Streaming has been dominating the music industry for years now, but 2021 saw a notable rise in sales of physical albums, thanks in part to the success of Adele's latest album.
Both CDs and vinyl experienced high sales in 2021, according to an annual year-end music data report from MRC Data, released this week. Vinyl's resurgence in culture has been nothing short of a skyrocket. In 2011, vinyl only made up 1.7% of physical sales of music, with CDs making up the rest. In just 10 years, that number rose to 50.4% -- meaning that vinyls have now surpassed CDs as the most sold physical format for the first time since 1991, MRC reported.
The album was the top-selling album on vinyl this year, followed by Olivia Rodrigo's"Sour" and Taylor Swift's"Red" rerelease.Part of it, MRC reported, has to do with the success of Record Store Day, a popular promotion that takes place in the spring. Sales of new releases and reissues have grown on Record Store Day since 2011, MRC said, driven by buy-in from popular artists.
