This is another update looking at increasing CD sales and this time with news from the USA via Billboard Magazine.
CD Sales have increased for the first time in 17 years. Although in some quarters you might read that without Adele or Taylor Swift they still would have declined. However, Adele sold close to 900,000 CDs of her latest album and Taylor Swift who was promoting three albums in 2021 sold roughly 250,000 of each one.

Considering all the press for CDs is usually negative and there is literally no marketing push from the labels for CDs and in the USA many retail outlets have stopped stocking them this is very impressive.

At Now Spinning Magazine we support ALL physical formats and love vinyl but as we start to get more record labels, PR agencies and media people checking out this channel I just want to say that the CD revival is alive and kicking.
This channel is growing all the time and has a very strong global community who are passionate about supporting artists via physical albums and box sets and love CDs as much as vinyl

The videos on this channel that talk about CDs have had 1000s of views and on our Private Music Group CDs are the format that gets posted the most.
