• Discogs Leads Vinyl Boom, Exceeds 43 Million in Sales for 2015

    Discogs, the online vinyl and CD marketplace, celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. To mark the occasion, the site has shared some propriety information regarding its role within the US vinyl boom with Billboard: so far in 2015 the site has exceeded $43.5 million in sales. To translate that figure into terms we audiophiles prefer, that's 2.5 million records, half a million CDs and 50,000 cassette tapes. Furthermore, as Resident Advisor reports, the figures reflect an industry-wide increase in vinyl sales, with the stats in the US at their highest in 25 years.
