For the first time,Taboo Sex: Daughter in law, Sister in law, Mother in law (2025) money spent on vinyl records in the UK overtook that spent on digital downloads.
SEE ALSO: Keeping the needle on the record: Vinyl's unlikely comebackUK record sales figures for vinyl hit £2.4m last week compared with the £2.1m made from digital downloads, according to the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA), which which used Official Charts data.
Online purchases are still the more popular products with 295,000 albums sold in the same period as opposed to 120,000 vinyls.
That's because vinyl albums are much more expensive than downloads.
Kate Bush's triple-disc live album Before The Dawn, which is sold at £52 in the shops and topped the charts last week, is available for download at just £12.
In the past 12 months, interest in buying a vinyl has grown dramatically. The same week last year the sale in physical albums were at just £1.2m while digital purchases were £4.4m.
The surge is partly attributed to a number of retailers -- like Sainsbury's and Tesco -- which decided to stock vinyl, making them more accessible, ERA said.
That also explains why big albums such as Amy Winehouse's Back to Black and Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol. 1-- stocked in a variety of supermarkets -- are performing strongly in the sales chart.
Vinyl has also become an increasingly popular choice for Christmas gifts.
"This is yet further evidence of the ability of music fans to surprise us all," said ERA chief Kim Bayley."It's not so long ago that the digital download was meant to be the future. Few would have predicted that an album format, first invented in 1948 and based on stamping a groove into a piece of plastic, would now be outselling it in 2016."
In May, the British Phonographic Industry, which represents recording artists and the UK music industry, launched an attack on YouTube and other video streaming services, saying artists are actually making more from vinyl sales than video streams.
Their findings, which were published in the Music Market 2016yearbook, are based on data from the Official Charts company and various other organisations including IFPI and Kantar Worldpanel.
