Vinyl made up a third of all physical music sales in the first half 2015 in the U.S. Sales of traditional records generated more revenue for artists than free versions of Spotify, YouTube and Vevo combined, according to research from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Physical records raised $222 million, while ad-supported music services only contributed $163,000 million. Old-school record sales rose 52%.
