In terms of nostalgia-buying, we millenials are now the older generation. I doubt it's all the 15-20yo who are buying CDs.

    I went looking for data and it seems cd sales are on the decline again. So my info is outdated. It looks like it was trending younger with Taylor swift and k-pop titles as the top sellers. It appears to be less of a revival and more of a fad.

    It looks like vinyl is still growing in 2026 even while cd decrease again.

    It’s a bummer since artist can get a bigger cut of physical media sales and cd are easier to make than a records.

    Btw, what about digital album sales? On Amazon, for example, you can buy a CD digitally. You just get MP3s or similar, but it costs the same as the CD, just without the physical media.
