According to Rob Campkin, the head of Music at Virgin Megastores, vinyl is
now outselling CDs when it comes to the latest records.
根據 Virgin Megastore 的 Rob Campkin 指出, 黑膠最近的銷售相比CD要出色。
"Up to 70% of sales of new releases are vinyl. The fans of popular new
rock bands like Arctic Monkeys and The Raconteurs prefer vinyl to CD,"
said Campkin. "When the Raconteurs' latest single was released, 80% of
high-street sales were for seven-inch vinyl and only 20% were for CDs."
高達七成的銷量來自黑膠, 一些樂與怒樂隊如"Arctic Monkeys"和 "The Raconteurs" 的歌迷寧願選擇黑膠。Campkin說: 「Raconteurs 的最近推出的 single (細碟) , 銷售80%是七吋黑膠, 只有兩成是CD。」
"We are not just talking about vinyl singles but also about albums - the
format is just continuing to grow," said HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo.
HMV發言人Gennaro Castald 說:「我們所說的不單是single, 也包括大碟, 而且是繼續增長。」
Between 2001 and 2005, annual sales of vinyl single in the UK rose sixfold to over 1m, accounting for 14.7% of all physical singles sales in 2005, up from 12.2% in 2004. The industry expects vinyl figures for the current year to be even more dramatic.
2001-2005年, 黑膠single唱片的銷量平均每年在英國有六倍的升幅, 超過 1百萬張, 分別在2004年佔細碟 12.2% 和 2005年的14.7%。預計黑膠的銷售在來年將有更戲劇性的增長!!
