  • According to a report by the Recording Industry Association of America, vinyl sales in 2022 saw 16 consecutive years of growth and have surpassed CDs for the first time since 1987. Ursina Beerli, Co-founder of Precious Sound, says that this trend in vinyl sales shows that there is a “premiumization” of vinyl records in the music industry. This means that there is a market for luxury music memorabilia, and that fans are willing to spend significant amounts of money for merchandise that represents the bond between the artist and their fans.
