Vinyl sales in UK top 1m
Arctic Monkeys and Jack White boost record-breaking figures
Vinyl sales in the UK have passed 1m, with heritage acts and modern greats alike driving figures to their highest figures in almost 20 years.
AM, by the Arctic Monkeys, and Jack White's Lazaretto were the best-sellers, but golden oldies Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin also contributed to the enormous rise, which has turned vinyl from a £3m industry just five years ago to now topping the £20m mark.
With the Christmas market still to kick into full swing, it's thought that good ol' fashioned record sales could surpass 1.2m by the end of 2014.
