Most recent RIAA figures show that there has been a significant drop in
retail sales of all physical formats:

SACD down by 44.6%
DVD-A down by 35.1%
Vinyl down by 32.3%
CD was down by 14.3%
Note that the list of biggest losers was led by SACD, DVD-A and then vinyl.
I wonder if the dearth of new major label releases has anything to do
with it.
The traditional CD format, which amounted for about 99% of all sales,
outperformed the rest.
As it always has, just as high quality cassettes outsold lps in the
eighties.
