiatus."

Guess, what is old is gold.. :)
