Álbumes y singles de vinilo y cassettes: las estrellas físicas 2021 en UK
El crecimiento de venta de música en formato físico -fundamentalmente en vinilos y cassettes, también box sets- sigue dando que hablar, y cada año el porcentaje sube. En cuanto a los CDs, es el único formato que no crece ostensiblemente pero que de todas maneras, ha detenido su retroceso, lo que cual también es alentador. Todo ésto -tengamos en cuenta- durante una pandemia con mucho de cuarentenas y retrasos en la cadena de distribución.
La venta de discos de vinilo con respecto al 2020 fue de un 11% más – 8% más en álbumes, siendo además el 14° año consecutivo creciendo con respecto al inmediato anterior y más de 5.000.000 vendidos-.
A continuación, ránkings finales de ventas físicas en el Reino Unido (suministrados por The Official Charts UK), porque como siempre decimos: #comprendiscos
